I'm starting to have a itch for this camera. Although I love my 5D very much I want to add the latest and great FF 5Dmk2 to the family. But as of right now i just can't see myself spenting around $2700 plus tax for a FF camera. (I'm poor:() When do you guys think the 5D will drop below $2000?

The release of the MKII didn't do too much for the price of the 5D used or new.

Oh yes it did, it caused the price of the MKI to bounce low significantly (like in the $900-1100 usd range), then slowly bounce up a bit the other way after the "newness" of the MKII wore off.

That $900 to $1100 low was unfortunately missed by yours truly! I can be an aggressive shopper but after seeing the features difference between the 5D and 5DMKII, I didn't try too hard. I just decided to buy a 40D to hold me until the MKII comes down.

I think we will see new 1D Mark IV and 60D introduced first before the 5D Mark II will be available that cheap. What can happen though is $200 drop in next couple of months and than maybe 5D Mark II will be available in Fall rebates for another $100 less. This will bring the price close to the $2000 but not under...
