I started my professional work with this Camera, and now I own two of them. The make excellent backup Cameras.
Pros: Simple to use, lightweight, and very inexpensive compared to the competition. I got a used black one for $500 a year ago, but today you can probably find them even cheaper. Great warm skin tones when photographing people.
Cons: From my experience, the on-board flash is very faulty. During my trip to Japan, mine broke and refused to open. Of course, all the other functions still worked fine, and I was still able to take any kind of picture but just without the flash.
Technique: Outdoors, I mostly rely on the auto matic setting (green square). In the studio, I use the manual setting.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II 16.7MP Digital SLR Camera: By Peter Albrektsen
Great Camera. Here is what I feel are the pros and cons of the Camera.
Pros: 16.7 megapixels, more than most people need. Super long battery life. Super strong, water resistant body. Both SD and CF card readers.
Cons: Just about the heaviest camera out there. When photographing people, the skin tone comes out looking a little bit pale.
Technique:
I like using the Av (aperture priority mode) the most. This lets me control how in or out of focus I want the background to be. When I am using this setting, I like to make sure the shutter speed is set to 1/125 of a second or above so I can be sure the image will no be blurry. As well, I make sure that the iso is set at 50 if possible to reduce the noise as much as possible. When I shoot for stock photography this very important. Pictures with lots of noise are sure to be rejected.
