Canon was found to be the most popular camera brand in a recent survey conducted by Sortable, but even that reputation might not be enough to prevent people from fainting or crying at the sight of a certain price tag.

Said price tag belongs to the Canon 5D Mark III camera, which is supposed to go on sale in Singapore this Saturday, March 17, 2012.

The EOS 5D Mark III body alone costs S$4,699, or US$3,705, while the EOS 5D Mark III kit (body with EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens) will need S$5,999 / US$4730.

In case you're wondering what could possibly cost so much, the product has the new DIGIC 5+ processor, a 36 x 24mm full-frame CMOS sensor, ISO sensitivity of 100 – 25,600 (expandable up to L:50, H1:51,200) and a shooting speed of up to 6 fps.
