I'm with you Jake. Do some hands on testing at NAB, then see if I can justify the money for the upgrade.
Technology will get better and the 'next best thing' will always be the most expensive. I paid $2800 for my Mark II also. Hopefully we can sell them for at least $1800..but I guess we will see.
Anyone want to buy a Mark II ???? :-)

I would not offer over a grand for used MarkII's - there is so much more to come I am sure. We will see at NAB I would guess.

Some of the most amazing photos (not mine) have come from the 5D Mark II, I cannot wait to see the upgraded version. I actually laughed when I heard how much a friend paid for one over the T2i and 7D, then I saw the results. It was in another league for sure.
* Have not seen video on it first hand though.

Don't devalue the MKII too fast or too much. I bought mine over a year after it was released. I then sold my old photo only 5D for $1,200 just a year ago. With the MKIII price, used MKII's will still sell well for $1,500-1,800.

So has anyone pre-ordered yet? Almost but probably wait til NAB.

Will P5 help categorize difference in camera section between MKII and MKIII by standardizing how the cameras are listed?? Currently artists list the MKII many different ways making a search for a particular camera difficult at best.

They havent standardized any other camera so not sure why they would.

Official price of 5DM2's has dropped $300. Probably won't effect the used market much, I'm still seeing most priced at $1500 to $1800 for body only.

I'm excited for it. There will always be better coming out, but looking at it more now I think it would be worth the $1700 'rental' fee :-). The features it fixes/adds are worth that cost. I'm really excited about the lower compression codec possibilities.
