In the update to this article near the bottom in pros and cons
and under the cons it says “Spot-AF and Spot AF can only be activated on the select 7 lenses that have an AF-OFF button”
Anyone know which 7 Lenses he speaks of?

From a new review by Michael Willems:

In general, even an amateur-level Nikon camera offers more customizing settings than a 1-level Canon body, and alas, that has not changed. It seems to me that Canon controls their market by leaving functions out; Nikon expands its market by including extra functions.

This seems to be exactly what this reviewer has found but not outright said. Leaving out features like spot af, and many other updates from the 7D, and much customization in general in their lineups (auto iso still comes to mind)

Planning to switch to the dark side

It’s American – they spell it “rumors”, not “rumours”.

No it’s not just you. I think that’s what the 5D3 rumor is trying to suggests is going to change in a year’s time. We’ll get the full frame performance paired with a pro, or at least (more) pro autofocus system. The 1Ds4 is going to be a beast of a camera, but it comes with a beast of a price. The current 1Ds model is getting long in the tooth.

I do not want in camera cropping nor to mount EF-S lenses on 1.3x camera, but there are several advantages (maybe useful to somebody else):
* faster in camera processing of an image
* faster saving an image to memory card
* later image sequence buffer fill

It seems the high priced 1Ds will be a Canon shooters only option if they want a Full Frame Pro body. I myself think its a F__King disgrace and a ripoff. I have a 5D 1&2 which i use to shoot weddings & Portraits etc and would love a FF probody with Pro autofocus. Is it just me that thinks charging 4 or 5 times the amount of a 5D2 for this extra privilage is justified?????

Yep nice review and slr. To sum it up, pretty much confirms what we all already know which is that this camera was designed specifically for shooting sports. Most likely better performance could be had from nikons range of slr for shooting weddings and events etc due to full frame, that is until the 1Ds IV becomes available. Nothing to get excited about here, will wait for the next 1Ds.

You’re right, the lightrules conversion was meant for the 10D as well -should have looked a little harder. It does raise the question of the mirror size on 1.3x crop bodies and whether it would collide with EFS-EF converted lenses (probably would). All a little bit moot anyway as it would be pretty pointless, I have never heard of anyone regularly using third-party crop frame lenses on their 1.3x or FF bodies. Doubtless this last comment will drag someone out of the woodwork who does!
