Chops, I have used every camera in Canons digital eos line except for the d30.

The 1Ds is pretty slow compared to the 1d II.

If you want to get right down to it, pretty much every Canon digital body is slow compared to the 1D Mk II.

Well... that must depend on what you already have in your arsenal and what type of photography you do. The 1D Mark II will make your existing lenses perform to a new standard and improve your sports shots immensely, but on the other hand the 500/4 will get you wildlife pictures you only dreamed of... difficult choice indeed...

The 1Ds isn't really interesting at all for me, I don't do much studio shots or landscapes, and my hard disks are full as it is. :)

I'd take the lens

Unless you really need the extra features the body offers


If in doubt, I shut up...

Gear: 40D, 12-24mm AT-X Pro, 17-85mm, Sigma 150mm Macro Sigma 100-300 F4, 550EX, other stuff that probably helps me on my way.
