I guess many people would like the Eos3 - 1V offering....two superb cameras but slightly different market orientation. I have both and I suspect the 'relationship' between these two cameras is far stronger than the 5D..1D series cameras.
Personally, I feel the 10D is a better built body than the 5D...and the 40D is a higher spec camera than the 5D (sensor size excluded of course).

What's Canon missing is a middle body between 5D Mark II and the 1D series.
They've been missing a tweener since day one. Face it the 5D II is the best tweener we'll get and the 3D will never see the light of day. It took Nikon to build a 3D in the D700.
1. They add weight.
2. Most of the time I do not shoot vertical.
3. Even if I do, I can handle the non-gripped camera perfectly fine.
4. Because I have to buy an integrated grip camera for superior AF!

Local camera rep asked me today if I wanted to be placed on the list for the new 1D Mark IV. I said "sure, why not". I thought he was messing with me. He then said that he had heard from the regional rep that a new one was imminent. Makes sense with Spring coming up and the KY Derby which has been dominated by Canon cameras until last year when most the lens you saw were Black.
