Nice capture, sorry to here it gave up the ghost, loved mine until I switched over to Nikon. Now, along with the other bodies I own I have the the Nikon equivalent of the Canon 1d, the D2h and still take it out to shoot from time to time. They both still produce great images as long as the user understands their limitations.

I would love to take a great photo of a great cake. however when i get back with the camera, everyone has frosting on their faces.
Thank you for the comment. My new to me 1d Mark II arrived today. Hopefully it won't sit in the bag.

I picked up a 1D about 8 years ago as a 'spare body' to keep in the car. Version I got was mint, only about 7000 shots! Turns out these are awesome cameras, and whilst only 4mp, I have a few images that are printed at 18x18 that look great. Unfortunately once you've picked up a 1D body there is no turning back! I still have the original though, and it's still going strong. Just realised that I haven't used it all year, so I think I need to slap a lens on it and take it out for the week!

In the meantime, here are some historic shots.

First up, a landscape. Whilst only 4mp the 1D keeps up well.

Have not really used mine since I got a 1D MkII around 3 years ago , but yes as you say they still perform well , used mine for motor sports and was even a great portrait camera , I currently use a 1Ds , 1D MkII and a 40D

Curious why the exif data shows the Canon 40D as the camera used?

What happened, everyone sell their 1d in 2018 or just retire them? I just got one, like new, never even had a flash mounted on it. $100. Being mostly a Pentax user, the CCD photos from it look like what I am used to for the most part. So over the years I have collected a 10d, 20d, 40d, 50d, 7d, and now this. Is this thread dead or revivable?

I have 3 of them, one is relegated to my collection. I use it once in a while as I try to rotate bodies and lenses so they all get some action throughout the year.

For me, without going into all of it , sharing has no point anymore.
