Canon 5D III (5D3) - Brand New Shutter and Body

Price: $1,600.00
Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 10 Preowned equipment, but appears as new
Shipping instructions: FedEx Shipping included


I have a workhorse Canon 5D Mark III (5D3) that I've phasing out of my work flow. It's served me well over the last 7 years in a daily professional setting. In the last 3 years, I've moved it to back up duty for my paid assignments and personal use duty to my 1Dx's.

I've always sent it in to CPS every quarter for a Clean and Check service (CMS). It's currently at CPS having a new shutter installed, new body plates, and battery door due to high mileage and wear. The mirror, sensor, and pentaprism are also being cleaned.

Included in the sale is:
- Canon 5D Mark III Body
- Original Box and Paperwork
- Original accessories including battery, charger, strap, cables, body cap, and eyepiece.
- CPS repair receipt for warranty use if needed.

This will be essentially a brand new 5D3, perfect for a main body for those on a smaller budget, a backup to a 5D4 user, or a sweet personal camera for those people like me who use 1D bodies.

The mirror, ...... are also being cleaned.......This will be essentially a brand new 5D3,.....

This line is extremely misleading If Canon doesn't replace the mirror box assembly along with the shutter. In fact, I bet they don't reset the shutter count. That mirror has moved up and down every time you clicked the shutter(when not in liveview). This is far from being 'essentially a brand new 5d3' that you are advertising it as.

Thanks for your feedback Matthew, but I never advertised the camera as “brand new” the title states “brand new shutter” and I said “the camera will be essentially brand new”.

Prospective buyers are welcome to view my 40ish feedbacks on POTN and 85 on Fred Miranda. As always you they can also talk to me directly through PM.

What was the actuation count prior to the shutter replacement?

Last record I have on the Shutter Count application is 166,xxx in 2017. I didn't check it before sending it in for repair, but my estimate is last accurate number was about 172,xxx.

From past experience with shutter replacements at CPS, the camera will come back with a reset count.

Still have this!
