Title: Canon 1d mark iin vs. mark iii Post by: camerabuff on March 17, 2009, 06:07:51 PM I'm thinking of getting either a used iin or iii to shoot sports photography and children (who are too young to sit still). Two questions: (1) what is the consensus on which of the two is better at autofocus in servo mode, outside? and (2) what is the going price for a used iin in very good condition, with somewhere in the 20k to 30k range? (I've seen some used ones advertised in the 1800-2100 range, which does seem rather pricey for a discontinued model; on the other hand, the used iiis seem to start closer to 3000.)

http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digital/canon_1D3_1Ds3_updates_2009.html For used prices I'd take a look on eBay (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5336246190&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=canon+EOS+1D&satitle=canon+EOS+1D) and see what they have sold for in completed auctions. That usually gives a pretty good idea of the used market prices. |
