Nice Canon, Seems pricey at first glance.

Hmm, I don't think it's that pricey ... not when you think about the amount of technology and engineering in that thing as compared to similarly priced cable

It's less than the 1DS series were, with clearly better performance. The original 1DS sold for $7,000 back in 2003.
The 1-D series pro bodies are considerably more rugged than the "prosumer" series e.g. a Canon 7D or Nikon D700; believe me, I know, I knocked mine about enough (try jumpin' over K-wall at a racetrack sometime with two bodies and a passel of lenses and see if things don't take a hit from to time...)

I look forward to buying a 1D body one day but it won't be this upcoming. Better balance, more rugged. I'm surprised they didn't push the pixel count though with this release. I have a 5D MkII with various Pro lenses & love the 21MP FF format. It also makes for a great movie camera especially with a 16-35mm f2.8 Pro zoom at night!

I know I may sound like a digital luddite about this, but personally, I think the sweet spot for full-frame cameras for image quality is the 12-16 megapixel range, as exemplified in the original 5D. MyPal, have you had any AF problems with the 5D MkII? I shot with one for almost a full day at my last pro motorsports event, and while I like the image quality, the AF was pretty balky in low light. My old warhorse 1D and my 1D MkII have notably superior AF performance. Personally, I thought it was a real mistake to use the same AF in the 5D MkII that was in the 5D. The 7D also has much better AF performance.
