I owned the first 1Ds....and the resolution and skin colors it produced was something special.... I shot it in studio and weddings.... It is an amazing machine....
@@joewhitnallphotography I am a 1D fanatic and currently eyeballing a 1DS MK III on ebay that has under 3K actuations and the gentleman wants $695 for it but it looks brand new .....with 3x LP E19 batts and charger.....what do you think, worth it ?
I have this camera and I like it a lot. It produces great images. I replaced the focusing screen so that I could better use it with manual focus vintage lenses. (The 5DIII focusing screen cannot be replaced). If you have this camera and you notice what looks like a 'light leak' across the top of the images, then it is because the shutter is starting to fail. The good news is that the shutter can be replaced with OEM parts for about $260. Then the camera is good to go for a long, long time.
I had two dream pro cameras. One is 1D Mark IV which I bought used two years ago with 42k shutter count. Couldn't be happier with it. The other one is this one you are reviewing. Would love to have one for indoor shoots. Yet to find a good used one. I'm DSLR forever. Convinced mirrorless cameras cannot beat these real cameras. Moreover, EVF lag of mirrorless cameras will always place DSLRs above them. Thank you for the video.
Great review. It's quite nice someone actually reviews these amazing cameras. I'm considering buying one. I wonder how some wildlife photos look like with this one and how the images differ or compare to those from the 1DX or even to the newer mirrorless.
Held one of these at Samy's camera last week. Heavy and built like a tank. Was priced at $749 which I thought was a bit high. Used to my mirrorless cameras which are so light. I do have a 5D classic which I love.
i am using the 1DX and the 1Ds Mark II (not so much lately, there was after using it since 2018 finally too much dust on the sensor and I gave it for cleaning)...and now I am waiting for a 1Ds Mark III from Calumet to arrive, body looked very fine on the images, about 4000 actuations (they even had one with less than 1000 in store)...419 Euro.
Thanks for the video. I own a Canon 5D classic, which has amazing colors straight out of the box! Was looking for another older camera. Would this be a better choice or 1DX? All I am looking for is great (filmic) colors.
@@joewhitnallphotography thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look into it! Are the colors different on 1dxii? Getting a cheap deal for it! The live view is tempting me for 1dxii. But end of the day just need good colors sooc!
@@flyingpingI bought the wireless transmitter used (glad I didn't buy new) and tethered it first time to camera and laptop...no problem. And since then it refuses to tether to the laptop. I've tried everything and it won't communicate. Waste of money. I found out later this is common though. It's not very good. It was apparently horrendously expensive new.

I can't wait to get my 1ds mki out and see what it can do!

Hey Joe - will this one tether to a laptop?
Hi, Yes you can!
Yes and if needed, you can get the optional WiFi part and use it untethered (if you have to be remote).
