As you can already see, there are several. It appears as if Canon really did an internal gut-washing, and just totally streamlined the processes, while enabling more precise control. 1D 1D MK II Imager Type CCD CMOS MSRP $5500 (September 2001)..... $4500 (April 2004) Imager Size 28.7mm x 19.1mm 28.7mm x 19.1mm FOV Crop 1.3 1.3 Total MP (tMP) 4.48MP 8.5MP Effective MP (eMP) 4.15MP 8.2eMP File Sizes 1) Large/Fine: ~2.4MB (2463x1648) 2) Large/Normal: ~1.3MB (2463x1648) 3) Small/Fine: ~1.1MB (1232x824) 4) RAW: ~4.8MB (2496x1662) 1) Large: 2.8MB (3504×2336) 2) M1: 2.2MB (3104x2072 3) M2: 1.7MB (2544x1696) 4) S: 1.0MB (1728x1152) 5) RAW: 8.3MB (3504x2336) Buffer 12 JPEG / 16 RAW 40 JPEG / 20 RAW Flash System E-TTL E-TTL II ISO Dynamic Range 200-1600 Manual: 100 / 3200 100-1600 Manual: 50 / 3200 White Balance Hybrid External AWB No longer necessary WB Compensation None 9 levels for Blue-Amber 9 levels for Magenta-Green WB Bracketing 3 shots required Single Shot Color Space 5 levels 5 levels Color Saturation None 5 levels Color Tone None 5 levels Shutter Speed 30sec - 1/16000sec 30sec - 1/8000sec Shutter Life 150,000 cycles 200,000 cycles AF Processors 1 RISC Microprocessor 2 RISC Microprocessors Output Reading 2 Channels (DIGIC) 8 Channels (DIGIC II) LCD Monitor Size 2" 2" LCD Resolution 120,000 230,000 Storage Type II Slot Type II Slot, SD Slot Data Loss Protection Not Available Writing resumes when media door is closed Write Speeds 3.2MB/sec 5.0MB/sec Power NP-E3 (1650 mAh NiMH) NP-E3 (1650 mAh NiMH) Video-Out No Yes LCD Magnification No Yes Dimensions 156 x 157.6 x 79.9mm 156 x 157.6 x 79.9mm Weight w/NP-E3 1585 g (3.49 lb) 1565 g (3.45 lb) 1.
