For Sale: my Canon 1D Mark II N camera body
Canon 1D Mark II N body and accessories for sale - two chargers, two batteries, original (un-used) strap, and AC power adapter
I have decided it is finally time to say goodbye to a good friend, my Canon 1D Mark II N camera body. I purchased this camera new in the summer of 2007; it was one of the last on the shelves of Adorama as the 1D Mark III had just been released. This camera has been with me to a number of places across the country, as well as to Kenya and the Galapagos Islands.
In total, there have been 82,436 shutter actuations according to 1D Count; the shutter is rated over 200,000 exposures. In January, I sent the body to Canon for a “clean and check” and they replaced the hot shoe, adjusted its shutter speed, exposure, and focusing systems, and otherwise brought the camera back up to factory settings. Since then, I’ve photographed one basketball game, and then put the camera away, waiting for the right time to sell it. I believe that time to be now.
Cosmetically, the camera does show signs of wear (see photos below), including a few scratches on the top of the body, along the prism. There’s also some worn paint near the top shutter button, and a small scratch on the bottom of the body, on the back-right corner.
I am selling the camera body, original box, original charger, original AC adapter, original strap (never used–I used my own strap), and an original Canon NiMH battery. I am also including a Camera Devices-brand NiMH battery (which is actually of higher-capacity than the OEM battery), and a Camera Devices-brand wall charger. This is the charger I actually used the most with this camera, as it was much smaller than the bulky Canon-branded charger.
I am asking $1,400.00 US Dollars for the kit, and that includes FedEx Ground shipping within the United States.
I would prefer to keep the sale limited to North America–I’m sorry, but I had a bad experience selling overseas when I sold my Canon 5D. Please e-mail me or leave a comment (I will not publish it to keep your privacy) if you are interested in the camera.
A cashier’s check would be preferable, although I will also accept personal checks. I will wait until the check clears before shipping the camera. Alternatively, if you are willing to pay the extra 3% that they charge, I will accept PayPal money transfers provided that the address on your PayPal account matches the shipping address you ask me to deliver to.
If the camera doesn’t sell within the next two weeks, I will list it on eBay. I’ll post a link to the auction should I do that.
Thanks for looking and feel free to e-mail me with any questions you might have!
