ok, im looking to go full frame from my 40d to a canon 1ds mk1 . in your opinion would it be worth the upgrade or not. i shoot mostly at night using several minute exposures for light painting etc and gig photography.

basically i want to know if id notice the difference in quality or not, or would the 5dmk1 be better suited?

cheers, phil

1ds mk1 have an APS-H 1.3 crop sensor, not really full frame like the 5D or 5DII and I don't think you'll notice much difference in IQ.

The 1Ds series of cameras are full frame. The 1D series of cameras are APS-H, which is a 1.3x crop. And for each iteration of those cameras, you'll definitely notice the price difference between the full frame 1Ds and the 1D.

thank you. I saw the 1Ds in the previous quote, and read it as 1D, not as it was written.
