jxsq, nice ones.

I just sold my 1Ds II and 50D, so right now I am just getting by with my 1D. In normal lighting conditions, it is still a fantastic camera. Even at high ISO, it's not too bad.

Here is a few snapshots with ISO 1600 straight out of camera -

I think your photos would be nicer if:

1. The 1D battery lasted longer than a few hundred shots
2. The 1D LCD was bigger
3. (Obviously) The 1D had more MPs for cropping
4. The 1D took memory cards greater than 2GB.

You can use 4GB on the 1D body. I did it back in the days when everyone was ripping the 4GB micro drive off MuVo player and costed about $200.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

6. If the 1D used 14 bit colors. Totally forgot about that.
and lastly...7. If the 1D had excellent high ISO capabilities at ISO 12800.

When you look at 1d's IQ, none of above seems to be a problem for me.

Image quality is what counts after all.

Of course. I forgot to add a smiley in the end of my original post. The complaints I listed come from the threads where people asked whether 1D is still a good camera to have for the price.

Well, it is a killer camera for $500 now.
My models are tiny. Shot with a Nikkor 600mm f5.6 ED AIS. Manual focus, now that was challenging. Of course AF wasn't available, but 8fps was very useful

Catching flying bugs with a MFST? I'm extremely impressed.

Happy shooting,

Actually some of my favorite shots came from 1D - even though I did not own it for that long - switches 1DII at that time and never decided if that was worth it ... well except the battery life...

Excellent shot in the tread ...

For me, it was just the battery life...the "special" look to it may be attributed to the fact that it was the only CCD sensor 1 series?

The 1D was a really outstanding camera and as long as the original file was well-exposed, you could take them pretty big for print.

Duck is looked much better captured after it has been roasted

Nah, it's nothing, I needed a faster future xD model to capture Tri catching flies with chopstick...

Seriously, there is a 1Ds (FF) body that offer for $1,100 on Craigslist that very, very tempting to me as a backup body for my 5D, but if I waited for few months and few hundred more, I could get a 7D. Wait! I just get a brand new 7D yesterday, but my son quickly "traded" his 40D for it! I told you, having a spouse is already "bad", having a son who shared the same hobby is even worse!!!

Awesome is a very relative term here. At that size, the native pixels per inch is only 82, which would make for a very mushy image printed at 20x30. Take that same image with a 5DII and compare the prints. Everything looks great until it is compared to something better.

agree with you for the compared print can learn more result.
in fact I only got one time 20'x30' print from 1D file, mainly are 8'x10', so I also afraid that result of 20'x30', luckly that print out just great and I guess the reasons are that's from studio shot and with care post processing in LR.
anyway, any suggestion for the biggest print from 1D, is that 16'x20'?

thanks for your advice.

"Obsolete" doesn't mean "vanishes into a black hole" or "no longer functions". It just means there are superior options available, often for less money, or for little additional money.

Now is there any actual tangible reason to believe this camera, nearly a decade after its introduction, offers any worthwhile advantages over more modern alternatives? If not, this is just silly nostalgia, combined with more "mystical image characteristics" nonsense.
