LOL... I'm in the same boat. Funny how when I bought my 1Ds it was the
absolute ultimate digital SLR, only the second coming could be bigger
news. Now it is just another old digital camera, surpassed in image
quality by even the "lowly" 5D. I am very anxious to see DP Review
tests on the new 1Ds. I really wish they would compare it to the
original to see just how far advanced it is, but it will likely only be
compared to the Mark II. Still, that will be a good comparo, as I never
felt the Mark II was really *that* much of an improvement over the
first 1Ds. It appears the new camera has the command and set wheel like
my old D60, which I far prefer to the two handed dancing I have to do
with my 1Ds to change menu settings. Along with double the MP count, I
am hoping noise control will be MUCH better than with the original 1Ds,
plus the huge 3 inch monitor will be a vast improvement over the TINY
screen on my current camera.
Hummm... B-H does offer a payment plan!
