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.

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!

New toy has arrived, 1/4 mile in 11.2 sec and only 114hp!

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!
