Should I get the 5D MK I for $999?

It's on clearance and it's brand new. It's sort of outdated so I'm on the fence. I already have an XSi.

for 1000 i don't think you can go wrong...

yes, for sure. But you won't be able to use either of your lenses with it.

(You could use the Tamron but it will vignette really bad at the wide end.)

Wow, that is really cheap. Even after the MKII becomes available, I don't think you can find it at such a price! Where did you find it at that price?

5D 'brand new' for $999? What's the catch. There's gotta be one..

for $1kUSD yes defo - but beware, that price sounds too good to be true.....

Yeah probably a scam, is it one of those websites that scam everyone? Please don't fall for it!

Check resellerratings.com and check the dealer if it's online.

1k for a brand new 5D? Make sure to check it out thoroughly - and hope you don't leave with just an empty 5D box and $1000 dollars lighter.

I'm very skeptical. $1K sounds too good to be true for a brand new 5D. Check out the seller and make sure it isn't a scam.

smells fishy

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis? Ain't no legit 5D gon' sell fo' $999 new!

If you can seriously get one for 1K... do it. outdated? well it's old... but it's still capable of taking better photos than most of the current slr's out there today so I don't know if I'd call it outdated.

I think I saw the 5D listed here:

LOL!!!! couldn't resist. Thats where I got my "nasa" reflector.

Seriously $999 sounds literally a "steal"

I would get it for 1k if it were a trusted source. Just a few months ago it was $2.2k retail...
