Thanks for that!

I am waiting another week or so to get it. . . . . REALLY want the 1Dx, though! The mkIII is going to do me wonders, I feel, when I shoot my first wedding this April! The AF and ISO came JUST in time haha

Bosman/Kevin, thanks for the hook up. I'm one of those guys who now has a MKIII on the way from Norman camera!

Really appreciate you sharing the love.

the 1dx is the one i want because it fits the sports and weddings category without breakin a sweat but i can get two 5d m3's for 1 1dx. I am wondering what to do, the cash for a second body isnt there. I am tempted to sell my 1dm3. I have seen some lacrosse images that i guys shot and they looked really good! He claims all the shots hit the mark. Im just used to the tank and the 10FPS so not sure how well the 5DM3 would hold up shooting a marathon...

Well as far as your 1D3 goes, sell it now and save for a 1Dx. . . It should, by all accounts be a beast when you consider AF,ISO and fps. Wait for the dpreview and DXOmark scores, if you must. 5DmkIII as backup to your 1Dx is a KILLER system! You'd be set for 10years, at least! I wish I had your 'problem' Looks like a 1Dx for me in the fall/winter. . . . .
