Which one of these would you pick for shooting weddings? Cost and weight aside soley based on performance.

1ds II. Both are full frame, it has a better/ fast auto focus and its a 1d.

Alright then I need to push harder for someone to buy my 5D. Check out the market place if you want a 5D mint condition.

Some things I like about the 1DsmkII over the 5D for an event is there's no mode dial that can get bumped out of position...The AF of the 1D is superb on all AF points, 2 card slots, weatherproof and general build is just better....Also, you get more cropping room with the 1DsmkII..... I think cleaner high ISO's might be the only advantage with the 5D.....and that's debatable

5D is cheaper and smaller, 1Ds2 is better in every other way.

if you ask 1Ds2 vs. 5D mk2 now you'll get some discussions
