So what...?

A bit of a strange combo: a cinema body with a stills flash and a fast (non-sports) telezoom.

What are you going to shoot with this combo?

I'd only really question the flash..
If you're using this for stills (the flash certainly does imply this), why not just buy a 1Dx?

The EOS-1D C was won on eBay for only £4100 buy a friend of mine, guy selling it was from a massive firm and clearly didn't care for the value and he just got lucky that no-one saw it and bidder, its 3 months old with only 1000 shutter count.

I put it with my 70-200 and 600exrt as I mainly do weddings, and these 2 are well used at those.

I have a 1D-X & two 5D3's which I use, he was going to do the same although won the C for less money!

What is the eyepiece? Seems...handy.

So it's not even new gear? but just different(used) gear ?

It's like when people say I bought a new car ( second hand ), that is a different car!

But seriously , I really appreciate you posting this

I guess getting a 1Dc for that price is absolutely stellar, even if it is used.

But it is pretty much your description. If the car is has been bought and owned for a few months, and has mileage on it, it's still used

But that is an absolute bargain for a 1Dc. now I see the point
