When I bought my 5DIII I did briefly look at picking up a used 1DsIII instead. At the time, used prices were a bit higher, but it was still pretty comparable. I don't recall all the reasons why I went with the 5DIII, but I do recall that they were on the specific reasons why I was upgrading from the 7D. For example, I did want the higher ISO performance as low light photography was one of the reasons I was making the upgrade. I am also in a different situation whereas you have multiple bodies and can choose which body is best for your usage. I want to have a single body that is the best fit for all my intended uses. So, I went 5DIII. But I can certainly see using an older generation 1D series body.I mentioned I just picked up a 1DsIII. I did not mention I also picked up a 1DIII also used from KEH. I love them both. 10MP is plenty for sports.
