Can anybody tell me the difference between a 5D, MKII, MKIII
 

Hi All,

Can anybody tell me if there are any cons on buying a low <6000 Shutter Count 5D, not a MKII, or III Just a 5D?

Cheers

Dan, no MkIII for the 5D yet....but plenty of rumours about it coming out 'soon'.....but its been coming out for quite a while now :)

I guess main features between the 5D (classic) and 5DMk2 are improved sensor/noise handling and HD Video on the Mk2. Higher MP/image size on the Mk2 but thats not really an issue as I'm sure the quality of the 5D classic is still fine....so if you are not fussed about video I would say no serious cons on a 5D if you are getting it for a good price!

I guess buying a 5D classic now is getting a little bit dated, but full frame (which they both are) is a great step up. I havent used a 5D classic but I absolutely LOVE my 5DMk2!

What prices are you looking at on the s/hand stuff. Feel free to PM me if you cant be arsed posting in the thread.

Cheers Karl.

I can get it for less than $300, which I think is a fairly OK deal for the shutter count.

Fuck yes! I wouldn't hesitate at that price!

If you don't get it, I'll take it! :P
I could use a second body for some wedding work.

i'd give you $500 for it.. got rid of my last DSLR and now have nothing.. massive regret!

haha, I was going to seagull it too. Fuckers :)

I'll give you $501 for it!!!

I just researched this also before buying my 5D Mk2, and another feature the 5D (classic) doesn't have is Live View if I remember correctly - something I use a fair bit.

But at that price you shouldn't hesitate, as mentioned!

I was too fucking slow!!!!!! Dammit!

Thanks anyway all, back to saving for a new(ish) 5D MKII

Fek, that would have been a good price.

You'd be looking around the $2-2.5k mark for a 5dmk2 I'd think.

Yep, will keep saving!

I have 5d classic, good work horse, but I will be upgrading soon. (I will be keeping it though)

12mp vs 21mp
2.5" LCD vs 3" LCD
No Video
No Live View
Slower fps
No Macro Focus Adjust
Lower ISO Sensitivity

If you can get one cheap definitely a good buy. Mines kicking on a bit, has a few problems so I'd prefer to keep than sell.

$502.....ohh sold, DOH!
