I like the silver bodies, but I've never seen a gold body that looks good. Not sure why.
You could say the same thing about gold watches, too.
And this, when people are starving and homeless. If I had money to throw away on crap like this, I wouldnt. I'd probably put it into medical research instead.
Slippery slope there Sue - you could legitimately make that point about probably 80% of the stuff some of us buy around here. It's just that we perceive real value with most of what we buy, so it seems more justifiable than this, which is purely bling. But really, a $6000 Leica or D4s or something would seem just as obscene to anyone not WAY into photography...

No slippery slopes there, Ray. I take your point but gold plating on a camera is way way beyond anything I would spend on, even if I could afford it. I stand by my comment.
and with how soft gold is, can you imagine if anyone actually USED it.....it would be all scratched up and nasty.
