 p.1 #3 · 1D EX+ Used or New 350 XT?? | |
simonsays,
I don't know much about the 350 XT, but I do know the 1D is a great camera. Much depends on which elements are most important to you. If the AF system, frames per second, build, speed and the like are important, the 1D is the way to go. The XT probably has better performance at the highest ISO's, and more megapixels, but not much else that would be better than the 1D. But again, it depends most on what you plan to use your camera for.
My reason for posting, though, is to say that you can do much better than $1800 for a very nice 1D by buying through the Buy/Sell forum here at FM. You should be able to save at least $300, possibly more, and if you're careful, you can buy with confidence.
Good luck,
Russ

Could be had right now with the 17-40 and 50 1.4 for less than $2000 if you look. I had the XT for a good while.......great images, perfectly functional for everyday stuff........but coming from the D2H I doubt if you would appreciate the 350's 'tiny graces'. I'd say either go for the 1D or seriously consider the 20D.
