Canon 1d mkiii camera (NLA)
 

1d mark 3 pro body camera. Good condition, a few wear and tear marks but not the usual bashed around press model as only used by two amateur photographers. I’m second owner and owned it 8 years. Battery charger, two batteries and front cap, I think I may still even have the box!
This is body only no lens and would make a very good back up camera or the start of using a pro body with EF lenses.
I will add some photos over the next few days if there’s any interest as I’m not at home at the moment, there’s a Flickr link to see some photos of what Iv’e taken with it. I’m upgrading to mirrorless and been offered £300 trade in so if anybody is interested then I will sell it for the same price. I’ve taken just under 10,000 shots over the last 8 years and I believe the shutter count can only be checked if sent for service but I don’t think it would be huge due to two amateur owners since new

Hi Mark,

Somebody will be getting a great camera body there. Built to withstand just about anything you can throw at them :}

It’s been an amazing piece of kit and having two memory cards has saved me embarrassment more than once when I’ve left one in the PC Card reader 😁

Hi Mark

£300 for trade-in is quite a good price. A couple of years ago, I sold all of my Nikon DSLR gear and went over to mirrorless at Olympus. Last year I upgraded this to a S/H Olympus EM1 Mark II which only had 1000 clicks on it.

What I like about the Olympus is how it is weatherproof, small and light, with 2 memory cards.

Personally, I find buying a new camera to be a very stressful affair, as there are so many on the market with advanced technology and features, then there is the decision whether to go full frame or not :)

All the best

I agree about how stressful it is buying a new camera, Ive been thinking of upgrading for a few weeks but it’s an incredibly expensive hobby. I could buy a car for what the new body is priced at.

I’ve had a few offers via other platforms and it seems that most people want things for next to nothing. This is a pro body with probably less than 25,000 actuations and so I’ve decided it’s no longer for sale. I’m hoping I don’t need a back up camera with the new purchase but this will be kept as a spare so I have the option of swapping cameras quickly rather than changing lenses using. The weather sealing on the 1d series is amazing so if I need to shoot in poor weather this is still an option with this body.
