5D? - 1D - 1Ds

[Bevb]

Thanks Paulnj for all your advise i do like photographing fast moving subjects as you are aware, ie birds in flight and also i photograph peoples dogs at shows, over jumps, running free etc so i am more swayed to having more fps, how is the image quality on the 1DMkllN? will it be the same as my 20D having the same 8.2 pixels?

you guys have opened up another book on all the other technical advise going with these camera's and alot of this is important stuff, although quite baffling to me, but having to spend quite alot of money on my second camera i have got to get this choice right.

Well Bev, I am shooting an original 1D and get files that suit my needs fine. The MKII 's have a better sensor than the 20D , track better and give you far better control(45 AF sensors that can all be active at once). Once you get used to a 1D, you will never look back (unless weight is an issue). Also the 1D is weather proof and much more durable.

Thanks for the link Paulnj but i have already read Steveforums reviews on these models, i dont think i can read anymore reviews!!! but joking aside, reviews, yourself, and others here have taught me lots, and after a lot of thought i have chosen the 1D MkllN,(im praying its the right choice) i think it will surpass my needs photographing wildlife, and looking at picture samples from it, i have no quibbles regarding quality, plus although i could just manage financially to get the 1Ds it would leave me nothing at all towards another L series telephoto lense i might want in the future, so i am rather excited as camera due on Monday!! so once again thanks for your guidance and advice.
