Canon 1Ds in plural?

ckiang · 16th December 2002

Hi,

Just stumbled upon this (ok, a fellow photog brought it up over ICQ first).

What's the plural of 1Ds?

"I have 2 Canon 1Ds" (= I have two Canon 1D(plural) or I have two Canon 1Ds (the 11mp SLR) ?

Or??

Regards
CK

Its EOS-1Di

As in plural of Hippopotamus is Hippopotami; or plural of radius is radii.

On the other hand, can also use Hippopotamuses or radiuses altho they sound a bit funny.

Well, since its not on the vote, I say its EOS-1Di .... as in "I can't believe I have TWO EOS-1Diiiiiiayaiayaiayayayaiii ... and took out a 2nd mortgage on my house to buy them

"

Singular = "unaffordable"
Plural = "unaffordables"

To think Canon came up with such a name.....

Red Dawn posted same in dpreview.com, results were more interesting:

Person with one 1Ds = more money than me
Person with two 1Ds's = has too much spare cash

and

Quote:

If someone has one 1Ds, he has one great camera,

He who owns more than one 1Ds has a camera store.

Ah, a teacher is a teacher. That sounds about correct.

To be more precise...

"Can I have 2 Canon EOS 1Ds cameras?"
