I am mainly just looking for another camera as a back up that will put out decent quality pics. I have a 28mm F/2.8 and 50 f/1.8 right now. Both EF. I also have a 20-35mm F/2.8L and 100-300mm F/5.6L on their way. I am currently deciding between the 10D and the 1D Classic now. I know the 1D classic has more professional build quality, but I am not sure if it is worth the extra $200 or so.
I had also owned a 1D, and it's a fabulous body as well. Great output for 4.2 MP. It's heavy and it's menu navigation is frustratting at first, along with 2 button operations to make some changes, but persistance pays off. The 1D AF is awesome, and it's fast. When I owned it, I used it more than my 40D.
You will need to determine what's best for you and a second body, but you can't go wrong with either the 10D or the 1D.
