I bought a new 5D MkII recently off eBay and couldn't be happier. At a little over $2000 I thought I would carry the warranty myself even though the vendor offers a three year warranty i.e. sent back to Melbourne. Having owned a 300D, 350D (both sold), 400D (given to my son) and 450D (currently a backup and general use camera) the next logical step was the 5D MKII for AI with my refractors. I have to add that not one of the Canons has ever given the slightest bit of trouble in the past and hopefully my latest purchase will follow suit.
The 5D looks huge in comparison to the 450D but feels perfectly balanced and is a delight to use. I have bought a couple of second hand EF lenses (I didn't realise thet the EF-S lenses from my previous Canons don't fit the 5D) to get familiar with the 5D so as not to outlay a whole lot of money on new ones. I did buy a flash (again thinking that the 5D came with a flash), a Canon 580EX II, again off eBay and at a substantial saving over local vendors.
