Consider Larry/Rita has boasted of a camera armory of a D3x @ $7,400 + 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII @$2,179 for a camera lens combo of $9,579. Not chump change even if we tone back the D3x to a D3s @ $5,200 giving us a total of $7,379. -- Regards, Savageduck

It costs about $75 to $350 for any superzoom camera in the last 8-9 years to accomplish getting even better photos. <http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4858933159_611e8b1234_z.jpg>

I forgot, that you pixel obsessed (vs. worthwhile content obsessed) DSLR-TROLLS, gear-heads, twits, and other assorted wastes-of-flesh need to see a full resolution crop.
