Should I go for the 5d 12.8mp or the 1ds 11.1mp?
What do you think of this:
Canon EOS-1Ds 11.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
$1099 used-very good
Includes 6 batteries PLUS the AC adapter(a must), body cap, battery charger, power Outlet, Only a slight scratch in bottom right of lcd screen but this is barely noticeable
This is on amazon right now. It's cheeper than the 5d's. My only concern is that they don't give you pictures of the cameras on amazon.
My other option would be a $1400 5d.

The 1Ds sounds like a fine deal there. But again I'm saying this sight-unseen. If there are no pictures then I think you'll need to consider exactly what the seller means by a scratch being 'barely noticeable'.
The 5D certainly has 1.7MP more than the 1Ds, but I'm dead sure that even if you print big, you're not going to see much difference. The images of the 1Ds are inherently crisp too and that could render the difference completely moot. The 1D Classic too, has the tendency to produce super-crisp images. There's probably a good deal of folks out there doing nice prints with just 4MP.
