An expensive decision

I want to get this body for a period of time and haven't done so due to the high price and out of stock issue. Eventually, thanks for Roland Lim http://rolandlim.wordpress.com/ , I got this one today. An impulsive and expensive decision.
I really don't know whether my skill can handle this one or not. Just give it a try.

Congrats!

I wonder if The Minister of Finance knows the cost of your expensive decision :-)

This is not blackmail...

Can't wait to see your pics from the new camera. You have fully utilised your 30D, so you are definitely not suffering from GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). LOL.

Congratulations!! It's a good camera.
For me is still expensive..:(

Well, congratulations for making the jump finally! I am sure you'll love the new camera. However, your expensive decision is not over yet. You'll need to buy new lenses, especially a new ultrawide zoom for the full frame 5D II. Your old EF-S 10-22mm won't work, you'll have no choice but to buy the EF 16-35mm f2.8L II!

I'm sure you'll do wonders with it. Good choice. May ask did you get permission from the Minister of Finance first, or are you going to seek forgiveness from her later with a very expensive gift ;).
