If you want something custom built but don't fancy undertaking the work yourself (although it is fun and satisfying :)) then check out www.pcspecialist.co.uk.

Thanks John, that does help. Not sure what you mean by 'in sex' though. I'll drop my price to around £375 I think as cosmetically it has a lot of signs of use, although it works perfectly.

What is the going price for a second hand 5D Mk 1 body these days? I've listed mine at £450 but now I'm wondering if that's a bit high. Any thoughts?

I'm looking at getting into this. I've just purchased a Konova K2 Slider, the 80cm one, which I plan to use for a few video projects I have planned. They also sell two types of motor for motion control, the basic one (which doesn't have an intervalometer built in, meaning longer exposure time...

I just thought I'd update this, I found the serial number within the EXIF data, sent it off for repair and Canon fixed it and cleaned it for free :)

Sorry, what is DPP?

I've just tried EOSInfo and it says the serial number is '0'. Do I own the original 5D or something :p How can I get it from the EXIF of an image?

Off topic, but are you a Pink Floyd fan?

I've just realised that I should probably just check the EXIF for the serial number. I'll do this and register for CPS so I can get it repaired :) I imagine Canon will tell me if it's stolen when I send it for repair. That would be interesting, ha!

I bought it second hand from auction a few years ago. Good point about the base plate thing, I imagine I will need to call Canon.

Hi all, My Canon 5D broke at the last wedding I did; the mirror came loose and has now smashed into pieces so I need to send it off for repair. I am eligible for Canon CPS, but I haven't yet registered everything. In doing so I've discovered that my Canon 5D has no serial number...

Ooops, forgot to post yesterday. Ken PMd me his surname and they were posted yesterday, should be with him before 1pm. Thanks again for organising this, very much appreciated :) :thumbs:

Unfortunately not, and you've just reminded me I've packaged the box up without making a new copy :bonk: I'll do another copy before posting to Ken.

Hi all, I realised when I went to package and post the DVDs yesterday that I didn't have Ken's surname. I PMd him yesterday but haven't yet had a response. I'll post the DVDs as soon as I have his full name.

Oh really? Ok I'll check when I'm home and I'll make another copy if I can't find it.
