-=1D Mk II and Mk IIn Owners Unite!

Must get one... L, L IS or L IS II is the question...

----> get the L IS, its a GREAT lens without spending the extra $$$ right now (unless you can) and if you don't like the IS.... turn it off

Just saw one go up yesterday for almost $100 cheaper than I'm buying mine with about 9K actuations less...oh well. seems like the 1D2 prices are dropping hard...

And it's still a great camera...that is what is killing me! I think too many people get "Mark IV-itis" and have to get the newest and latest body out there. I love the 1D2! I don't see any need to get a new body any time soon.

for Sub $1K (shoot the one I saw was $775 with 2 batteries) it's an amazing camera and a steal considering people are trying to sell 40D's for $600. Not just the 1DmkIV but I suspect the 7D has some play in this too :P

**EDIT**

LOL just took a peek at the BST, someone is trying to sell a gripped 40D for $800

Having 1D2 prices go down is good for those of us buying into a 1D system. Now if only some of that L glass would go down as well.

If everyone had the red ring, it wouldn't be as cool

but I hear you....it's a terrible addiction that L glass!

yeah, i'm wondering if I should buy second 1D right now or wait till they level off a little bit, but then i'm wondering if i'll still find any with such low shutter counts on them and great conditions....

Its hard to see some going for $775 price you mentioned (if same one I'm thinking of, it was a little rough looking, but i'm sure it's still a good camera (sold already correct? ) ) And other's still seem to be asking for $950-$1100 for a 1DMk2 and i recently seen a 2N on local CL asking $1700 I wonder if he knows their up to a 1D Mk4 now....

nope, it's one I saw that looked clean. IDK about the rules here, but I know on other forums, they don't like us posting links to BST....if it's cool here I'll link you. it's not from the guy that was selling the 2 beat up 1Ds

The one i'm looking at locally (and on FM) is asking $950 with 4 batteries, and 27,318 shots.... But she hasn't emailed me back since i said I've got the money and want to come look at it... seems a little odd to me, she answers all my questions until I say i have money, now nothing maybe she realized I was going to try and talk her down another $100

Tim,
That price seems fair, but not overly cheap. I gave $415 for an "ugly" 1D2 about a year ago. It had no battery or charger though.

haha Tim, I just sent you a PM but wrote Time instead of Tim...my bad haha

George - I agree the price seems fair, but it never hurts to try and get it cheaper, lol.

tnguyen - thanks again for the help there, Ill check into that just as soon as i get home tonight ! sure wish these work computers weren't locked up so tight, I'm really suprised I can get onto here, lol.

I'm going to put mine up for sale tonight, it's been a fun run in this thread!

I'm thinking it's got 27k on it, couple of small marks above the body opening, but otherwise excellent and has served me well!

are you upgrading/downgrading or just gettin out of the game altogether?
