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.

Pros: It is a number 1

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Let's forget the weight factor, because if you are looking for a number 1 you know that weighs, but worth every gram of its mass, never mind the fact of simultaneous pressing both buttons for navigation, once learned you do not make much effort . Despite beginning to be rather old is a great machine, the flurry is from machine gun, as well as the shutter sound, the af works great, the battery is endless, and with luck you can take home at very attractive prices, beware of those who ve sells at 500-700 euro, not worth so much, personally I took a 200 euro, was a bit 'poorly assembled, I would say that for 300-350 euro is good if you put a great deal.

Pros: AN ACCURATE AND FAST AF SOLID, TROPICALISED, 8 frames per seondo ECONOMIC AND TIME AT A PRICE.

Cons: Displey TOO SMALL, BUTTON cumbersome to manage, WEIGHT, ISO ACETTABILI UP TO 1000

Opinion: I bought the 1D mark 2 used in 2008, it gave me a lot of satisfaction. It 'still a car still valid, such as autofocus is accurate. Perhaps, in my humble opinion, one of the best, has a solid body as a tank and its 8 million pixels are well defined and clean as long as not too much to crop the file. The advice to anyone who wants to buy a 1D body without fainting too.

Pros: CONSTRUCTION AND ERGONOMICS FOR SERIES 1 - GUST - FOCUS - NOW BECOME THE ECONOMY - ALL SUBSTANCE

Cons: FEW MEGAPIXEL - ISO GOOD ONLY UP TO 800 - TINY DISPLAY - SETTING BUTTON CONFIGURATION OF DIFFICULT

Opinion: All the cons listed, are in line with the cameras of the time, only the sister 1ds mk2 had 16 good megapixels and ISO up to 1600, in fact it is a super car! But in Working status with today's generation, in some circumstances it may make people feel. the buttons have the configuration that then canon intelligent thought, or to press 2 buttons simultaneously to enter the function, x prevent accidental clicks, less evil then they abandoned DrnComunque, if you need a machine gun economic, to accompany your ff, sec me is the ideal gust still at the top, and excellent af. To genres where it is needed most image quality, it is recommended that the sister of this generation, or the 1ds mk2 with its 16 MPs (ditto if you often crop or prints), but cmq, the virtually non-existent at low ISO noise filter, leaves much detail x an excellent recovery in ps, with the noise that is more like a film grain, although a bit dirty 'is not annoying. rnC'è then to consider that is a 1D, with tutto what follows from it: although dated, you have to hand you a professional, and you'll never want to go back perhaps even to a semipro: D I'm in love for example the lever behind the viewfinder x plug the eye, nothing more than a rubber stopper on the shoulder!! rnPer now I keep it, I have to go to Ireland in January, I need his seal watertight hehe then I'll change to a 1DS mk3 probably rnCONSIGLIATA .... ;-)

Pros: Af fast, robust body, albeit dated sensor still valid, the files come out clean RAW.Molto species in handy with long tele despite stazza.Durata batteria.Tropicalizzata.

Cons: LCD PANEL small but readable, AF menu to study.

Opinion: I've bought this camera recently, for reasons of speed here by a friendly user forum.La I already owned in the past and I must say it still surprises me as I have always been surprised many of the series 1.Ormai is located at ridiculous prices for what it's worth, I recommend the purchase to those who have never owned a 1D body, his performances make it even today.

Pros: Virtually indestructible, impeccable construction, barrage, ergonomic.

Cons: Weight, small screen and low in contrast

Opinion: I bought this camera in 2012, used with assets of 65000 shots but calculating that the Canon provides for 300000 shots still has a ways to go. the camera body is massive and rubustissimo, the flurry of almost 9 fps per second making it perfect for sports photography. I use it mainly for portraiture and I ragala of wonderful images ... for this type of machine the years seem to pass ever!

Pros: Body robust, 45-point AF, speed, gust

Cons: Screen

Opinion: Taken by a few days. Are immediately impressed by the speed and precision of FA. The flurry that makes a machine gun combined with AF that makes it even a car worthy of all respect. Excellent image quality, very clean. The mole is without a doubt the LCD monitor is too small. I recommend it to those like me who need speed and precision without too many frills.

Pros: professional body and solid, af speed, gust monstrous double solt, performance up to ISO 1600

Cons: weight, small rear screen for the current stardard

Opinion: I purchased this body used, in excellent condition, and the transition from a 5D mkII 1d this was really great. for the work I have to do its fast autofocus and professional staff is the best. I had some doubts about the low resolution and on the menu but, 8.2 megapixels are enough for all editorial use, and far too many to publish photos on the web. the menus are very different from all the other machines I've had, however, after a day of initiation, I find to be quite intuitive. as regards the performance iso can say that up to 1600 iso this Granny if the hollow fine, also helped by the low density of the sensor. In short: I'm very happy.

Pros: body, strength, image, speed, AF

Cons: Nothing for me.

Opinion: What about this wonder. To date, in March 2012, the use of a professional service for my glamor, fashion, weddings and events in general. Machine that gives me great satisfaction with clarity of images to be the envy of the newer machines.
