As finally the 5D Mark II is out, will the price of 5D will drop or Canon has already stopped its sale?

How much difference will be for the used ones now?

I predict it will remain on the shelves for a long time, just like the 30/40D were not discontinued after the 40/50D release or the 350/400D were not discontinued after the 400/450D release. I see it priced around 1600-1700E/$ after the 5D2 makes it's way to the shelves.

Really? Dont think Canon would price it only a few hundred more than a 50D. I am thinking $1950 or so will be about the lowest.

If the 5D isn't discontinued, I agree. $1900 maybe. $1800 would be pushing it. I don't see it going lower than that if it stays on the market.
