The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II has arguably the highest image quality of any currently available Digital SLR. Outstanding resolution from a rugged Digital SLR that feels great in my hand, the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II delivers. I found not much to not like - other than the price - and the large file size required by the 16.6 megapixel images.

If 8 megapixels of resolution is enough for you and available lenses on a 1.3x FOVCF (Field of View Crop Factor) body are wide enough for you, the Canon EOS 1D Mark II is probably the right choice for you - I highly recommend it as well. And you can have two for the same price as a 1Ds Mark II.

If you can spare the high frame rate and the cash, the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II will give you excellent high resolution images (if you do your part of course). I highly recommend it.

The Canon EOS 1DS Mark II is a superb, highly specified camera that redefines not just the technological progress that’s been made in digital photography, but also the role of the photographer.

The Canon EOS 1DS Mark II is a sophisticated and complex camera – it’s like a computer and laboratory attached to a lens. Over-specified? For some, maybe, but I feel it represents a milestone in the development of digital cameras and for that matter photography on the whole. It’s going to be exciting to see where manufacturers take it from here but Canon is definitely leading the way.
