1DS Mk2 compared to 5D mk2

Oct 15, 2008

For the pros that shoot studio portraits(seniors, families,children) everyday for their living.

If you have been using Canons pro bodies(1DS,1dsmk2,1dmk2) would you switch to the new 5Dmk2? I'm using a 1DS & 1Dmk2 for my studio and want to buy a used 1DSmk2 BUT with the new 5Dmk2 selling for the same price what would you do?

Please take into consideration the extras I would have to buy for the 5D that I already have from my other 1d series cameras - L bracket, 3 extra batteries, battery grip, updates to raw software.
Thank you for your help with this.
Greg
