canons first pro digital camera

well there is the canon EOS D2000, EOS DCS 3 branded kodak cameras.
but it´s the first real canon that´s right.

aps-h(1.3crop), panasonic ccd, 4 megapixels, 1/16000 shutter, 1/500 sync speed, the camera that made canon what it is today :'(

makes you wonder why this is the ONLY canon camera with a X-sync speed of up to 1/500s and a shutter speed of up to 1/16000s.

No it didn't come with that lens or any lens for that matter. The raw files are .tif not .cr2 so that's different. I need a new compact flash card because it only can use up to 2gb and the only one I have that's 2gb or less is 128mb lol! Only getting 32 shots on 128mb raw, kinda feels like film! Took a couple shots last night to make sure it worked and it does but tonight I will take some real shots I can share! Shots I did take look amazing with my pancake lens. RLphoto I saw a post where you had shots with your d30 it inspired me to get one of these oldies! Keh has a couple d30's for 50-70 dollars might get that too!

Because the EOS 1D has a CCD image sensor, whereas subsequent models have a CMOS image sensor. With a CCD sensor, the 'shutter' can be electronic (for example, PowerShot G15 has a 1/2000 s Xsync speed; most P&S cameras have no mechanical shutter). A CMOS sensor needs to be in the dark during readout, so a mechanical shutter is required, and that's where the shutter speed and Xsync limitations come into play. Also note that those limits apply to focal plane shutters - leaf shutters (in the lenses for many medium format systems) allow much higher X-sync speeds.

B&H has a used one for sale and has all the original marketing text, including highlights such as:

  • The fastest digital SLR in the world: 8 fps (for up to 21 frames) at full-resolution and highest quality JPEG setting.
  • Shooting is prioritized - return to shooting even when displaying a recorded image.

;D

Thank you for showing me that a wonderful affordable pro camera is a great way to enjoy this hobby. Here I am fussing about having to save up 3K for a DIII. I could see having a great time with an older pro Canon.
