This poll is absurd. The best camera isn't even made by Canon!

Just so the n00bs understand, this is a 1Ds Mk.I

Vote accordingly.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

I don't see how an Internet poll helps you here. The decision is primarily yours to make and it depends on what you photograph.

You have them both, you have used them both, you know better than anyone else what type of work you want to do, so why on earth do you think any one here can answer your question better than you can yourself.

If money is an judge of quality and "better" then it would stand to reason that a camera that is made by the same company, for sort of the same use, that costs more would have some sort of inherent "betterness" to it.

Maybe I missed something. Is one going in order to make way for a newer body or are you going to make do with one body?

Depends on what you shoot, for me, the 1Ds would stay
