bill_dewberry Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm starting to see used 5D bodies for sale, usual price is $ 1,700 to $ 1,900, which seems high to me; Amazon sells new for $ 2,200, seems wiser to pay an extra $ 500 for new; at what price does a used 5D make sense ?

PuppyDigs Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Mint? Beater? 50,000 shutter cycles or 1000? Price is all about condition coupled with supply and demand. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 "seems wiser to pay an extra $ 500 for new" I loved my 5D (favorite camera ever). If you have the money, the MKII is a much wiser choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Taylor Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 They are going to be going for nothing pretty soon. Once the new one drops, I can't see anyone paying more than $1200 for a used one. I have 3 so I'll probably sell one to help finance a MK2. (I paid $1950 for a new 5D after the rebate.)

DickArnold Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Joseph. Spare the pedantry. I am interested and looking also. I see the market for a 5d in decent shape with a good amount of life left on it currently at about fifteen hundred dollars or with bargaining a little less.. I will become more interested when it hovers under $999. There are a lot of wonderful features on the Mark II but I am interested a full frame camera to mount my 17-40 f4lL on while using my crop bodies for other stuff. As I have L lenses and do not want to buy EF-s lenses for wide angle. The body at that price would be better than purchsaing an EF-S to me. .

aaron_lam Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I don't think the 5D will ever go for NOTHING. Ha. That would be great.<p> I have been tracking the prices too and see 7-8+ models going for $1200, 8-9+ models going for $1400, 10+ models going for $1500-$1600. There was one model on eBay that got away for $1000... in decent condition. <p> I actually doubt the camera will ever drop much below $1000. $1K seems like where a used 5D will sit for a long time... that is just my guess. Even the 4 year old 10D is still getting $300. <p> good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
