the prive of the original 5D has dramticaly went down. ive seen them going for around 800-900 a body. i am planning to upgrade but i dont know. my budget is 3500. I do not have any lenses build up so if iwere to get mkII i would only be able to get something like the kit lens (24-105 4L). if i get mkI i can get like a sigma 70-200 2.8 and 24-70 2.8 which is almost a whole 2.8 trinity (10-24 24-70 and 70-200) but then again i can go for the mkii and make money through the kit lens and buy better and faster glass later on. my plan is to stick with one of the cams for 5 years and upgrade after so mkii will have more value if i sell it. just wondering so i can get one becore christmas holidays. thanks

The "Kit" lens (24-105 mm L) is hardly what is considered a cheapo lens ( http://www.amazon.com/Canon-24-105mm-USM-Lens-Cameras/dp/B000AZ57M6 ). It is generally > $1,000.
The 10-24 mm lens does not work with it. There isn't one for Canon. Nikon makes one, but it's for cropped sensor only.
What do you mean, make money with it? Are you buying the camera / lens as an investment and hope to make money when you sell it? Don't take this the wrong way--if you mean to take photos and make money from that, you're not ready yet.

Sorry--didn't really answer your question. You will find that the original 5D is a fine camera. And at 12 MP files that it gives you, you can blow it up to a poster sized print, like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2501007156/ (This one was enlarged to 20 x 30 inch print and it looked fine).
This is from mark II http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/5237074902/
These cameras are hardly for sport photos if you're aiming to shoot ten frames per second. It's more or less for studio work.

canon camcorder lens on 5d mark ii?
Cecilia
i love the quality of the hd movie on the 5d mark ii but the photo lenses aren't right for videos at all.
i don't want to buy a lens and have it not fit so does anybody know if it will? if not what movie lens would? thanks!
Answer
The EOS 5D Mark II uses a full-frame 24x36mm CMOS sensor for all the images it produces, whether they are still photos or movies. This sensor is approximately 10 to 20 times the size of the image sensors used in most HD camcorders regardless of cost. This sensor size difference means that for any given combination of aperture value, subject distance and angle of view, images from the EOS 5D Mark II are going to have much shallower depth of field than images from a conventional HD device. The situation is somewhat similar to the comparison of an 8 x 10 format view camera to a 35mm SLR.
This difference in the look of movies created by the EOS 5D Mark II is part of the reason why this camera is embraced by creative professionals. Together with the wide selection of interchangeable EF lenses, the relatively large imaging format of the EOS 5D Mark II creates a look that cannot be duplicated by any other movie capture device on the market today.
