peter_dendrinos1 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Start caring around a 4x5 camera. All of a sudden, the 1ds is not so big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_dendrinos1 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 i will admit, the 1ds makes the perfect self defense tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conraderb Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Use a saw to make a cut in the body right below the lens. Oh...you wanted it to be a WORKING 1ds? Should have said that earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul - Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Perhaps you could adapt this process from the history of the Shuar:<br><a href="http://www.head-hunter.com/prep.html">"How to Prepare a Shrunken-Head"</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs56 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 HI! I like this tread, I have to ask.. The invasive methods such has gastric bypass surgery and Jivaro Indians shrunken-head will afect the CCD capacity? How about the Megapixels ratio? What to trade your EOS 1Ds for a cell phone or maybe a credit card sized dig-cam? :=)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawz Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Buy a Pentax 67 or Mamiya RZ67 with a basic set of glass. Or get an 8x10. The 1Ds will soon feel small & light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nam_nguyen Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Click on those links in your junk mails. Oops, sorry, I thought you meant enlargement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_baker4 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Smaller, try taking the lens off! To make it lighter, take the battery out. Simple really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Get yourself a Digital Rebel. Then copy the model markings on your 1Ds, remove the markings on the Dreebel, put the copied markings on DRebel, no one (including yourself) will know the difference. And it will be light indeed. While you are at it, I would seriously investigate the possibility of repainting white one of some really small and light lenses. There is no reason to not go the extra mile. When processing the pictures: it is entirely possible to write a script which will automatically re-size your 1MB JPEG (no need to bother with shooting RAW) to the full size that the original 1Ds can produce - and rename it as RAW. Heck, why not to blow it up to 30 Mb - you will have the lightest 1Ds in the universe, with a white lens on it, which will produce 30Mb shots. Oops, seems that I am being carried away...;) But seriously: you did not know the weight and size of the thing on which you shelled out quite a significant sum of money ? I think you need to start reading this post from the beginning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvin_lau1 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thank you for everyone's help and advice. I tried to change the character of the camera by painting it with a coat of black enamel & putting a red dot on the front. The results were unsatisfactory though, as my photographic collection then started to comprise of lots of brick walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
