Someone just handed you a check for $5000. What do you buy with it?

Assuming you're speaking of digital cameras, I would buy a Canon EOS 1D
MKII.

Nothing. It goes in the bank.

The camera I want is an EOS 3 or _lower_ based dSLR (so I can lift it) with
a full-frame sensor built from 10D pixels (6M x 1.6 x 1.6 = 15MP).

It'll appear at some point, so I'll wait.

A new glass eye with plenty of memory in it.

Ok ok ok and a little on the side to keep the flame lit.
But only cause it's mothers day and I like to share myself and a little
cash.
When I go to church today I don't repent I re-hint!

Gotta go now and look outta me glassy eye and find a way to get one of those
$5000 checks.

Ummm, lets see, you are going to buy a $4,500 camera (that is on allocation, so
you are likely to wait months to get the camera) and then buy a cheap lens to
go with it and a small memory card because you've blown your entire budget on
the camera.

Another Canon lens for my outfit, probably the f/4.0 DO IS USM telephoto, I
have been drooling over it since I first read about it. If I bought a gray
market one, I'd have enough left over from $5000 for lunch money..if I ate
cheap. <g>
