p.2 #15d vs. 1ds2 Magic?
Could you guys post sample images showing how one camera pops more than another? We are photographers, afterall.

I've never had any issues with popping on the 1Ds series. One time the sensor was replaced by Canon.

The 40D is not even close to the 1Ds MK II. Have you used all of the Canon FF bodies? IMO, a description from users is worth more than a bunch of random, downsamples images. Of course if you search a bit there are various threads linking to comparison images between the 5D and 1Ds MK II. It is quite an old topic.

The 1DSMK2 is more camera than 99% of us will ever need..

Yeah and I have two of them just sitting around and decomposing. I should have sold them in 2007-2008.

I just sold my 5D and am expecting a 1Ds II in a few days. Please tell me that 1Ds II is a better body than 5D all things considered...

The only real comparative drawbacks are greater body size/weight and battery pack/charger.

Dan, did you think I meant it literally? Take a 30d with a 24-105 and take a photo. Now take the same photo with the exact same settings, this time using a 5d. You will see the 5d has a little extra punch to it. I realize they are just tools, but not all tools perform the same right? The 5d has fairy dust in it, and I want no further argument from you on the subject.

Every body knows the first 8 giga pixel sensor will appear in either a Sony camera phone, or the Canon G11 - too close to call who'll win that race.

Different sensor formats need different lenses and different settings to produce the same results. Tell me what settings you used on the 5D, and I will in most cases be able to replicate that extra punch on a 40D.

Nuh uh, my 1Ds VII definitely has 8 billion megapixels. That's 8,000,000,000,000,000, or 8 petapixels. I'm pretty sure that's right. Even even double checked just now by going over it with a microscope making tally marks along the way. Hopefully I didn't lose count anywhere.

Riffing on the title of this thread... now that really is a magic camera!

The talk of crop came in when talking about the DOF diff. between crop and FF. I've had a couple 1ds2's and that is one phenomenal camera! I prefer it over the 5d but also think the 5d is a great "tool"

oh here we go... the "popping" 5D IQ again
AFAIK the 5D has a weaker AA filter and obviously a lower pixel density, so of course its images are gonna be subtley different. However, the 1Ds2 is no slouch. It has a greater DR from what I've seen and by default does next to no in-camera processing. It also has waaaay superior AF and (IMO) exposure control, which is far more useful in terms of IQ to me.
Granted, I will admit that at current used prices the 5D probably offers the best IQ for the price. But IMO it doesn't compare to the 1Ds2.

I think a fairer comparison is between 5D MkII and 1DsMkII, not 5D.

Mayhaps, but it's the original 5D which is often attributed as having a little extra somethin' somethin' to its shots.
