is Blowin Smoke!
They are on the list! (Birthday in 6 weeks).
The mark III was out when I got my 7d, and I just couldn't drop that much. I've got a couple of L lenses and they all do very well together (and they better at those prices!).
Again, nice job on the food. I have the same problem when taking my pics: I don't mind taking a second to get the SLR going during prep, but once the food is cooked it's time to eat. I've been known to snap a quick iphone pic at the end myself. Espicially since I get funny looks when I start taking pictures of food while everyone's ready to devour what's been cooked.
If your not making money taking pics the III is over kill, the 7d is a great camera also.
Ya i know how u feel, while my hands were all messy i had my wife take those pics, but when its time to eat and the food is lookig sexy the slr is no where around.
