Yep, things are moving towards the 5D MkII. The accountant came through with the dividend so I’ve got around \u00a31,200 use. Hopefully a \u00a3750 sale (\u00a3700 after fees) for the old 5D and another \u00a375-100 for the battery grip will push it up to \u00a32,000.<\/p>\n
Now I just need the 5D Mk II to fall in price during Focus 2010. I wasn’t sure about the discount I got when I bought my first 5D back in 2006, however using the Wayback Machine<\/a> I managed to check the Warehouse Express website from around the day. Was surprised to see that selling price was \u00a31899, I managed to get it for \u00a31749 so saving \u00a3150, which is a nice discount but not what I’m looking for now.<\/p>\n However at that time Canon offered a \u00a3100 cashback (I thought it was \u00a3150?) so the price was in my opinion artificially high (as with most Canon Promotions). So I reckon the discount was more like \u00a3250. \u00a3250 off the current RRP of \u00a31,700 would be most welcome. We’ll see, I’m not going to rush in this time (like I did with the 1D MkIII). <\/p>\n I’m also hoping the WFT-E4 II is offered at a discount, oh and some batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yep, things are moving towards the 5D MkII.
