The new one costs € 2.095 (approx. 3080 US$). Yes, almost everything is more expensive in Germany, it's the damn taxes. |

Hey great move man. I've been looking into getting a 5d for a long time but i'm waiting till i got to Montata, USA as there's no sales tax!.. i think the price you paid was a bit steep though, you could have had one shipped from USA for a lot cheaper... still, congrats on your purchase :)
What's next on the shopping list? |

| Enjoy the new toy and since you have already pulled the string, don't look at what it cost elsewhere. Just start shutter pressing and be happy |

Unless EU Customs notice the package and whack on the VAT% and Import Duty, that is. |
