The best Canon has to offer
Ok, the price of this thing is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, Canon was now nice enough, only a little over a year later, to release a lower level product with equal Megapixels (the forthcoming 5D mark II), and do serious damage to my asset value (this camera). Thanks.

My previous high end camera is the Canon 5D.

It is clear to me that, other than the improved sensor, which gives the latest chip (DIGIC IV), higher Megapixels (21.1) and higher ISO (6400 native .... Read more

Just what I needed.
I have a 5D that has been moved to backup duty since acquiring this beauty. The problem I was having with the 5D was that many of my images were getting rejected by the stock agency I shoot for due to excessive shadow noise. I spent hours cleaning up noisy shadows in post, and still got some rejects. Not so with the 1Ds. It produces absolutely clean, perfect, huge files straight out of camera with little or no post work. Even when you turn on the extended ISO and crank it to "Hi" (essentially IS .... Read more

GREAT camera, stinky controls
It's definitely an improvement over the 1Ds Mark II, which means it's the best 35 mm format digital out there, period. Auto dust removal is a huge plus - FINALLY - and picture quality, especially noise suppression, is noticeably improved. Downside: Canon's firmware and software and control buttons and dials, which have always been needlessly convoluted and confusing, are, if anything, even MORE convoluted and confusing on this model than the Mark II. How anybody could screw up anything so simple .... Read more
