Currently I'm using a 20D. I used a 5D over Christmas for a bit because I found one really cheap on ebay that I knew I could resell for more. If I had the money to keep it I would have, but I just didn't.
This summer though I'll be making some more money and I'd like to get something new. I've read a lot about the original 1D, and it seems great. I've never used a 1 series camera and I'd love to, especially since they're going for like $700-800 these days. The only thing I'm only slightly worried about is the fact that it's only 4.2MP. Now I'm NOT one of those people who thinks MP is the only thing that makes a camera, so that's why I'm only slightly worried about it. I like to make prints of 11x17 and larger. Is 4.2MP good enough?
Other than that, what do people think of it, good quality images? I know the battery life isn't that great but I don't care, I'll just buy more batteries. I'm coming from a 20D so keep that in mind. Will I be impressed or let down coming from a 20D?
