Greg, I was agreeing with people in the thread who were saying that their 5D's IQ was better than their 1DMkII's. I went on to say that. If I had of said that the IDMk II was a match for the 5D I could understand your scepticism. Perhaps I should have said my 5D was more than a match for 1DMkII. Would that have been better? C'mon, did you stop reading when you got to that bit?

Pls read 200EUro + 1D II = 5D
Quick question i have a chance to change my old 1D II for a newer 1Ds Mark I with lesser Shuttercount
Should I?
It's not a trade I would consider.
BTW the shutter failed on my 1DMkII on its first outing. It was replaced FOC and has been fine ever since. In my experience there is no pattern to equipment failure other than any machine is likely to let you down when you need it the most. It's just the way it is.

Notice it only measures "Mean Time", so as long as you spent most of your life so far as "Happy Time" or "Nice Time", you've still got several years between failures.
