Phoenixkh a mere speck More info | Aug 09, 2012 10:15 | #4 I noticed the brick is also missing from Canon's own site so that does suggestion version II should be released sooner than later. Kim (the male variety) Canon 1DX2 | 1D IV | 16-35 f/4 IS | 24-105 f/4 IS | 100L IS macro | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II | 100-400Lii | 50 f/1.8 STM | Canon 1.4X III

Holy crap the new one is $1200 more than what I paid new for mine back in 2009. If I had to repurchase Canon glass I have now I don't think I could afford to. Definitely would have to go with affordable Sigma, Tamron, or Tokina glass. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

If I can get one new for like $1600-1700 I will be all over it. But I really will not pay more. If it has IS it would be much more appealing for the money asked.

I'm really hoping the optics have improved drastically to justify the price. If not, even with the rebates I don't know how appealing it'll be. Anyone have any guesses on how much of a hit Mark I's in used price will take? I'll pick one of those up if they're <$1000. e=mc ** 2

The market will flood a bit, then recover shortly after to a slightly higher price. Much like the 5D2 did with the 5D3 release. They sold as low as $1450 and $1500 shortly after release and rebounded some.

Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

I have a 70-200 f/2.8L IS I bought a few years ago new. I just checked KEH for used prices and this lens is currently going for about $1500 which is $100 more than when I bought it new. I'm guessing folks that want a particular lens but can't afford Canon's new prices will likely look for older versions and the prices will go up do to demand. There's a used "Brick" at KEH going for about $350 more than I paid for mine new. I used to think gold was a good investment Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin.

If Canon comes out with a 135/2 II or a 135/1.8 IS and I haven't yet made the purchase of the current one, I will have to bump up that lens up on my priority scale to prevent paying more for it. Canon 7D/350D, Σ17-50/2.8 OS, 18-55IS, 24-105/4 L IS, Σ30/1.4 EX, 50/1.8, C50/1.4, 55-250IS, 60/2.8, 70-200/4 L IS, 85/1.8, 100/2.8 IS L, 135/2 L 580EX II, 430EX II * 2, 270EX II.
