Canon EOS analog and digital

The Canon EOS 1Ds was the first professional full frame digital camera from Canon and was introduced in September 2002. This 11.1 megapixel camera is still very similar to the last analog Canon professional camera, the EOS 1V. Nearly all analog setting knobs are at the same place as at the digital sibling. The EOS 1Ds was replaced in September 2004 by the Mark II.

Both cameras, the EOS 1V and the EOS 1Ds I found here quite cheap and they are both still a joy to use. The following photos shall illustrate the near relationship between the analog and the digital Canon professional ‘workhorses’.
