I forget who told me I'd be an idiot for getting a 1DMKII when I don't need it... traded my 70-200 f/4 and $450 cash for a 2.8 non IS

i can get those exact same shots on any relatively new canon camera and a 70-200. going out of your way to get a 1DmkII really probably wasnt worth it unless you are printing. for the purpose of digital copies and the web having a 1D camera doesnt make your image any better.

2nd image would be 100X better if you took it while laying on your stomach. more interesting perspectives make for better shots in my opinion not what camera was used wink.gif

I don't understand. Why does "printing" need such a good camera?

Not my cup of tea either I'm afraid so take my words with caution, however,you just need to know how far the viewing length of the print will be and you can base your needs off that.

A 6mp dslr can give you good 30"x20" prints when your viewing further away say 5 feet or more. The closer you want to view the more detail you expect and thus a need for a higher mp count for a higher overall dpi count on the print itself so you don't lose the detail with close viewing.

You can use 12mp for a billboard as well if you really wanted to, generally for most people anything between 6mp and 24mp will do the job no doubt, just don't go crop crazy in post process (if you have to crop) and your prints should do just fine.

Lastly i'll debunk needing a good camera for printing and say, you need a good printer or printing provider for good prints. Hope this helps biggrin.gif

i'm in a country with an active nuclear weapons program yet there are children streets starving and in dire need of medical care. this is gonna be great.

on the flip side, a lubricated brass helicoid sliding, a "twack" of a mirrorless shutter release and an even tension in the film advance lever makes me orgasm.
