Assuming that it is in good conditions of course.

Have anyone tested it? It is lower price than a new 5DII.

it has really crappy user interface and it only shoots 3200 iso, and will have alot more noise than 5d mkII @ 3200. you could get used 5d mkII in good condition for that price.

dunno about price, i saw one sold on finnish forums for 1.3k, but it had over 130k shutter count. there is one in a camera store and it costs around 1.8k there, but only shot around 10k. comparing these two prices(and considering that cameras are more expensive at shops than from people), i think 1.5k could be ok price for it(or maybe 1.4k would be more fair, dunno) if its in really good condition and really low shutter count. but imo its not worth it unless you use it in studio only

Well, the guy from the site Pebble Place told me that 1DS2 has much better as, colours, viewfinder, etc.
Here used 5DII are more expansive and on 1D series I can use old contax lenses with no mirror problems.

Will see, anyway ty for price indication.

With today's exchange rate and going by prices in the US, you shouldn't be paying more than 1250 Euros for a 1ds2. They go used for around $1650 with low actuations.
