Geez. People can have a difference of opinion without it being labeled DPR.
I am trying to make a decsion now. I pre-ordered a 1D Mark III when they were announced but cancelled when the AF issues surfaced and bought a 1D mark IIN instead.
Now I am looking for a backup to or replacement of my 1D Mark IIN as primary. I was very unhappy to have to have had to make such a decision - I had hoped a 1D Mark III could last me a long while in terms of IQ and ability to capture action. I shoot wildlife at 400-700mm and action so I want a high frame rate and fine detail IQ. I am leery of the 1D Mark III, but don\'t see any viable Canon alternatives (50d or 5D mark II). So I am thinking of a gradual shift to Nikon d300 or D3, though it would be very costly because of the long glass, and I might have to give up bird photgraphy for a while.
Any sage advice?

Being that you asked, Wait until Feb and PMA before making any decisions.
Not that is sage. It is quite far off though, I hope I don\'t get ants in my pants (you can tell I\'m no pro).
