Thanks for the reply. So the generalconsensusis that this is a good deal. Everything is about 5 years old from the talking to the seller. The reason I'm interested in the 1Ds MKII is that if my initial cost of acquiring the 1Ds MKII is around the $1000, I probably won't lose too much money selling it down the road.


From the raw file the seller sent me, the shutter actuation is less than 6000, so the 1Ds hasn't been used all that much. I'm now more confident buying this set, thanks everyone.


One more question, the other reason I'm buying a FF is I'm looking for shallower DOF when shooting outdoor portraits. Is this a good reason to buy FF vs the T2i I already have? Thanks.
