This is really tumbling now. I think there has been around 4 price drops in the last week on the 5D Mark II. Now it is at $1999 for the first time. That is cheaper than some 2nd hand bodies on eBay.

I guess it would be worth it if you needed an extra body.

I'll be making  purchase next year. I don't see the point in buying now, when superior tech is already out, or just around the corner.

At some point this is going to be very tempting. The 5D is a phenomenal camera and it would be lovely to have access to it's amazing stills performance and low light video . Trouble is that would mean entering the world of Canon lenses and that's a sure fire way to empty the bank balance if you know what I mean

I wish Vitaly could find a way to solve this crazy shadows locking issue in the compression...You really have no shoulder to work on in editing. Last night i was shooting in a Theatre, and i had to be very careful not to blow the higlights on actor's faces and white dresses, so i got very dark shadows in the background. I was using Nostalgic mode zeroed, but as i tried to open up a tad the shadows, it looked terrible.
