Yes
When was this discontinued, or upgraded to the 1Ds as there have been a few on lie-bay the last few weeks, going for around £400-£500,

Regards Mark.
 
it was upgraded to the 1dmk2 not 1ds
 
Despite it's age it's still a brilliant camera. Notable for being the only Canon DSLR to use a CCD sensor. This has some benefits over the CMOS sensors used by the current Canon DSLR. As this sensor can be electronically shuttered it has a max shutter speed of 16000/1 compared to the 8000/1 offered by Canon's current range. I also think it might have a higher flash sync speed but I'm not sure.

The 1D can flash sync at 1/500th of a second. I'm unaware of another Canon digital body that can do that.
Whilst the sensor is certainly getting on, do remember that it does still have 1D AF, metering and build quality.
 
have a look in the for sale here, there's one going at a bargain price.
