Richard, I had a 1Ds from shortly after its introduction. When I got a 1DII (non-s), I began to think about selling the 1Ds, but found a slight advantage to the old FF in large prints of landscapes. After getting a 1DIII, I found that the newer cam made equal or better 16x20 prints, in spite of slightly smaller sensor and 10 vs 11 MP. Sold the 1Ds.
I\'d like to own a 1DsIII, but that is impossible now. At any rate, I\'m only suggesting that my experience was that the original 1Ds could produce great IQ, but had no magical advantage over the later designs. Please note that I haven\'t worked with a 1DsII or III; I\'m just skeptical that they would give up any desirable qualities unless one wanted a bit of graininess in the shadows of a picture that already featured a lot of texture.
My 2p minus inflation...
