Canon EOS 1D

I have owned and used the Canon EOS-1D (2001) for over 10 years.
Over the years, I've made several comparisons, I present them to you here.

It might be of interest to some photographers

A superb machine for the pros.
With a CCD sensor (28.7 x 19.1 mm) APS-H for a factor of x 1.3
A 50mm behaves like a 65mm in 24x36
The EOS-1D is the only Canon SLR with a CCD sensor

The 1D was a rugged pro-end camera, so had a lot more configurability than something like the 20D, and it has a global shutter, and the camera allowed flash synch at 1/500s natively. People used external flash/exposure triggers to use flash at even higher shutter speeds (like the new Sony A9-III does natively).

I've never made a comparison between these two cameras, at least not yet.

But if you take the time to look at my comparison between the Canon EOS-20D (2004) and the Nikon D200 (2005)

And finally, between the Nikon D2H (2003) and the Nikon D2X (2005)

Why keep it simple when you can keep it complicated? 🤣

would love to buy some old cameras , but my only pet peave, is they ALL suffer from terrible AF, even some of your samples are not focused on the same part of the subject 😌 i remember when i did my first pro shoot because a photographer didnt show up. i rang a mate that worked for Vogue as a photographer for tips and he said to get good focus you must on every shot move the focus point to the eye or focus re-compose and even then the images where not consistantly in focus.

To achieve excellent focusing as often as possible.
Normally, it's best to have an excellent camera with a matching lens, well-contrasted subjects with adequate lighting.
And of course, a good photographer who masters his equipment well.
And whenever possible, do not hesitate to take several photographs (it costs nothing) there's usually one that stands out from the crowd.

Have you noticed that when a photo is successful, it's thanks to the photographer
And when it fails, it's always the camera that gets the blame. That's life 😉
