Okay.... Okay.... UNCLE! ! !

I just ordered my 1D MkII about 5 minutes ago. :)

Now I have to go apply dry ice to my credit card in anticipation of it bursting into flames! :twisted:

Thanks Jim... Your remarks on the improved sports shots in another thread put me over the edge. :lol:

Anyone interested in my 1D with a BG-ED3 battery grip w/extra batteries and chargers after my 1D-MkII arrives? My wife is going to shoot me! ! !

Interesting that Canon says:

AF speed, accuracy:
Mark II: Excellent
1D and 1Ds: Good

How's 10D? :twisted:

Also that they removed "Pattern Sharpness" setting from Mark II.

The MkII has split the work load of the onboard CPU (or "chip" ) into two distict and seperate CPUs.

One handles everything else,. and the new second CPU is dedicated to too Auto Focus ONLY :shock:

Is it time to put the lawn chair in the front yard yet? I want to position my lumpy self in the best possible place to insure the earliest possible delivery. Is the latest word still mid-April?
