Canon 5D Mark III (body only) for $2975 at Amazon - The DIS Discussion Forums

BirdsOfPreyDave · 02-01-2013, 05:00 PM

If you're in the market for a 5D Mark III, now's the time to pull the trigger. I was just doing my periodic drooling over them online, and couldn't believe the price. I thought for sure it must be used or refurbished. Nope. New, direct from Amazon, Amazon Prime eligible. $2975

So much for that tax refund check, and I haven't even done the taxes yet.

I really want to go full frame but I want to buy the 24-70 2.8 II first to offset the cost. At least I can still get good money for my 17-50 2.8 to help find the lens.

It was cheaper. Several places (including B&H) had the body for around $2800 and with the 24-105 for like $3400. But the rebates that got it that cheap ended yesterday.

Go for it

. You won't regret it. The higher ISO capabilities and improved autofocus are very nice.
