Hard for me to get excited about this, certainly not to the point of replacing my 1Ds MarkIII. FPS is nice for the sports, wildlife photographers, unimportant for the landscape and architecture I do. More ISO unimportant for me, I never go above 800 anyhow and almost never go even that high. Don\'t know enough about DIGIC 5 to now how significant it would be. All in all there are some nice refinements but not the blockbuster I was expecting four years after the 1DsIII was introduced and the price seems really high for what it is. The only thing that might tempt me would be if after a year or so of experience there\'s a general consensus that IQ is noticeably better than the 1DsIII.
Seems kind of funny or ironic or weird or something that Canon originally was the big mpx company, Nikon was the less mpx, better noise company. Then Nikon joined Canon with more mpx at the high end. Now Canon joins former Nikon with fewer mpx.
