p.1 #1 · Canon 5d2 deal advice

I have the chance to purchase a 5D2 for $1,400 as a backup to a 1Ds2 (I shoot almost entirely weddings). With the 5D3 vaporiously on the horizon, is it safe to think that the 5D2 will hold its value at least around $1,400 used for a while?

That is a pretty darned good price. If/when a 5DIII is released, I suspect stock will be low for many months and the MSRP will be a good bit higher than the Mark II when it released. I wouldn't hesitate to get it for your application. You might even end up making it your primary body instead of your 1Ds II

What's safe is to think that the 5d2 will continue to take awesome pictures for you even after the 5d3 is released. Obviously you're aware of that since you're not using the latest 1ds model

$1400 is a great deal.

$1400 is a fine price for a 5D2 in good shape.

That's the price range I've been waiting for

It takes longer than I thought

If any anyone is desperate enough to sell a 5dmk2 for that (assuming it is in good shape) I would leap at it.

Good price! and even with a expected 5d3 on the horizon (when?), I would not hesitate, for your purposes the 5d2 is just stellar.
