The big problem with the D2 series is the lack of control. With its Firewire only requiement.
I had the trio. 1D Mk II, 1D MkIIn and the 1Ds Mk II. IMHO, the 2n is the choice camera in this series and the only one I have left.
Also, IMHO, the only thing the D2s has is FF otherwise the 2n is better.
I would save up for a good used 1DS MkIII. Again, IMHO.
Funds are being saved for a 6D or perhaps a 5D3, my 2N purchase was a very personal one, it was more about the seller. But it's also a wonderful body, I was looking for an older body with large pixels and was thinking on a 5D. The 2N and 5D share the same pixel size, I am somewhat reach limited and thus the 1.3x and AF won the debate.
As for the Ds, I've a dedicated; older, laptop that has firewire and I don't find the old gear an issue. There are some nice features the 1D3's have that make them quite attractive, liveview, sensor dust removal, a better/lighter battery. Yet for all their higher-tech there is a simplicity with the older 'bricks' that I prefer. There are a pair of EOS3s in my kit as well and yes they are 'old school' which I do enjoy.
Will I buy another 1D for now my toys are quite enjoyable
Cheers,
Jerry
