If you compare the EOS 1D with its FF equivalent, the EOS 1Ds you will find 
it much more expensive. Here in England the FF Nikon D3x is a bit more 
expensive than a M9 and the EOS1Ds mk3 is a good bit more expensive than 
that.
The EOS 5d is a lower priced item with a lot lower spec than the EOS 1 
series, and seriously simpler AF.
FWIW.
