I would love to but not at $7k.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Depending on the price, but will sell all my cameras, plus a few lenses for this.

And also, depending on a few preview/reviews too ;)

Nope not me. I don't need the video, high ISO or the extra fps. What I need is more MP's, so I'll wait until Canon releases a new 1Ds model.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

I cant see any serious non-pro upgrading to this body...
Knowing that any real tech in this body with trickle down, paying 7k for this body is crazy for prosumer...

Who cares? :confused: Prosumer cameras are just that. Prosumer. Canon 1D AF still reigns even to this day. :lol:

1Ds AF destroys any non 1D canon body i've used.... but Nikon AF on even lesser bodies is much more accurate in my use... and it wont cost me 7K.

I've shot Nikon too and it has it's quirks too. That doesn't mean it's greener on the other side. For my own personal reasons, Canon works for me and Nikon works for you. ;)

Specs are fantastic, hopefully 5D III will be somewhat similar (stripped down of course).
