I want to buy one today:
1Ds used, Ex+ KEH $2899 or 5D new $2959 KEH.
Both are essentially the same price, both FF, but the 1Ds is beefier and has a built-in grip but used. Which do you recommend?

Plus what has been already mentioned - ISO, etc. 5D and holy trinity of primes. Now the 90mm TS-E TS-E fly bit me. I hate these forums.

weka2000 Is that a 300mm in your pocket?  More info | I spoke to canon NZ over a simlar situation. There comment stay with the 5D as te 1ds was produced in 2002 and the technology wtih the 5D is more current. The big advantage I was after was weather sealing. The guy I spoke to felt the image quality would be better on the 5D
