My first SLR was Canon EOS 1D + hockey bag full of white lenses back in 2002. After measly $18K of expense I owned the most advanced professional equipment of a century.
My second SLR was 16MP monster Canon EOS 1Ds MkII which set me back for another $9k - just for the box with the hole.
These magnesium alloy bodies that can withstand Iraq sandstorms, tropical showers and beings thrown onto the concrete floors without blinking earned my heart appreciation.
I sold away both of my 1D bodies since then and it feels like i sold my soul.
I am looking back to the moment I'll re-buy Canon 1D-whatever Pro body.
I am sorry for spilling my soul and not adding any value to the discussion about inexpensive cameras.
