I have only belonged to a few forums aside from UHH, photo, auto, and woodworking. UHH is the only one where folks try to save other people's money. On the others everyone was encouraged to get the best they could afford.
Different strokes for different folks.

I think once someone puts a question out on a board they are looking for multiple views, in addition to their own, and they make their own decision. My opinion is that given the type of photography he will be doing, he can get just as nice results at a lower price point. To me spending over $12k is overkill for how he will use it. Others will say something different and that is their perogative.
