Canon 1D Mark II N For Sale, Natural History Photography Blog

**SOLD.**

Canon 1D Mark II N: 8 frames per second action, sports and wildlife camera. 1.3x crop factor. I’ve used it primarily to shoot surf and sports. This thing is a real screamer.

Canon 1D Mark II N plus the original battery, one spare battery, original charger, all original cords, box, body cap, etc. I am the original owner, purchased September 2006. It is originally a full USA warranty body (now out of warranty). Approximately 57000 shutter actuations. No repair work has ever been required, or done, to this camera, other than periodic sensor cleanings at Canon Irvine. Serial number is 424978. Firmware is 1.1.2.

Here are some photos taken with it just last week (at Bosque) and a few weeks earlier (local):

I am picking up another 1Ds series body and no longer need the high frame rate or 1.3x crop factor of the 1DIIn, so am selling it. The first $1500 takes it. Wire transfer, check (must clear first) or Paypal E-check are preferred. Buyer covers shipping, I prefer to use UPS but can send by FEDEX as well. United States sales only (sorry, will not ship overseas).

If you are serious about purchasing it, best is to phone, here is my contact info: http://www.oceanlight.com/html/contact_bio.html

Some generic marketing verbage:

The EOS-1D Mark II N is an upgrade of the award-winning EOS-1D Mark II. Still featuring 8.2-megapixel performance at 8.5 frames per second, the upgraded camera has a higher performance buffer to deliver a 48 frame burst in JPEG and 22 frame burst in RAW. LCD monitor size increases from 2.0 inches to 2.5 inches, and dual CF and SD memory card slots provide for separate RAW and JPEG recording. Color Matrix and parameter settings are replaced with Canon’s new Picture Style–6 pre-sets that simplify in-camera control over image optimization and processing.
Exceptional image quality is assured with an APS-H size (28.7 x 19.1 millimeters) CMOS sensor and high performance DIGIC II processor. The EOS-1D Mark II N also features 45-point Auto Focus and a start-up time of 0.2 seconds. Its wide 100-1600 ISO speed range is expandable to L:50 and H:3200.

First choice of professional agencies

Launched in January 2004, the EOS-1D Mark II fast became Europe’s best selling professional D-SLR camera. It secured the major share of sports and photojournalism worldwide, with the world’s leading wire agencies such as Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP choosing Canon professional products for their photographers.

Exceptional image quality, total reliability

Exceptionally high quality images are assured due to the combination of Canon’s DIGIC II processor and 2nd generation CMOS sensor, which features an on-chip noise elimination circuit to reduce the creation of fixed pattern and random noise. A low-pass filter placed in front of the sensor reduces false color and moire effects, while the infrared filter suppresses red fringing caused by sensor reflections and fog.

The EOS-1D Mark II N has a shutter durability of 200,000 cycles, and a weather resistant magnesium-alloy casing with over 70 dust- and moisture-resistant seals protects the camera.

A new Auto option is available on the Noise reduction menu screen, which offers automatic detection and correction when necessary of noise levels in images with exposures of 1 second or longer.

Compatibility and accessories

The EOS-1D Mark II N is compatible with all Canon EF lenses and the entire EX series Speedlite flash range. Canon’s E-TTL II flash system optimizes flash exposures by linking distance information from the camera/lens system to the 21-zone evaluative or averaged metering readings from the pre-flash.
