[QUOTE="EORI, post: 610384, member: 43203"] You may get more responses at photography-on-the.net, as you're unlikely to find too many folks here that have owned/used both cameras. I've used a friend's 1Ds Mk II, and own the 5D. One advantage that I found with the Mk II during a limited time of shooting was the ability to shoot vertically without having to crane my right arm (of course, you can always get the optional grip for the 5D). That may be important to you if you're going to do lot's of portraits and fashions. The only other advantage that I can think of is the superior durability and weather sealing that comes with the 1Ds. From an IQ standpoint, the 5D loses nothing to the Mk II. The 5D is also smaller and lighter, which to me is more important than the advantages noted above. There are plenty of on-line reviews and comparisons of the 1Ds to the 5D, so you should do a Google search. [/QUOTE]
