Hello, I'm trying to decide what would be the better choice. Used Canon 1D's (not 1Ds) are going for about the price of new 20D's. I don't know what would be the more practicle decision.
I like action photography, so the 8fps of the 1D would be great and I feel that I would rarely make a print larger than 8x10", so the 4mp shouldn't be a problem. I really like the ruggedness and weather-resistance of the 1D. My main concern however, is that maybe this camera is becoming too "dated". For those of you really in the scene, do you feel this is the case with the 1D. Another thing that concerns me is it would be used. There are people out there that take real good care of their equipment and those who don't.
The 20D's 5fps is still impressive, though. It is lacking to the 1D in regards to flash sync (1/500 vs 1/250, I think). It isn't weather-resistant like the 1D and the verticle grip would be an extra expense; however, it would be a new camera and definately is "dated" like the 1D may be.
What do you guys think?
