Hopefully someone who really knows will answer, because I sure don't .


Normally I like to believe hard data. But DXOMark also says ISO1815 on a 5DII is like iso1431 on a sony alpha, and based on images I've seen on the internet, sony alpha is about 2 stops worse than the 5DII. Sure, I was probably looking at jpgs and they're comparing raws, but this is a *big* difference.

Hi, mpphoto!


It is true what the others are saying, fast glass is important, more important than the camerabody. But if you really, really want the 1D MarkII you should check out some of the images by Rob Galbraith. Go to this page http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...8738-8908-8909 and download images taken with a Canon EOS-1D Mark II N at ISO 6400 and ISO 3200. Of course to get the ISO 6400 you have to underexpose by one stop and lift it up during postprocessing but as you can see for your self the result is great but the lightning has to bee good in order to do that. There is no difference in image quality between the 1D and the 1DN.


Good luck!
