I have been monitoring CL for used FF camera bodies and it seems the best deals 
are on Canon 5D mk1. 

With the 5D mk 2 out , many mk1 users are dumping their mk1's to upgrade to the 
mk2 for liveview and video, as well as Mpixel war, reasons. This has resulted 
in a sharp used price decline for mk1's. 

It seems you can routinely get them in range of USD $1000-1300 on both CL and 
ebay, often with battery grip and a spare battery thrown in. 

CL prices are often a little lower, with some units going for under 1k.  It 
seems like prices will continue to decline given how many people are lusting 
after the mk2 and also with price competition from Sony and Nikon, helping keep 
a lid on the new mk2 prices as well.

It will be interesting to see where the prices stabilize at, once the mk2 fever 
subsides. Seems like this is going to be a pretty good deal once it gets under 
$900, in the not too distant future.
