I got one in the mail today… well TWO actually. I got a 1ds mark 2 and a 1d mark 2 off eBay with a charger for a price that I won’t disclose… it was too good. I’ve wanted this body for years and years. Today’s been a good day. Both batteries are holding a great charge and both bodies are working. The 1ds has 16000 on it and is in prestige condition. The 1d is a little long in the tooth but has been functioning great. Thank you for making this video. It really helped me pull the trigger.

❤ This should become a series. Adventures in buying used gear. Love!

Once in a while you come across a camera channel that feels like a breath of fresh air. This is one of them. Loved the video, sorry to hear about these ongoing bad purchases

It's a professional 35mm camera there was no compromise when this was on the drawing board peck Canon. The highest resolution camera up till that time.

I agree with everything you said. Late last year I bought a 5D Mark II and it is a beast and take really amazing photos, I have an SL3 that is 24mp and the 5D Mark II kicks it right in the balls every time. Love the vid.

Using that 5D mkii since it was released! More than 15 years shooting with it, already. Around 700.000 photos shot with the camera. (I own three of them, hehe) If you don't shoot astro photography and don't need super fast autofocussing, the camera is still on the same level as a modern fullframe camera. (Ok, dynamic range is a bit weaker, if you shoot such scenes, but I do exposure bracketing in night shots etc. anyway. ISO performance is good enough until ISO 3200, together with modern denoise software, but I rarely go over ISO 800 anyway or I use a tripod)

I remember picking up this camera and the 1D-mk II from the shelf at Yodobashi Umeda in Osaka, Japan, back in 2004. The thing felt solid in my hand. Somthing Phil Greenspun would shoot with. I also felt I could never afford it (at then prices and my financial condition then). But I still remember. Today's kids shooting with tiny mirrorless / girlie boy cameras have no idea what real cameras felt like.

The camera stores in Tokyo 2005 blew my mind.

That camera was for sure a great work horse and true testoman's huge workhorse, but what makes cameras these days girlie boy cameras? Too good and too small? I bought 1D-mk II 2005 and to be honest, I like much more modern cameras.

This by no means is hate towards Canon, but they struggled with oil being tossed on the sensors for years. This is why I went with Nikon so many years ago aside from the lenses. I met a guy who was using that same camera. I also met a girl who was using the Canon 5D. I was using a Canon Powershot G6. I knew them for a few years, and shot a couple gigs together. Both of them generated oil on the sensor that had to constantly be corrected in post. I saved up, and bought a Nikon D200. That camera still works, with well over 1m clicks and is being used by my friend sister for real estate. The only Nikon I've had an oil problem with was the D300. I've heard the D600 has an oil problem. The D3s, and Df I owned never had an oil problem. Now I'm back to the D200 b/c it just makes perfect skin tones. Large, Basic, Optimal Jpeg looks and nearly edits exactly like the raw file, so I don't even shoot raw at all anymore.

I have the same issue with my 1DX right now. It's at the top of the frame, then on the left side in the portrait orientation. I really only noticed it shooting at like f/1.8 or f/2.8. I can easily crop it, but it''s annoying. KEH said they won't take it back because it was an "ugly" rated body.

I actually just got the 1Ds Mk III a week ago. I love it! KEH camera, 39k shutter, 500 bucks.

Talking of dirty cameras, there are plenty of examples in our favourite auction sites of cameras that are filthy, dusty, fingered marked, etc where the seller just couldn't be bothered cleaning the camera they are selling. In general, most used cameras for sale are reasonably clean and presentable. Another great video, narrated in a truly grounded way. Another niggle, where a seller says "selling as untested as I've no batteries", when quite clearly the camera runs on AA cells, I mean, what the f#&*k. Regards Rob (UK)
