Minor point...
The comment that the 1DIII had problems and was replaced by the 1DIV implies that the 1DIII was replaced because of these problems. I don't see it that way. I think the replacement of the 1DIII by the 1DIV was in-step with the natural progression of technical improvements.
Here's the timeline,
3 yr gap, 1D (2001) > 1DII (2004)
1 yr gap, 1DII (2004) > 1DIIN (2005)
2 yr gap, 1DIIN (2005) > 1DIII (2007)
2 yr gap, 1DIII (2007) > 1DIV (2009)
3 yr gap, 1DIV (2009) > 1DX (2012)
The most interesting question for me is, how long until we see what comes after the 1DX? We're at 3 years and counting...
