The 1Ds is a lot slower than the 1D. Also the 5D with a grip is about the same size. But the 645's are a lot closer in build to a 1Ds than a 5D (Which is fairly light in build, being essentially a FF Canon 30D). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
