There's an extra digit. The 5D is about $3-3.5k here.

You can't buy a 5D anymore.

The 5D Mark II is a 21 megapixel body and is now selling for just under $3K for body only.

No idea what that ad is about!

Leon,

The 5D was superceded by the 5D Mark II.

You can't buy new ones anymore.

It's the same with how the 50D superceded the 40D, and so on and so forth.
