Still a pretty large premium over the current model. cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

I got mine new for 1950 (B&H) when our dollar was 1:1 with the USD. so prices haven't changed a great deal me thinks. Once the Mk2s are in the market the price will surely drop on the second hand MK1s but i don't think it will be a huge drop. Justin

To me that seems irrelevant. At first release the MkI was a flagship product that filled a niche. A high inital price is to be expected. The MkII is a replacement for an existing product. I don't see any reason to make it 50% more expensive than the previous model unless it comes with some major technological improvements. Dan

Well for one it's sales aren't being bolstered by rebates from Canon to dealers. That will play a big part in the price of the old product and the new. ALEXANDER GARDNER

There's the fancy part of photoshoots that, frankly, gets too much press. Because real photoshoots and films are made in the trenches. Might be an epic and cinematic image looking through the camera, but more often than not you're standing next to a freeway composing the shot with snot running outta your face, the models is standing on platform painted to look like the background because they're too short for the set, and the PA is running the wind machine which is really a lawn-mower that uses a fan blade instead of a grass cutter. Not pretty. Very real, but far from glamorous. Sometimes I call this the outside-looking-in-view the Black Box of Photography. That's the pretty name. More often, though, I call it 'making sausage'. As in, it tastes good when it's done, but you certainly would lose your appetite for the stuff if you watched it being made. cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)
