    Which lens is with it. Certainly it is a very good camera albeit a bit dated.

    The Canon EOS-1D is a 4-megapixel professional digital single-lens reflex camera launched in November 2001. It was Canon's first professional-level digital camera developed and released by themselves, the previous D2000 being a collaborative effort with Kodak. It has a 1.3x crop factor with a CCD image sensor sourced from Panasonic. The camera shares its body design with the Canon EOS-1V 35mm camera (with the additional battery grip attached). It was succeeded by the 1D Mark II in January 2004.

    in short it will do but the file sizes will be small compared to more modern cameras.

    For a couple of hundred euro, if I were noob (as you put it) I'd pick up an entry level DSLR with a kit lens.

    Is it the €375 one you're looking at on Adverts? If so, there's a 400D on there with two lenses for €25 less (and if that's too far away location-wise, the seller may consider posting, if you offer him the full 25 (as there's not much chance of shipping costing that much, so he'd be getting more than his asking).


    For a beginner, there are much better cameras to be had. Nothing against the 1D now or anything, but I can't really see it benefitting you as much as an entry level with a lens. Also, the 1D doesn't have a pop-up flash. If you get into photography properly you'll learn to hate pop up flash, but it's still useful if you've no flashgun.


    There's also a 1000D with lens in Dublin for €350.


    Just my own opinion on it :)
