Waiting with great anticipation for my new 1D2
As with Proenca on the Nikon forum and his D1x.....I'm excited to be stepping back in time to get my hands (at long last) on a new to me 1D Mark II.
I ordered it from KEH this morning.....LN- condition with all the bits and pieces that were originally included in the box and costing less than one fourth the original price.
I've wanted one of the pro build Canon DSLR bodies since acquiring an EOS 1V film camera a year ago. I also enjoyed trying out a friend's 1D2 a few years back. Couldn't justify spending the big $$ for a new 1D4 and I didn't really need the higher resolution (though of course, it would be nice to have!).
Thought long and hard about getting a similar condition/price Nikon D2x.....but that would have also meant a new "investment" in Nikon AF lenses, so for now, I'll stick with the Canon. Maybe someday I'll spring for the D2x and a couple of lenses.
Feels like buying a classic car....but a whole lot cheaper!
Anyone else here still shooting with a 1D2?
