I just bought a used canon 1ds and I really love compare to my canon 40d... The one 1ds is step higher than 1d... 1ds has 11.1 megapickels lol and 1d has only 4mp...
1d is too old. 1d mark II or III is different story, but the 1d has only 4 megapixels. you do get sharp images, though. but if you are undecided, go for the d90 or buy a 1d mark II.
sure they can: noise performance, sharpness, sensor, and so on.
1D is a beast, it's cool and all. it's a "pro" body and feels like one, but I've seen great shots taken with a 300D. so what are you paying here? the body? the construction? megapixels? funcions?
1D is nice, but too noisy and way-too-sharp. the 4mpx may not seem like a big deal, but they are. you can't make a crop without a HUGE quality loss. simple as that. :(
Well, I didnt say that I own one.. I'd say the construction and body if I bought it. The ISO Technology is a bit old. But I only use like ISO 50-640 only (there isnt going to be much noise for low ISO). 4mpix isnt that big of a deal, but mpix isnt that important anyway its the sensor size that counts.
but, again, images taken with a 1D cannot be cropped without a huge quality loss.
for a regular user (who never prints its pictures and don't have much knowledge of picture editing) a 1D is more than enough, but if you're going "pro", it feels nice but outdated, compared to a D90.
i love my 1D but rush limbaugh playing in the background? c'mon man.

I'm sorry but I happen to have a 1D and 1Dmk2.
why would you need a 1/500 secs xsync?
and a 1/16000? that's because of the old chip. now with the CMOS you don't get that speed. but do you really need it?
IMO, no, you don't. 1/8000 is fast enought for almost everything.
I do strobist work and if I need faster sync with my PW I shoot at 1/16 in total dark, wich is just like 1/8000.
the 1Dmk2 has a 1/300 sync and no pro I have ever worked with cries like a baby for that.
gimme a break!

@ProfetaParanoia I used it for shooting skate/snowboarding to sync flashes in broad daylight.

well 1D classic is still a king. 4mpix is not much but hey, check out what Sigma SD14 uses ^^. And u cant really compare a D90 to a pro body.
Basic rule: Its not the camera, its the photographer!

why can't they be compared?
sure they can: noise performance, sharpness, sensor, and so on.

agree. sensor size counts big time...
but, again, images taken with a 1D cannot be cropped without a huge quality loss.
