Canon 1D Mk II

29 December 2010,
I have just purchased a slightly battered 1D Mk II.
I am looking forward to taking delivery witin the next week or two, it will be the first time that I have used a D1 and I hope that it lives up to my expectations for speed and quality. I have been studying the manual but I still have a lot to learn.

EOS 1D Mk II reviews

The shutter/mirror click is noisy, but not harsh. Optional mirror noise reduction works really well: when you press shutter release the shot is taken but the mirror is only reverted to original position (slowly) when you raise your finger half way. Excellent feature.

Its shutter is durability-tested to 200,000 exposures, the body is highly weather-resistant with more than 70 gaskets and seals, and the camera's lens mount is made of stainless steel (and is fully compatible with all Canon EF, TS-E and MP-E lenses).
