Best deal on a 5D Mark II?

[GaryMc]

I'm hunting around for a new or gently used Canon 5D Mark II and was wondering if y'all had any stores online that are not well known or don't rank high on Google.

Thanks-

Gary Mc

you can always find gray market stores online but do you really want to buy gray market products? Lens wise it is not as big a deal but camera wise, that warranty is kinda a good thing to have.

There are so many shady online camera stores. I stick to well established reputable online stores like B&H or Adorama. They have great market value prices and customer support.

You might find a way to save 10% somewhere, but it might cost you a lot more than that, if you need any type of repairs done.

A good, used , non-grey market body will be the way to go, to save money. B&H has a great used section on their website.

I have bought several high dollar items (used) from Samy's Camera in LA. Its a really good shop with a large used market. You might have to call them though, as I don't think they list the used inventory online. It's a professional grade store, and quite trustworthy. http://www.samys.com/

I'd look at POTN Buy/Sell Thread. I buy 90% of my stuff on there and have yet to be burned or scammed...Plus I save thousands since it's used

Adorama has Canon factory refurbished 5D mkll for $2199.95

but you have to act fast... the refurbished 5D mkll's always seem to sell out really fast.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm looking through your suggestions.

Just putting this out there. If you're looking to get the 5D and already have your own lenses, I'd be happy to take the kit lens (24-105 f4L) off your hands for the price difference. Its included in the kit for a discounted price. So if you're in the market; that's the lens I want. Just keep me in mind, please
