The price of 1D3\'s has been dropping for some time, which is great if your buying and not so good if your selling. Two main issues on the 1D3 as far a valuation are relative condition of the the body and where the camera is in relation to it\'s presumed end of life on the shutter. Autofocus/mirror box issues don\'t count as Canon will service these at no charge here in the US (presume Canada also) even for used cameras. Recent low shutter count 1D3\'s ( between 2000-30000 clicks) can be had for $2100-2300. In the last 6 weeks I have bought 2 at an average of $2150, one with 3000 clicks, one with 8800, both Canon verified. If you were to find a well kept body with much higher clicks I would value it at those numbers less the cost of shutter, about $300.
