Since I don't do this full time and I am doing a small of amount of weddings and events I can't justify selling this body and then dumping another 2-3k. I mean the specs look awesome, but why would you? Just curious.

If the AF works, this will also rock for indoor sports nuts. 5D2, 24-105L, 85mm f/1.8, MP960, HG21, crumbling G6+R72, Brownian toddler

The only concern I have is putting all my eggs in one basket, because if the camera fails, I won't have a backup. My feelings too... I have the 1D4/5D2 pair. Although I protested disinterest a couple of days back, the double CF, double joystick, compatible battery requirement plus 7D interface has me considering switching to a single, do-everything camera... Several cameras and more glass than I will admit to.

We use to have a choice on whether we wanted to pay extra for a pro FF body. Now we don't. They merged but kept the 1Ds price. I love Canon equipment but that is just greedy.
