I know this is based on specs and previews, but anyhow....

In the UK a 1DIV and a 5D3 (with grip) aren\'t too far apart price-wise, so is there actually any reason to take the 1D over the 5D? I actually put in an order a couple of days ago for the 1DIV but have swapped it for a 5D3 preorder.

5D3 has advantages:

22MP
Digic 5
FF
Low noise apparently

1DIV has advantages:

Slightly better weather sealing
A few more fps
Dedicated processor for AF

Both have:
Vertical shutter button (when grip is used)
61-pt AF

So, unless you NEED 10fps over 6fps, only shoot with telephotos or plan on working in a shower, surely the new-tech of the 5D3 is a no-brainer? Have I missed something?


As far I remember 1D IV has 45 AF points ...?
