Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II
The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II is a professional full-frame digital SLR introduced in 2004 as the high-resolution flagship of Canon's EF-mount 1-series. It was positioned at studio, commercial and landscape photographers seeking large-file output, sitting above the sports-oriented 1D Mark II in the lineup.
UK auction data for the 1Ds Mark II is thin, with a single recorded hammer result of £90 in early 2024 — a wholesale saleroom price, not a retail figure. On that limited evidence the model sells for modest sums today, though condition, shutter count and a working battery typically swing what an individual body is worth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II worth in 2026?
Based on one UK auction hammer result of £90, the value today is modest, but a single data point is not a reliable guide to the wider price range.
How much does a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II sell for at UK auction?
The only recorded sale in our data achieved a £90 hammer price in February 2024; clean, low-shutter examples with working batteries may achieve more.
Is the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II still a usable professional camera?
It remains a functional full-frame EF-mount DSLR, but the lack of factory service support and ageing battery technology mean buyers should weigh repair risk against the low purchase price.
