Today while my brother was telling my mum what lenses we should buy (I don't think a 14 yo deserves to use a 20D, even if he takes quite good photos), I realised that your comment isn't so unusual for a DSLR because a digital body costs far more than a film body. IIRC the EOS 1 series (top of the line) film cameras are something like 1 or 2 grand. The digital 1 series bodies top out at something like 10 grand
So I apologise for my comment.
As an interesting aside, Canon make a rather expensive 1200 mm L series lens. It is made after ordering and IIRC it costs 120,000 USD.
