Its a 6pin firewire cable. Do you have a firewire port on your computer?

I've not no.

Any thoughts?

Add a firewire port to your computer

Thanks for that Rene, hadn't thought of that one.

Keep in mind- firewire port or not, there are no Vista drivers for the 1D Mark I or II. I'm in that dilemma myself. I'm going to have to re-install XP and dual boot just to change my 1D Personal Functions.

How Mac running OS X?

What Canon application do I need to install on Mac to change 1D Personal Functions?

you guys are very bad, i was a very happy 40D Owner, but i went through all of these 78 pages, and now i wanna have a 1D.
I never print Pictures,...Webgalleri​es, and so is my usage of them.
Is a change worth it?
Will i miss Features?
Thanks for your help.

you'll miss the ability to crop, but I think in the long run it will force you to be more selective in 'zooming' with your feet and lead to better composition, at least that's what I'm hoping .

though, I haven't tested this out myself, but I hear that the 1D b/c of the CCD sensor is terrible at long exposures (night) b/c it exhibits purple corners b/c of the way the CCD sensor operates.

i´m used to Zooming by feet cause my favorite lense is my nifty fifty so i have to zoom by walking around :P

When i crop a pic its like after transforming the picture, and on this step i just fit the pic to the transformed space :P(hard to explane)

But with a price arround 400-600€ i´m thinking of getting a 1D.
But i´m not shure, it´s 4MP are almoust a problem in my mind,...do i need more?!
Most times i do portrait and landscape shots...

well, taking a quick peek at your gear list, I think your 17-85 will be incompatible with the 1d, so that might affect your decision. and if you doing portraits and landscapes, you probably should stick with the 40d, another feature you might miss is the bigger LCD and review zoom.

you should be able to print 8x10's (around A4 in Germany?)

Whats the biggest print size would you get away with do you think, if your not cropping at all?
