Canon BG-E11

yup... technology wise, 5D3 is way ahead of 5DC but I've heard you said you paid $6,999 for your 5DC back then?

Really one heaven one earth.

Nope, I bought mine in July 2007 and was $3,570 for body only.

Go see what Sony puts on their A77's battery grip and compare that to Canon's. Worth a look IMHO.

I love the design of the grip. It has a slimer profile and easier to grip. This is due to the change of the design of the battery compartment. Now it is slot in by the side like the 1D series.

It's normal too. Just like computers, in the past was very expensive for a low-end machine and now cheaper for a higher-end one.

They are likely to position the cost close to D4 bah.

JP's RRP is SGD$10k and in SG's RRP is typically 10-20% cheaper. Looking at past JP-SG price trend and how Nikon has position the price point for D4, I'm guessing 8.5k to 9.5k right now

I still feel it'll be over $10k, maybe around $11k? I'm just speculating.
