Shows after tax/shipping price. Not sure how hot this is myself though.

The price drop must be due to yesterday's announcement of upcoming Canon 6D. I think all the stores will try to dump 5D MkII now, to avoid competition between 5D II and 6D.

My guess is that the 5D2 is going to be phased out and discontinued by December to make way for the 6D's launch which should hit around then.

I just sold mine used for 1550 2 days ago.

Used prices have been dropping steadily for the past year, especially after the announcement of the 5D3. When I purchased it last December it was still 2200+tax at most places, 2000+tax on sale. The used market price was around 1900.

Now it seems to hover around 1600 used. Hopefully it drops a little more by the time I can afford another :D

You know the great thing about the intense competition between Nikon, Canon and Sony for market share is the dramatic price drops. Not only that but forcing them to create more options FF options like the 6D or the d600. Putting great tech in the hands of many is so awesome, I could never do what I do 10 years ago I'd have to sell my condo to get the same level of comparable equipment.

I need to pick up 2 of these in the near future (under 60 days)... should I be buying new? used? What would be a good "buy now" price if I can find them used? 1400?
