Was going to make my own thread, but this seems slightly on topic for my query.... i bought a 5DII roughly 10 years ago and didn't expect to upgrade body in that time and instead spend on a couple of lenses as they seemed a better investment. When it's not the pandemic, I do some gig photography so low light performance important and at the time, i was moving from using a 350d and a 40d so the 5DII was a huge improvement, but I'm starting to feel now that it might be time to move up a bit in the body stakes (for when i eventually get back to gig shooting....)
I thought enough time would have passed that a 5DIV might be affordable, but looking on
MPB etc, it seems they are still pushing the £1.5k for one in good condition, and still £1k for one they consider 'heavily used' so I was a bit surprised. Going for a 5DIII is more affordable (esp if i trade in) but I'm not sure if the low light performance is worth spending out the moola just for that. I've done some googling but still unsure on that.
By this thread, are we expecting 5DIV to hold this value for some time?
I might be able to get £300-400 for my 5DII, dunno what the SC is, but i unfort picked up a couple of scratches on the LCD on my recent trip to Iceland and didn't have screen protector so this might affect that price....
Also, i am using standalone LR6 (so it won't be having any updates - is the 5DIV raw already in LR6 as if it's not then that would be a reason not get it.... - and no i don't want to move to another piece of software so that's not a solution, hence the question
)
will start a seperate thread if this is deemed too off topic!
