What are your 1D's MKII file names?

My 30D named files IMG_0004 i have just read that 1D's MKII have a random code that can't be changed. Out of curiosity what file names do you guys end up with?

Mine are OO2Yxxxx. I believe it can be changed on the 1D MKII N, but I haven't tried that.

Have Fun,

Thanks Rick

They can be changed. It also depends on your color space (sRGB/AdobeRGB).

IG3Qxxxx at the moment shooting RAW
_G3Qxxxx shooting JPEG

O47UXXXX....They can be changed on the 1DmkIIn, but they can not be changed on the 1Ds series cameras. Color space effects some cameras by adding a leading _.

09DJxxxx on my 1Ds Mark II. And I think Woolburr is correct about not being able to change them. My guess is you will be able to on the Mark III.

The mkII N can be changed, my files are my initials BRJ_xxxx

I dont know what mine are because I change them to my normal naming scheme immediately upon ingesting to the computer. I also havent changed them to anything special on my N for the same reason.

You can use that method with all cameras and dont need them to be able to create unique names. Its a smart way to go if your cameras dont create unique names so you dont get into having multiple file names that are the same.

Ahh, right - one of the features of the "N" revision... 1Ds will have to wait for an "N" or Mark III revision I guess.

From experience how much do you guys think the 1D's MKIII will cost on release?

What will this do to the price of the 1D's MKII?

A lot. Lower it a bit.

My 1DsMkII's code is VI0S#### or in Adobe RGB _I0S####. (as in Victor India zero Sierra)
It took me awhile to figure out it was a zero instead of an 'O' but I finally figured it out.

I like the fact it can't be changed until it leaves the camera.

Kind of better then a serial number thing. If the camera gets stolen and the recipient is stupid or doesn't know, there is a small chance I might be able to back trace and get my camera back. Not likely I know, but if it unique to each camera then I like not being able to change the first 4 characters of the file name in the camera. Since I can change the file name after it hits the computer this works great for me.

If nothing else it is way better then just "IMG" which is boring.

What I am curious about is if there was a sequence to the cameras, I got mine in Nov 2004 so it should have been part of the first batch that came out. But the code starts with a 'V' so makes me wonder how they determine the code.

And just to satisfy curiosity (in case a better answer doesn't come out)

Could everyone list the number (all 4 digits (as in sRGB mode image)),
When they (or whoever) bought it new,
And what country (or Canon region) it was originally purchased in.

If I get enough answers ( I would guess I need at least 10 data points to form a good hypothesis 20-30 to maybe find the answer with some level of confidence) I may be able to figure it out (if it is not just random).

And 1DsMkII only please (as 1DM2N can be changed)

no way of knowing, but probably 8k+. theres no info period on deatures or price. there may be a 1d/1ds merger as they've already annouced the end of the 1.3x sensor.
