Interesting this one Ian. I saw a review of the EOS1Ds in Amateur Photographer in the library a couple of weeks ago.
It was an OK review, but who would test a high quality digicam with an optimum ISO of 100 by photographing Greyhound racing at night? I emailed the editor asking if perhaps their conclusion that the camera was nearly as good as film was perhaps inaccurate? I have to admit to being wicked in asking if they would test Fuji Velvia / Provia in the same way (i.e. night time dog racing). Couldn't resist it! His reply was illuminating if only for the arrogance displayed: Dear Nick Thanks for taking the time to write with your view of Damien's review on the Canon 1Ds. I have to say that I completely disagree with your assertion that this camera can produce images that are superior to 35mm film, let alone 120. It is not technically true, although I fully accept that you may believe from your own assessment that it is the case.
