I have another camera that will sinc at 1/500

Hands up I lack the abilty to use that camera. I admittedly am not a small percentage as good as the gear i want

I suppose we are spoiled with the digital revolution. The effort and learning curve before probably made it all more rewarding if not far more difficult

I'm shooting nearly as much film now as digital

1D is a still great choice for the money and great camera for experiments. for 300$ or so you can buy Canon XTI, 20D, 30D... if sync speed, faster AF, weather seal, 8fps and hard to destroy body is important for you this is a good choice. If you do not make a super large prints, if you do not need to crop your photos a lot, 4.2Mpx is good enough. Canon 1D produce photos in resolution 2464 x 1648 not many monitors can display higher resolution than that, anyway. Overall if this camera is for experiments, for tough environment, for better AF I would definitely consider it. I do not recommend it as a primary camera or for work.... but definitely it is is still nice camera for back up and fun.

I'm just wondering why you want 1/500 sync speed? 1/250th works just fine for whatever I do in the studio. If I need faster usually it's outside and the 580EX II will do a high speed override so I can use it all the way up to 1/8000.

He wants it for outside for overpowering the sun
