I wouldn't expect to pay more than $3000, though I might throw in a thousand more if it's really neat. Even if the camera you suggest would autofocus my *current* lenses, then your suggested retail price would be prohibitive for me. Even if I could put the cash together, the worry of the thing getting damaged or stolen, would kill much of the freedom and fun of shooting, and thus nullify all the added quality of the camera; after all what good is the camera, if for whatever reason I don't get the shot.
