Felt like such a newbie, that or I'm starting to get really old. Last two photoshoots, I thought I was using my 1DsII and 1DIII combo, turns out I just realized I was using a 1DII and 1DIII.
This did make me think about a few things. 1) the 1DII still holds it's own. 2) How on earth did I mistaken a 1.3x for a FF? That's beyond me. I really should put a big fact sticker on my cameras. And today, shooting in the rain, I wanted to bring my 1DII, and I took my 1Ds II by accident!
@bruce, that's actually an excellent idea. It was a semi hurried situation, I was running late. And once I got there things started happening and it was pretty hectic. Blue painter's masking tape, for the win.
One of my favorite things about the Mark IV is that it has a silver hotshoe. This makes it really easy to tell apart from my Mark IIn, which has a black hotshoe. ;-)

One of the more telling posts I've read in a long time. Yes, the 1D II definitely holds its own compared to the newcomers. And your accident/experience pretty much supports my notion that good DSLRs are more alike than different. I've been using a 1D II alongside a 5D for a few months now and couldn't be happier. The 1D II is still a stellar camera.

Don't replace your 1d2n with a 1d3 then, they're also silver on top.
