I do event photography, and I've been drooling over the 8.5 frame/sec of the 1D Mark II ever since it's release. Well...the company I work for was just bought by Yahoo! and my stock options cashed in...hello 1D MarkII (and a 16-35 f/2.8 L for good measure)!!!

All Ican say is wow...this camera rocks! The 1D series focus system is just kick ass and the shooting speed...ooooohhhhhh.....

I still love my 10D and will keep it as a back up, but again...all I can say is wow. I'm gonna be in NYC this weekend, and I can't wait to open this thing up. My wife and dog are a little tired of me taking test shots to get custom settings all worked out.

Heh! Congratulations. You never really believe half what 1-D owners say about their cameras.

Until you have one.

They are truly, truly amazing.
