Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III $6,999

In a slightly more realistic ballpark, the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III (body only) is the most expensive Canon you can buy from their site.  For grins and giggles, let's put the most expensive lens Canon offers online and see what our total is: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III body ($6,999) + EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM ($11,999) = $18, 998.  And just when you thought you could afford the camera, your dreams vanished with the addition of the lens.  However, because Canon loves you and appreciates your business, the EF lens mount on the Mark III means you have a wide range of 50 lenses to choose from (excluding EF-S lenses), making this the most expensive, versatile camera on the Canon market.  The camera itself is the size of a medium sized Japanese apartment coming in at 6.1 inches wide and 6.3 inches tall.  That alone means you need the biggest tripod available to help you hold it once you attach your massive super telephoto lens to it (most expensive tripod down below). In terms of how great the camera really is, the Mark III houses the brand new 21.1 megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor.  And in what seemed like a dare to the Canon creators, it also has a 45-point AF system.  All the new features, settings and doodads your camera loving mind can handle are no match for the dedicated Delete button.  Regardless of how good the camera is, it is still possible to take a terrible shot.
