Anyone selling a 1dMK1?

[agent006]

Could do with getting my grubby mits on one fairly sharpish.

If only you'd asked a couple of months back, you could of had mine. I do have a 1DS II for sale but i suspect thats a bit overkill for you

Already spotted yours in the classifieds! Going to a friend's wedding on friday and my D30 seems to have forgotten how to focus, do my 1d upgrade is being brought forward rather quickly.

I used my old 1D to do the odd wedding, superb choice There dont seem to be too many about currently on the s/hand market. Couple on Ebay the last time i looked at around the £500 mark. I got £700 for mine when i sold it....

Good luck with the wedding....

That has to be the weakest excuse for spunking a load of cash on a new bit of kit ever.

I salute you, Sir

Nice camera. I know what you are getting at but this bit usually makes me laugh in adverts:-

"...has seen no professional use"

Serious amateurs can rattle of thousands of frames at a track or airshow events week in week out. Might have been different in the days of film but not now with digital.

Know what you mean...lol. Most ex Pro camera's I've seen are covered in dents, scratches and have lost lots of paintwork. Then again most of them dont have to pay for the camera as they are gifted by Canon or are bought by a company.

You're right in that no matter who you are you can reel off thousands of frames. Its the difference between someone who uses it do do a job and when it breaks they get given another one, and someone like myself who's saved up for and bought one for personal use.

Thanks for the link. I missed it in my haste. Will get round to buying one, but as I can borrow one from work I'm not in a hurry. Also, and I might of missed this if its been mentioned here before but will there be a new version out soon?
Bought a Ricoh GX 100 today. Something to keep on me at all times. Off to Verbier sat for a week so will post some results.

Thanks G

There have been rumours flying round for a long time about a DS replacement. I dont think Canon are in a particular hurry to replace it as there is still nothing on the market that can touch it.

Sometimes Canon announce new camera's in September but i'd be very suprised if something is out this year. I would think next year is more likely if anything. After all, the current hype is still very much about the 1D MKIII and i doubt Canon would want to loose sales of that in announcing a DS replacement so soon after its launch.
