I am going to upgrade my system at about $3K+.
I am stucked at EOS5D (12 MP) or EOS1Ds (11MP).
Both are FullFrame.
5D will be a grey set, while 1Ds is a used set.
1Ds is slightly heavier, but I still can manage.
1Ds seems to be better waterproof then 5D.
Need advice on the picture quality. As seen on "dpreview", seems like all 1D "series" camera specifies that 12bit/color output and ADC is 12bits. I cannot find this specification in 5D specification anywhere, can anyone advice, which camera is producing better picture quality in terms of color?
Does it mean that 1D "series" cameras ( although having lesser MegaPix count ) is still having better picture quality? I am printing the shots to about A3 size , hence quality and color is one of my key considerations.
Now that MKII and MKIII is out, the price of EOS1Ds has dropped alot, a used set at ebay is costing at about US$2.5K ( buy now price ). Should I be investing on a used professional camera or a newer technology camera. Anyone used 1Ds before , appriciated if can provide me with some advice...
Is there any "minus" points on 1Ds that I should know before getting one?
I am currently tend towards getting the 1Ds. Anyone has a different suggestion or opinion ? :sweat:
I understand that it is not right to compare 2 different camera bodies. However, I really need some bros out there to provide me some 1Ds info.. thanks a lot.
