5Dmk2 $3.3k with GST


Is it worth the wait for 5d3 and for 700++ more. How difficult/time consuming is it to incorporate what has been done on 7D to include a subset of it on 5D3 ?

Can I wait for about 1 year + pay 700 more for a more friendlier cam?

Why do you want a friendlier DSLR? I am hoping for more technical DSLR. Best is they remove all the electronics and just keep the sensor. Isn't DSLR about being technical shooter? If you want auto metering, auto aperture, auto white balance, auto focus, automatic everything....then the high end PnS have got them all already. Hey, they even have auto smile detection. I wonder WTF people need that for? ok, some auto are nice to have. But seriously I rather they focus on reducing DSLR weight by using new materials, focus on keeping tolerances variations to 0.001mm so that I can fit all MF lenses, create a standard mount for lens interoperability (much like the usb charger for handphones), have a dust proof sensor solution so I don't have to blow my sensor so often, have a better software suite for correcting all kind of bloody distortion and workflow so we don't need LR and PS. I think there are other things that will sell to me more than AFPs...

Yup SLR Revo's price is so far the best.. I called them in the afternoon and reserved a set, stocks scheduled to arrive next week.

Anyone wants to buy the kit lens? We share, price cheaper for both of us :thumbsup: PM me :)
 

This morning called Parisilk they still have stock (i am not getting yet, but any of you guys looking for it call them first before going down).
 

look on a bright...brighter side... at least i be helping to bring down the overall 2nd price for 5Dmk2

wah bro! u really 'die die want to bring the price down: even with ur B&s low baller thread 5d2 seller still able to sell at 3k or more n u still 'die die...lolz:sweatsm: no pund intended

i've been saving fr the 5d2 the day it came out & now the price is down: woohoo:lovegrin: im buying it fresh: bros who spoke out at the beauti of 5d2 :thumbsup: ur truly a photog. I am going to enjoy my 5d2...to the fullest 'that is;p

:vhappy:
 

Not only is this affecting the price of 2nd hand 5D Mk IIs, but it seems to me that it is also indirectly driving down the price of 2nd hand crop bodies (to fund for upgrade). My eyes open big big when i saw people WTB 2nd hand 500D at $650-700... some even at $400! :bigeyes:

really out to squeeze.... :sweat:

Does it mean after the old stock finish the new stock that they're bringing in will contain the new firmware?

What's the deal with the firmware, I see so many ppl asking. If don't have, can't you download fron Canon website and update on your own? Is it so difficult
 

which shops offer CC payments in installments?
cause my gf's dad is rather keen on getting the 5DMKII, after i told him of the price drop.

the 2-3% is just a surcharge right? its not included in the monthly installments?
cause i got my 24-70 from CP at 0% interest.
 

shouldnt this be updated in the canon pricelist thread? seriously, after pricelist thread has been locked, there has been only a few updates.

The way to get faster updates is to PM the mod who looks after that section, in this case it is cflee http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=55814.

If nobody informs him of new price info, the updates will take longer. You can't expect him to spend his life checking all the threads and all the shops, right? :)

that was exactly what i was saying. i was just suggesting that we shd update the pricelist by sending a PM to cflee (i cant do it since i dont have the exact quote price, maybe TS can do it). im not asking him to update by looking at this thread.

i usually do that when i find out there are price changes for my lens. so why not for the 5D2 as well. thats all im saying.

That's because they already factor in the interest in the price. If u do a check with other shops, they'll sell it about 2-5% cheaper. Its a capitalistic world- bizpeople make money, banks want to make more, but photographers pay...:bigeyes:
