Consider yourselves lucky. The 5D3 costs Php 208,131.47 body only here in Scandinavia, and throughout most of Europe. I like this camera a lot after having played with the pre-production unit. I have it on order as well as the Nikon D800 but secretly I wish the D800 will ship earlier, since it’s cheaper (approx. Php 170.000) and both cameras are equally excellent.
