Canon 5D price drops
$3300 to less than $3000 now at B&H plus, a $300 rebate.
I'm wondering if the D200 Nikon has taken a big piece of that market? Probably not, since $1200 or so still separates them and the imagery from the 5D is arguably better in most regards. But wasn't the 5D almost $3700 at introduction? $1000 worth of price drops/incentives is pretty decent. |

The 5d was either $3299 or $3499 at the start, had a friend who got one
of the first ones and I'm sure he didn't spend more than $3500. Tom |

Got mine the first week of availability at $3300, I never saw one priced at $3700US, unless there was someone on ebay trying to hook the unwary. $600 is still a pretty good drop... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

writes $3300 to less than $3000 now at B&H plus, a $300 rebate. I'm wondering if the D200 Nikon has taken a big piece of that market? Probably not, since $1200 or so still separates them and the imagery from the 5D is arguably better in most regards. But wasn't the 5D almost $3700 at introduction? Supply and demand. They were priced high when they were in short supply. I got mine back in November when they started to become more available and don't think I would get a better price now, even with the rebate. I did get a very good price at the time though. -- Kennedy Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ****ed.

Canon 5D price drops
Canon has one of the shortest "new" product marketing cycles of any vendor
out there. Price drops in the Canon line often signal the end of a product life-cycle. Not to worry: if Canon follows its usual practice there will be a newer and "better" 5D which, like many "new" Canon products is mostly a new box and a tweak to the software interface. The constant appearance of seemingly "new" products boosts the image of Canon as a relentless innovator, and they have brought some innovative products to market, but most of their product line is recycled and evolutionary, rather than innovative. That being said I would still get a 5d if I could find a way to use it with my closet full of Nikon lenses. |
