Hi There Everyone

I'm thinking about looking into buying either a MKI or a MKII in August/September time. However I'm having difficulty finding information out about the MKI

Does anyone have any comparison spec's for the two.

Also do you have a picture of a MKI, dont know what they look like.

Many Thanks
Jamie

The 1D MK1 is the original, and not the best. Still a very good camera though despite being just 4Mp. It also was the last Canon DSLR to use a CCD sensor and had a flash sync of 1/500th
 
The mk1 looks pretty much exactly the same as a mk2, just doesn't have the mk2 badge on it.
I owned one for a couple of years and only recently sold it. The battery life was pants, and the resolution certainly can't compete with my 5D. Excluding that, awesome AF (same as mk2), 1D level metering and a joy to use if you can deal with the weight.
 
hmm. By the sounds of it I would definately be needing the MKII. In an ideal world the MKIII but I can't afford that :lol:
 
Richardthesane, off-topic, that archive of Canon gear is fascinating - great to read about cameras like the T80, the Eos RT and that horrific EOS Ix APF thingy - uurrgghh!!
