Looks awesome for bird and sports shooters...wishful thinking it was 1.3 or full frame eh?
Oh well, still saving for a 1dmk3 or a 5d2, Still, looks like a super fun camera

Looks pretty nice. AI Servo II, Hmm, that's a good sign.

Looks great, although 18MP in an APS-C sensor seems like they are really packing them in...
10-12MP with everything else the same would have been sweet, especially at the higher ISO levels.
I didn't see a price, but I don't see this replacing the 1DIII any time soon, for me at least.

Nice. Looks good. Sucks that it's 1.6, but hey you know what, if the AF is the shiznit in it, and it does better than my 40D, I'll probably get one.

Looks great. A real step forward. As some have asked for, a baby 1D cam.

Awesome. 
All 19 AF points are like 1-series AF (AI Servo II AF.. whatever that is), with each point being a cross-type sensor at f5.6 or faster. Wow...
From Canon's press release:
Also, a time-saving feature is AF Point Switching, which allows photographers to select and register one AF point for horizontal compositions and a second AF point for vertical shooting, ideal for studio and portrait photographers.
Now THAT is useful!!
Ooh, and with the wireless device, you can geotag your images with an external GPS unit over bluetooth. Clever.

No need to purchase after market "focus" screens!! Now just a push of a button will do the trick! Thank you, Canon.
Looks to be a nice camera....

A very impressive camera. Canon stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game. The future looks bright in Full Frame world too. A 5D Mark 2n with some of these features is most likely in the offing.....soon hopefully.
Bravo Canon.........nice to see you back on top.

Isn't the actual retail price (street) lower than MSRP most of the time? Is this really going to sell for $1499-1599?

Not entirely convinced this camera is a "grand slam" let alone a game winning walk off. We've yet to see the real world samples or hear real world experiences.

No. Canon stopped that practice. B&H will sell this for 1699.
BTW. more sample shots at Rob galbraith. High ISO looks good.......fine grain till ISO 1600...
