Thanks. But I'm not talking about "caps and straps" I'm talking about parts...like

the card reader for an eos 1d, or mirror, shutter, etc..

Thanks Puppy, but that link is just for a aprts list. I want a service manual.

Also does anyone know where I can buy individual parts?? Do I have to make

friends with a repair shop? Can anyone order parts from Canon?

thanks

Blower brushes do just that....blow the dust around, and don't remove it, And

there is more chance of adding more than you are taking away.

 

hope this helps someone

No one seems to mentioning the "save for web" feature this will give you all

the jpeg options, as well as gif. You can also create a web photo gallery, if

you have a group you are working with. Or under the file menu do a batch

process. You will first have to create an action. Just record the steps for one

image, then apply them to your batch.. Better yet get the new version of PS

8.0, and your able to save as Raw Tiff, jpeg all at once......look up Dr. Browns

scripts..

Hi there . I would like to get a copy of the 1D service manual.

I already have the parts list. I know soomeone has this! Please contact me.

Thanks

Thanks For all the responses.

The main reason for this is to be in the field, and get away from $120.00

canon batteries and or get away from DCB that is $340.00+/-

 

My main concern would be getting the voltage/amprage right, as not to

damage the camera, What about adapting already existing battery packs/

charging systems....ie cordless drill etc.

 

Weight isn't really a concern, as it can be hung from the tripod, or worn in a

backpack.

Hi there.

I am about to purchase a EOS 1d.

It appears that the batteries are just 12 vlt dc .

Has anyone made, or know of a home made solution for an external battery

pack.

I know about the "digital battery" http://www.digitalcamerabattery.com/

I don't really want to spend $400.00+ on a battery. Is there a way to make my

own, or adapt say a cordless drill system, that already has a charger...etc.

Looking for a home brew solution.

Thanks

Hi there. Just so you know there is a strange beast out there. I believe it is

from a company called novaflex. It is a mount that allows you to use Nikon

lens on a EOS body, and not loose your infinity focus. There hard to find, but

they are out there. I had the same dilema when I switched to canon...I didn't

want to sell my 600/f/4, and have to replace it in Canon..Good luck!

I own the 14mm, and have had great results with it. I haven't owned the less expensive models so I can't give you a direct comparrison. It holds it's value, and you get what you pay for!

Keith could you please expand on your post as to the new model to replace the 1D

Ie target price source of info ..megapixels..etc thanks Daren

I'm very interested
