Lol at his last comment on that blog:
"Well you know how the guys on DPreview like to pixel peep. The funny thing is that those that do pixel peep are often the least talented photographers...now why do you think that is??
Have you also noticed the pixel peeping is done by mainly male photographers? Any shrinks out there who would like to comment on this phenomenon??"

If pixel peeping is all you do then maybe that's a problem, though if someone wants that as a hobby I really don't see why not.
If it's part of knowing your gear and verifying it performs as it should, than I see no reason to scoff at it. Ignorance [of your gear's performance] is not a crime but on the other hand not really something to be proud of either.

There are exceptions, of course (gender differences aren't black and white, but run a range of grays), but in general men are the hunters (focused on details / thinkers) and women are the gatherers (multi-taskers / feelers). Women will ask "Does it work?" Men will ask "How does it work?" This Mars/Venus complimentarity is wired into our brains, but is sometimes shifted through socialization/education.
I recall once back in my bodyguard/chauffer days, a client wanted to see the Hiram Chittenden Locks on the Ballard ship canal. He and I stood and watched the boats comming into the locks, tying off, the lock filling...
His wife got bored after 10 minutes and walked around.
She saw the gardens, the salmon in the fish ladder, talked to the locals for restaurant recommendations, etc. We on the other hand now know how the locks work, and in the unlikely event we should ever have to lock through (neither of us owns a boat), by golly, we'll be prepared.

Peep shows have always been a male obsession
The reason for pixel peeping is pixels are female; we want as many of them as possible but we don't like their noise...

Ascough just listed both of his 1dsMarkIII's for sale, he must be awfully confident in the 1d4....and to give up full frame too.

What everyone here seems to forget is that Jeff has been primarily using the 5DII. It's pretty easy to sell gear you aren't using much, especially when it carries the 1DsIII value. It does seem that he has a lot of confidence in the Mark IV. I'm just ready to see mine.

Decent? When I went to PDN I saw images Canon shot and printed on site at 1600-10000 ISO that looked absolutely stunning. I know there has to be a few others here that saw them too.

We'll have more to look at by Christmas. We all may not have cameras in hand, but there will be more images widely available (I suspect within 7 days).
