Rumor has it this Canon 5D Henry's is selling on ebay was meticulously modified by albino leprechauns with solid gold internal components, fairy-wand-illuminated viewfinder, and a special invisible-unicorn-tears coating on the sensor which is said to enable the capability to photograph god himself!

It's probably modified for Kirlian photography.

I need one for my next meeting with L. Ron Hubbard. I heard that he might need a better technique to detect Thetan levels.

Ya, I didn't get it either.... but I did figure it had something to do with pricing. But its fixed now. Is this the going price for the 5D? Seems high to me?

I hate buying from Henrys on eBay. The want US$ and they won't allow local pickup so you get dinged for postage. And they charge taxes.
