The price for 1Ds II on ebay .. is going for around $3500 ja ..

But yes .. if in Crsiglist ..  ( in Canada ) is going for  just under ~ $4000 ..

I saw 3 of them in local camera store .. going for $4,xxx .. but I think that is a bit too much ..  sigh ..  

If you are going to sell it for $2,xxx ..  let us know first wor ..     even $3,000 ..  still good price, not bad to get it as back up/or main body ..

However, after more and more review I have seen, the IQ between 1DS II and 1Ds III are very small ..  however, for feature, function, battery life, and LCD size etc .. the 1DSIII is much better ..  but does it worth for $5K  

Of course, it depends how much you are willing to spend, and what other bodies you have ...  for $8.5K, I rather keep a 1DsII  for serious shooting ..  and a 1DIII for outdoor/daily shooting ..   

Um .. just IMO ..

Oh ..  $1K less ? so .. ~ $6K US ? please let us know where ..   

And let us know if u want to sell your 1DSII  .. sometime ..

So far, most review I have read, the IQ for 1DSII and 1DsIII are not much different ..  ( 1DsII is already damn good .. 17 mb is more then enough .. ) but for sure, 1dsIII offer more new feature, and slightly better AWB / noise .  

Please share your experience !

Oh yeah ...

I used to buy camera gears from them, but their price is like ' sea food " price ..  but they usually offer the lowest price, and the are reliable ..

However, since 2 yrs ago ..   they DONT WANT to deal with Canadian ...

You know ..  at the end of the day ..  they are all stu_id american ...

Um ..  possible problem for you now ..  

The CONTROL for the 1DSIII and 1DSII are TOTALLY different!! their setting..  etc .. so it would be quite difficult for you, if you use the 1DSIII for wedding, and use the 1DSII as back up ..  just when you interchange lens, then when u want to adjust something on the 1DSIII ( which is good and smart ) and then you want to adjust something on the 1DSII ..  very different !!

I know you also using Nikon and Canon 2 system, howeverm at least you "EXPECT" Nikon body and Canon bodies are so different to use .. but between DsII and DsIII ..  they look so similar .. and you expect they are simailer .. but their control menu ..  just day and nite!!
