Well yesterday I was coming home from work had my gear with me as always. I stopped at the store to pick up some sushi and a couple Monster energy drinks. Came back out to the car and drove home. Went to pull out my bag and I get that sinking feeling its gone!! I won a jeep wrangler so the simply unzipped my back window snatched it. I was freaking out thinking I am totally screwed because after the deductible and depreciated value well you know not enough to even replace the body and one L series lens. I talk to my wife she gives me that "I cant Fning believe you" look but tells me everything will be alright as she has all my gear covered under a 8000.00 blanket policy. Talked to my company that night and will have a check in 7-10days.
After I replace my glass, I will have about 3000 left to get a new body. I had a 30d and xti dont really need 2 bodies. I was thinking about getting a 5D or a 40D and save the rest.
I haven't had a chance to use a 5D and I know its getting up there in age but is it still worth the money I have a feeling it will produce better quality photos over the 40D. Ugg had no plans on even looking at a new body now I have to pick on out. Oh and sticking with canon as my 24-105mm f/4L lens was at the house for some. I even considered not replacing a lens and using that money to get a 1D Mark 3 but not sure If I really want to go that route though it is a nice camera.
