I upgraded to the MK III and decided it wasn't the camera for me. Downgraded and couldn't be happier. We're talking about the 1D3, right?

I haven't upgraded yet but I will soon most likely. I'm seeking a higher resolution full frame replacement for the 1D Mark II I've had for almost eight years. Which option do I pick?

Why is it you feel you need to bash people that bought a 5D3 in ever thread and defend the 5D2 like its your kid?

Your poll just shows how jaded and biased you are.

Excuse me if I don't waste any more of my time trying to justify a purchase to someone that is just going to try an manipulate everything into "the 5D3 sucks and the owners don't have a clue and just throw money at gear."

I bought it from 500D because it was the best all-round camera for me.
I don't see that option in your "Poll" :cry:

WHY AM I BEING HATED??
I'll go cry in the corner now... maybe throw myself over the bridge... I don't know... I feel so bad about my mistake now...

Lets be serious guys; obviously the OP hasn't done his research. This is why I upgraded:

How can you NOT choose the mkIII over the mkII? CPS doesn't even service the mkII anymore LOL, silly OP

None of the options fit me.

I have the money
The 5DIII will be mine at some point because of the AF, especially in low light (ND filters, fast primes)
I'm in no hurry

Go ahead, spin the wheel.
