Pros: Fast AF; Battery lasts very long; Very good picture quality; 1.3x crop factor; Solid body; Water resistant; Almost 100% veiwfinder; 8 Frames per second; Mirror lock up;

Cons: Small display; Pretty heavy; Noise level only acceptable up to ISO 800; Even 2nd hand not cheap at all; Mirror lock up function hidden in menue;

Opinion: I'm no professional, so for my needs this camera is still superb! The 8MP are far enough for my needs. The camera feels great in Your hands, and taking pictures is great fun with it. When traveling, it can get pretty heavy for Your shoulder. Above ISO 800 noise is visible. But if You have fast Lenses, this is of minor priority. I love this camera and would buy it again. It has been a good friend for some time now.

Pros: Solidity, speed, impact as soon as you take it in hand

Cons: Small screen and controls to study, can not mount EF S optics

Opinion: I bought this used body as new for 380 euros. Fundamental premise because today some compacts cost more. As soon as you pick it up you realize that you have a racing car on you and the feeling it gives you is of robustness and safety in the job that this object must perform. It does not have many megapixels but I assure you that the photos it pulls out are devastating with unparalleled quality. Don't look at the screen!!!!!!!!! Put a WiFi card in it and you're good to go (Paolo Catalucci below me is right). The machine weighs but its mass is worth as much gold as it weighs, you will be rewarded by a super quality. Do not use the burst.......... In this mode it becomes a machine gun and fill 8 GB in a very short time. Ovvmente I'm joking ........ the gust is lightning. The only note is to use non-bulky lenses...... I was used to 'standard' machines..... this is larger than the others and with bulky lenses can be difficult to transport. I speak as an experienced amateur photo evolved not as a professional. I use it with 50 1.8 or with 100 f2 and it is very balanced. From a new incomparable era today it is very accessible and gives great satisfaction ........ Finally, I tell you that I am considering the purchase of a second body equal as much as I like. Even compared to today's machines it keeps up great. Good mark ll to all of you

Pros: Quality of construction at the highest levels, sharpness of raw and jpg, battery life, burst and true tropicalization, sensor apsh with a factor of 1.3x crop fantastic using telephoto lenses, giant photodiodes.

Cons: Weight, small but not unusable, little feeling with the programming keys in the first days of use.

Opinion: The Canon 1d Mark 2 is a true series 1, if you are not obsessed with the megapixel race and you are lucky enough to find one in good condition do it without hesitation.rnMix megapixels and giant photodiodes give fantastic photos, even JPEGs are excellent but raw they will leave you dumbfounded, autofocus that hardly misses a shot and blows with almost 9 frames per second ideal for sports photography or birdlife, true tropicalization you can take it anywhere without worries. Used with optics level opens a new world where the sensor dense will not make you regret anything, you can print 60x40 photos without problems.rnAt beginning you will have some doubts on how to use the programming keys but after a couple of days everything will be clear , the display is small but usable, if you buy a WiFi SD card the problem is solved ... if you are particularly interested in a shot you will have it in real time on your smartphone or tablet.rnWhich say, today someone looks at it as an object of the past and perhaps with the smile of those who consider it an obsolete SLR but in realityserious; is a SLR by real professionals who only aim at the substance without looking at the new trends.rnAcquistarela with your eyes closed and you will enter the real world of Canon flagships where everything has been designed seriously and at the highest levels.

Pros: Solidity from series 1, burst from 8, Af, used price.

Cons: Small screen, commands too cumbersome

Opinion: Bought used, to make a trip to Africa I must say that this body has not disappointed me at all. rnInnanzi is a series 1, in fact the solidity, the quality of the car feel immediately, great shots, super AF. The thing that still impressed me most is the burst, a machine gun, with always detailed frames, although I often and willingly photographed libea hand with a 400 mm.rnI really good files, as iso at most I got to 400 excellent .rnThe biggest defects found are precisely, the screen too small, practically useless and finally the commands that I found and are too cumbersome, before using it for good there is need of a bit of apprenticeship to understand how to enter the various menu.rnTo the rest say a body that has impressed me, an authentic tank.rn

Pros: solidity, AF, operating speed, ergonomics

Cons: useless screen, not immediate menu interface, resolution

Opinion: And 'the second time that I have a Series 1 in our hands. The first time was a 1Ds mk2, which is aesthetically identical to questa.rnE 'a Series 1, so that, no compromise. Construction, strength, speed, battery life ... everything is at the top. It is not free from defects, sure. But they are considered defects only today, in 2017. But it comes to an SLR than 13 years ago ... and 13 years ago, 8Mpx resolution were more than enough for everything ... the screen that appears today was considered shockingly tiny instead manna from cielo.rnE 'a reflex that forces you to do more at the click attention. The screen does not help to tell if the photo is in focus or not. It serves right to look at the histogram to see if it is exposed correctly or not. The AF has no hesitation .. quickly and accurately. It requires a little patience and some evidence to set it properly according to your needs / preferences. Yesterday I took 237 photographs at a football game, and only 26 were out of focus. It seems to me a figure accepted6egrave; an accessory can not be eliminated. If you take a Series 1, you already know from before buying it often that you must address to a physical therapist. On the positive side, it is that it can also be used as a blunt instrument in case of attempted theft.
