I feel like this camera is to good to be true. It's very cheap in my opinion compared to other 1D's. What's the difference?

Firstly it is an older 1D. It is a second generation APS-H SLR. Right now they are on Mark IV in that range. One of the best advantages of this camera for me is the 8fps burst mode. Very good for a camera in this category and price range. I own one that I bought used. Best investment I ever made so far.

It is a 2004 SLR with just 8.2MP and it is heavy. That said, it is a great second camera. My primary camera is a 5D III. I purchased the 1D to keep out of my camera bag and in a place where I could just grab it for spur of the moment family events. It is rugged enough so that if one of my grandkids knocks it over there is no harm done. And since I am not planning on printing posters the 8.2MPs is not a drawback. In summary, if you are looking for a rugged second camera - the 1D Mark II is a good choice.

I didn't see any difference. I am very happy with mine, it woulds like I believe it should. There was only one issue with the viewfinder which in my opinion become too easily detached, but I am sure that's only my model. I would say do more research on this 1d in comparison to others. You can always buy and return it to if you don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping it back if you don't like it.

It is certainly a good camera for its price. In bright light pics and videos are good. HD quality and Wide-angle are not as good as some expensive cameras, but the 3-D Pics and 3-D videos viewed with 3-D glasses (Blue/Red) were amazing. As a starter 3-D Camera it is ideal.

Hi Mayra, Not sure why you're asking me this question, since I'm selling mine for about 20% of that. Please ask that seller. :). If they don't reply, it's probably because the D4 has only one CF slot, and one XQD slot, which is not widely adopted, so that seller may think they can gouge people on a camera with nearly the same megapixel count and very similar quality in every considerable area. Of course, the D4 shoots video, as well...it all depends on how you like to shoot, I guess. Even with a really nice piece of glass in front, no D3 is worth $10k.

I keep thinking the price will drop on the D90, just like the Canon did. Canon 50D doesn't offer the video recording does it? My worse fear is always buying a portable item at this price point, losing or dropping it. There is a certain amount of loss I can afford.I am not waiting too much longer to buy, the video option is weighing less on my mind since I just bought the wife a Panasonic Lumix (Tz50?) for quick pics. It was a HD video capture option, much better than the D90's, higher resolution, and the ability to zoom while recording. Cheap at $237.

I have the camera for 2 days and I am pleased with it. It has many options and is somewhat complicated to use. I would go on the forums on dprerview.com before you pick a camera

Subjectively not as fast as a Nikon D4, but what is. Just shot a forth of july parade. I see no discernible lag in my so far limited use. There is a small lag before your next shot. Not suitable I think for wildlife in motion.Bill Byrd

d7100 is far better, but its also more money, if you are just starting out 5300 is great, lots of features like toy camera mode, painting mode , it also has wifi and gps built in, my wife is just starting out so I opted for this instead of the more advanced 7100,also d7100 was named most stolen camera in the world!

Get the IS version. The extra $ are well spent; I have regretted it each time I bought a lower version of a lens and with a great 5D you would be better off with less lens and more quality.

I would go to Ebay to look at a picture. Even if you look at the new EOS-1D X, the basic look is the same excepting the buttons and re-alignment of dials and buttons. But, the basic body is still very much the same. Better yet, B&H; still has a pic of it because the have one for sale for $649 @ 8+. It was a great camera at the time, but a 5D or later version is a better camera with a full frame sensor which the Mark II N did not have.Yes, I bought mine new from Amazon, at the time.

It is an awesome camera. I love mine. Takes very good close ups as well. Good detail. Best digital camera I have had so far!! Good luck on Ebay.

S120 ;) (sorry don't know anything about the Nikons so I really have nothing objective here, but, I love this camera, love it). This camera is worth it's weight in my pocket for what it does when I need it to. Unreal quality and speed, and the video is on par with my 6D if not better in the same conditions.

No light on the V1, but still the price is attractive. I own both the V1 and a D90 (a DSLR a few levels above the D3200, although not in pixel count). I use the camera's for different reasons. The V1 is my go-to compact camera. Very good image quality, and since it goes everywhere with me I get shots I wouldn't otherwise get with a DSLR.

The 1.4x will work better than the doubler, but my gut feeling is that the 1DX works better with such a setup than a 1Div, 1Diii, and 5D.

I dont know, i have only one camera thats why. But in general this is a great one.

I think you have your answer from others here, but I thought I would chime in and call out that not only is it better and faster it locks on faster than my 1D Mark IV in low light conditions. There are a lot of tweak able settings, but I haven't found the AI servo to be as fast or reliable as the 1D, of course, that is mostly because I want the extra ~4fps and haven't fiddled enough with the AF settings. Even better than the AF system though is how gorgeous the photos that come out of the Mark III are. Incredible, even at silly ISO settings (12800+). You will love it if you get one.

Initially, I was also thinking of purchasing XSi earlier but now zeroed in on T1i (or 50D - wallet permitting) because (1) higher Effective Pixels in T1i / 50D - 15.1 M as against 12.2 M. ( I agree not a big factor for casual / normal photography) (2) HD Video in T1i (though one of my last considerations , but still it's a cool feature to have - managing a DSLR & Camcorder during an event / ceremony is difficult for me ) (3) DIGIC 4 Image Processing engine in T1i / 50D is better than Digic III in XSi (4) Lower ISO Rating / range in case of XSi (100-1600) as compared to T1i / 50D (100-3200 expandable to 6400,12800) meaning better performance in low light for T1i / 50D. (5) Number of LCD dots (in the LCD screen) is much higher in T1i / 50D (920,000) as against XSi (230,000) meaning better LCD visibility in bright sunlight. (6) Last but not the least , XSi was launched in January'08 as against March'09 for T1i - so you have already lost ~1.5 years out of 5 year life!! However , in case of Pixel density and price XSi scores over T1i/50D. Btw, cost difference is not much for T1i with and without the kit lens - better go for T1i kit. Canon 28-135mm zoom lens is ok but I like Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens. Hope this will be helpful for you.
