I have owned it since new. It has less than 73,000 shutter actuations on it since new which is incredibly low and very rare to find. This camera itself was rare and not many are out there. Not many are well taken care of and in such great condition of those that exist.
With the camera comes the following:
Genuine Canon Dual Charger NC-E2
Three Genuine Canon NP-E3 batteries
Battery dust cover
Manfrotto tripod mount foot
1X Lexar 600x 16GB CF card
Geuine Canon Leather hand strap
Genuine Canon AC Adapter
Won't find one around nicer than this or even find one to begin with.
Also throwing in a free Canon travel backpack and screen protectors on the top and back screen since day 1. I have owned the camera for about 10 years.
Certainly! Let's delve into the fascinating world of the Canon EOS-1D and its sibling, the Canon EOS-1Ds. These cameras hold a special place in the hearts of professional photographers, and their legacy is worth exploring.
Canon EOS-1Ds
The Canon EOS-1Ds, released later, was the high-resolution variant of the 1D series. Here's what you need to know:
Resolution and Sensor:
- The EOS-1Ds raised the bar with an 11-megapixel CMOS sensor.
- Crucially, it was the first Canon digital SLR with a sensor that captured a full 35mm frame (i.e., full-frame).
- This meant no crop factor; your lenses behaved exactly as they would on a traditional film camera.
Viewfinder and Display:
- The viewfinder was a glass pentaprism, providing a bright and clear view.
- The 1Ds featured a two-inch, thin-film transistor color LCD monitor with approximately 120,000 pixels.
Image Quality and Studio Photography:
- Studio photographers adored the EOS-1Ds for its exceptional image quality.
- With a full-frame sensor, it could fully utilize the angles of view offered by Canon EF lenses.
- The camera's 11 megapixels allowed for detailed, high-resolution captures.
