There are other differences to consider....
Already mentioned... the high fps and internal buffer. Major competitor in photojournalism and sports.
Planning on using a teleconverter with letsay the 100-400mm L lens? I maybe off but I do believe the 1 series body will maintain AF
I do believe the 1d-markIIn will provide faster AF
45 AF points versus 9 + 6 on the 5d
5d's evaluative meter is updated (new model camera) over the 1dmarkIIn.
Multi-spot metering in the 1dmarkIIn (Really big advantage!)
Slightly better build quality
Not sure.. but I do believe the battery in the 1dmarkIIn will hold a charge longer. But then again, its several times the size and cost of the BP-511 battery in the 5d.
Yes.. its heavier
There are disadv to a full frame sensor. There are disadv to a 1.6x sensor. Many consider the 1.3x sensor in the 1dmarkII is a good compromise.
Ergonomically, very different cameras. Only you can decide.
For pros with deep pockets, 1dmarkIIn for sports/etc.. or 1dsmarkII for studio/fine art. The 5d is a great middle ground between the two.
........and the price difference isn't that big......At my local shop (Wolf Camera) $3299.99 for the 5D and 3999.99 for the 1D. In my mind it seems the 1D has a lot more to offer for not a ton more money. That sort of knocks the 5D out of the running.
Thanks usayit..........by the way I'm an Aggie also......class of 88 in Radio and Telivision broadcasting.
Thanks again everyone!
