Almost bought a 1DsM3 today...but..

chobit

I went to a local (Seattle) camera shop today..!  Brought in my 1DsM2 and the box.. etc..!  I was going to buy the 1DsM3 as a way to support local dealer.., but what an insult..!  My nearly perfect camera trade in value is only $25xx..!

Well.. I end up didn't buy it.., maybe I'll sell my camera first...!

what's the going price?  about 3500 on ebay?

so the shop needs to make a few hundred dollars...so sounds about right?

chobit

I think the real going price is more like $4K, espeically through craiglist..!

honestly, I think 4k is really pushing it, unless you have a like new and low count body...nobody bid on a 4k 1dsII that I can see on ebay right now

and it's about 3.6k on CL http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pho/754472054.html

just for your ref

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 ..

Thanks guys.. I think I will keep my 1DsM2 then...!  Think I may resume my original plan to wait for D3x or something as a hobby camera

I am glad I miss my local deal, then I miss my chance of buying the camera at Portland, since no one has it in stock..!  I end up buying it for $1K less...! =P  I am sure the price would continue to go down.. but it works for me..!

Here is my SLR Family photo before I sell one of them..!

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 !

I bought it at a place called buydig.com , came across it throught pricegrabber, then I did a search on dpreview, then buy it.

It looks like their price went back up to regular price.
