p.1 #12 · Should i trade my 1D II for 1Ds | |
+1 on all counts.
On the Mk1, it is crucial that as you move off base ISO that your careful about exposing to the right (of the histogram). The file quality from the Mk1 is amazing, BUT the files won't react well to trying to push exposure in post like more modern 5D or 1Ds2 files will. The more careful you are on exposure, the more painlessly you can climb the ISO ladder.
Batteries do get chewed, but not horrible by any means . LCD is tiny and previews slow, but you are buying an earlier gen camera with a slower processor. The trade off is a nice price for amazing shot quality with great per-pixel acuity and (a film-like?) quality from a robust body with a solid fast (I shot soccer for a season with one) AF system (same as 1D, 1D2/N, 1DS2), weather proofing, etc.
Batteries, screens, L plates, etc are all interchangeable between the 1d, 1d2, 1ds1, 1ds2. Give it a clean used one a try - it's not like a another clean 1D2 or ___ will be hard to find if you decide it's not for you and want to change.
Good luck

The detail captured by the 1Ds is excellent. Better IQ then the 1DII and 5D. It does eat batteries, 350-500 shots per. It likes to be kept below 400ISO, but still decent at 800. The 1DII does make really nice files with stronger use of USM.
The 1DsII is a solid step up, but also twice the price
