I always have a soft spot for 1ds cameras. Really thinking of trying a mkIII out as the used prices are quite appealing. Although the 5d3's value proposition is tempting and makes for a logical choice? What are your thoughts? I love my 1Ds 3 but, I added a 5D 3. Both will serve you well no matter which one you choose.

I feel for my stuff, 1ds3 AF is more than adequate. Vancouver Portrait Photographer

Imo, it's almost the same in weight.

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Dec 18, 2012 07:11 | #2420 The 5D3 AF system is OUTSTANDING... Had a chance to evaluate it for a few weeks through CPS and it was fantastic... Shot sports (surfing), product photography, and landscapes while I had it... If I didn't love the 1D-series feel and ergonomics, I'd pick up a 5D3 in a heartbeat... The previous 5Dxx iterations were great, but the AF simply fell short of expectations... Not this time around... Hi. My name is Butch...

Not this time around... In any event, if you want the new sensor and want video capabilities, a gripped 5D3 should suffice for what you shoot... Otherwise, a 1Ds3 would suit need easily... I agree. I've had a chance to test it for a short time and it's really that good. Either body will do well.

Bob Ueker comment is absolutely CLASSIC!! Hhahahaha... This was actually not at the very top... Something I may consider shooting again from that viewpoint... Anyhoo... Thanks for the chuckle this fine Sunday morning, good sir... Here's another 'sports' related shot with this body...  No guts, NO GLORY!!! Hhehehhee... 1Ds3 + 300 2.8L + Kenko Pro 2x TC combo... Minimal framing as they surfers were breaking close to the shore at this APSS Event yesterday... Gotta apologize for the 'arm cut off'... I'll do better next time to get it into frame... LOL! Thanks for the comment about the Bob Eucker comment. I'm surprised anyone even remembers that commercial. Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever!

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Dec 19, 2012 12:03 | #2427 ^ Julian... It's the standard Really Right Stuff MPR clamp... The RRS L-Bracket for my G15 is on route, so this was all I had to be able to mount the camera onto my ballhead... It's not the norm, but functions the same... hehehehhe... Hi. My name is Butch...

Sponsored by Quicksilver...  1Ds3 + 300 2.8L + Kenko Pro 1.4x TC combo... very nice! Kenko Pro TC eh? might have to consider one, that looks so sharp! I have the Canon 1.4 and I pretty much never use it, it degrades the IQ too much raѕιdel ѕlιĸa f l i c k r

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info | Dec 19, 2012 12:26 | #2429 ^ Just stop it down by 1-stop and the sharpness jumps considerably... It reduces the "TC Haze" by 95%... Good light also helps to achieve decent shutter speeds... Anyhoo... Thanks, srika!!! Hi. My name is Butch...
