IM conversation between myself and my husband, JBQ, about the new 16.7 megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds MARK-II SLR camera which costs $8000:

jbqueru: The new one has almost the same pixel size as the 10D, but in a sensor that’s 2.5 times larger in area.

eugenia_loli: want it?

jbqueru: Let me see. It’s built solidly enough to survive a fall from a truck. So if one falls from a truck I’ll use it.

eugenia_loli: 🙂 🙂

jbqueru: Or if a pack of 80 $100 bills falls from a truck, I’ll swap 😀
