comparing these Canon EOS

13 years 6 months ago #235 by tmr
Hello everyone. Could anyone offer some input? I am deciding between the Canon EOS 5D with a 75-300mm lens or the EOS 1D 4.2 mp with several lenses.

Tough choice. A 1D must have some "miles" on it. Not sure what the "several" lenses are but the 70-300 is a nice lens for wildlife.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

In "MY" opinion, the only point to owning a 4.2 MP camera is the novelty of it (or there are some great lenses at at cheap price).

I am not a fan of the 75-300 Canon lens ... It is an EF-s lens so it probably doesn't work well on the full frame 5D anyway.

The 1D was an excellent camera in it's day but I would rather have a 5d ... I assume that you are talking about a first version 5D and not the 5d II?

Which lenses come with the 1D?

I would be all over the 5d--full frame and plenty of resolution. They are hard to find even several years since they first came out.
