Canon EOS Forum: 5D vs 1Ds mk II ? Autofocus Performance
know that both the 5D and 1Ds mkII have better AF performance than the 20D, but... The shop guy said he's used both a lot and the 1Ds was substantially better in AF for action, but not noticeable in studio....

Canon EOS Forum: Canon 1Ds Mk II vs older Hasselblad: keep or not
I wonder if there is a difference in this regard between 5d and 1Ds2.... The 5D and 1Ds2 certainly less time consuming....

mamiya zd vs 1ds Mk II [Page 1]
7 mp 1Ds MK II in terms of image quality, clarity, and sharpness and its sensor is only a little larger than the mk II's.... It should in theory have better quality, but how much better?...

Nikon D2X Vs 1Ds Mk II [Page 3]
So, should image quality be on par with 1Ds2, it is actually a great camera, and more versatile, faster etc...... In fact, I believe that it will hardly be clearly better than 1Ds....

Nikon D2X Vs 1Ds Mk II [Page 7]
But really, I think the D2x really is between the two [1D & 1Ds] and is a good compromise.... I seems that it is really more targeted at the 1D not 1Ds....

The 17MP files from the 1DsMkII are more than adequate for me.... That would stop Canon cold until Canon could get the 1Ds down to $5000 (which should happen at PMA 2006)....
