Yeah bought used shuttercount ard 32k but what the heck it's still clicking

Haha...just enjoy the camera!

 

[Snoweagle]

wah low usage.

I only take whatever's necessary, perhaps already too accustomed from the film days.

AF i understand. ISO performance that bad eh? i've never used Nikon.

kinda, the noises in the shadow areas aren't that good.. i often use above 3.2k, hunting was quite inconsistent, or taking too long to focus in low light places..

I really miss this camera. I have never felt happy over the past 1 year since selling my condition 10 set. The 7D is a great camera, but just not my cup of tea.

If things goes smoothly, I will be back with the 5D tomorrow.

Wish me luck guys

Haha too late bro, it was sold this afternoon to a nice couple.

I was looking back at my pictures taken with both the 7D and 5D over the past month. I just love those with the 5D more. And frankly, I have not even used the video function once on the 7D over the past year.

Now I hope that the set I am going to buy has no problem

Haha alright. Gd luck

Nostalgia reigns. For me my 5D is a keeper.

Just hope that my 5D can still last a couple of years more.

At the rate u are "abusing" it, another 5-10 years is very possible

Cos now take a lot less pics than before so mostly inside the dry cabinet. It's been with me since mid 2007 so hope can last me until at least 2014.

Could be that person in need of some money so ask to trade plus a top up.

hi. I'm the one selling it .... Please enlighten me, if i don't make videos and if it don't make big prints ( larger than A4), will there be a big difference between them? I can buy a good lens for the price difference

people find it interesting that u selling a newer model to get a older model cause most people will upgrade to newer one and they don't even print on 4R, just purely post in the web.

i own 5D b4 but 'downgrade' to 7D. Used to need to print at least 8R very very often but not anymore.

Actually I've made 36x24 inch prints form the 5D before so 12mp is more than enough most of the time

if u dun need video and large prints, 5D classic is fine.

Nice choice buddy, the price difference can be used to fund a couple of lenses (Normal ones) or a L lens.

That said, I think not easy to sell the MKII now at the price. Wish you luck
