No price has been quoted yet but its probably going to be up there like the Mk IV I think at 6999.00.  Surprised they did not call this one a Mk V??

I think you're really only going to see serious news photographers, especially sports types, that are realistically in the market for something like this.

And the fan boys with money to burn...
