Hi Bob. Are you by any chance related to the same Bob Croxford with whom I had many a debate about the quality of digital images , especially about resolution ? :-) . I think we should be told ! Seriously though.If you think that the 1ds produces better quality than 10x8 film , then imagine the quality achieved with a much larger chip , dedicated digital lenses and selective focus ( can use wider apertures for required depth of field and thus sharper images,true perspective correction etc etc). The more things change , the more they stay the same. As I said , so many times before , the Canon is a fine camera, and you can put it into a small bag and carry it easily up a mountain etc etc. But for many advertising shoots , it just doesn't do tthe business in the same way as a back with movement , multishot , digital lenses and cooling. And that's one of the harsh realities. BTW I've had the chance to run the 1ds against the 54 , cos we were looking to buy one ,and may still do so. So the above is based on observation , not opinion.
