Enjoy!

Mt Spokane Photography:
I read it earlier today.  He seems enthusiastic about it, but its also obvious that the 5D MK III will suffice for many of us.  He does tell us what works well, and what doesn't.
I think that there seems to be quite a consensus of experienced experts giving a thumbs up.  I was considering one, but decided to buy a new lens instead.  I'm still on the fence about getting another 5D MK III.  There have been some better prices, but those are likely from dealers who took the double down rebates and applied $200 discount to the body and will sell the lenses for full price.  That might mean prices will rise again.

M.ST:
If you are a portrait or landscape photographer get the 5D Mark III (5D Mark II oder 1Ds Mark III) and invest in good lenses.

If you are a sports or wildlife photographer get the 1D Mark IV with 1.3 crop or buy the 1D X and invest in a or in a few supertelephotos.

heptagon:
Sadly, the 1DX won't focus at F/8 so teleconverters are of limited use for wildlife photography.

Also raw noise of the 1DX isn't especially good compared to the 5D3 after factoring in that they lowered the ISOs.

Adrian S.:
I have been waiting to see this review and read it eagerly today. After reading it, and summing up what I need in a camera, I opted for a used 1dMk4 + 5D3 as my combo. Awesome review, but I really feel the 5D3 gives more "bang for your buck" vs the 1Dx.
