Russell. It is a awful lot of money I know. My Canon eos 50d cost me £500 second hand and has been obsolete for a few years now. This new camera will be my forever camera. When you spend a lot of time outdoors either fishing or birdwatching like I do .I need waterproof kit and unfortunately that comes with a hefty price tag especially camera's and more so Lenses. At this moment in time I can more than afford it, I've stopped buying records, It's the price of a Al Williams. I who am nothing. My favourite all time record. I don't smoke , very rarely drink. And with a bit of luck will be a lot less than the £2000, that price could even have been euro's not sterling.
