I love my 5d Mk2, but might be getting a job where I'll need to do some sports photog, and would like to get a 1D Mk III. Thing is, before I get the job, I'll have to go used.

I'm trying to get a feel for the market right now, but can't find a consensual price on one of these. How much does a good condition 1d MK III go for these days?

A quick search of the For Sell forum and $2,800- $3,000 looks like the going price.

do not pay more than a new 5D mark II. The problem is the glass for sports you need high shutterspeeds so you need 2.8 also and the 400 mm will kill your VISA


1D3 - 24-70mm 2,8 - 85mm 1.2 - 300mm 2,8 IS wow

2200-2800 regardless of serial number.

check out adorama, they had a used on for around 2200, use the live.com cashback shopping search and get an additional 3 percent.
