Oh dear!
I received an email today with an official looking spec list of an EOS 7Ds, amazingly it's also 18mp!
There is no 7Ds. A 7Ds would be know as a 5D Mark II for the most part.
1D Mark 4
A report from Germany cites a salesman at a CPS store in Regensburg as saying a new 1D would be announced next week. Perhaps the salesman was thinking Nikon D3s.

And you are getting a 1d3 to shoot exclusively at 1600?? I don’t understand that at all.even if the 1d4 were to come out the 1d3 is not going below the 7d’s price level.
Your argument is fail all over the place. I just sold my 1d3 for a 7d and am very happy with my purchase.
I was going to address your response, but “full of fail” would be better defined by someone who actually sold a 1D3 for a 7D.
Have you tried the two cameras next to each other? Have you had to send in your 1d3 2 times for AF fixes only to have it come back worse (I compared it to a friends 1d3) and have to get it fixed again?
Only thing the 1d3 had over my current 7d is a few extra external buttons and 2 more fps which I don’t need.
For those who care for a response with facts backing it
1) I like the fact I can choose to use a battery grip or not when i’m just taking my camera out.
2) The new AF so far seems as accurate as my 1d3 (but who knows maybe my 1d3 was STILL off)
3) I like the 18mp and if I don’t like it. The 10 mp sraw is not any worse than the 1d3.
4) My batteries are standardized now since I have a 5d2. That’s a few pounds saved in packing right there
5) Flash Master is GREAT
6) I actually use the video for some of my work so again pairing it with the 5d2 is a wonderful thing.
So Joe? how is that full of fail? I miss the validity of your statement.
Oh yeah and I came up about 900$ from the change that i’ll end up putting toward glass or a 1d4 :).
I’m even happier I made the move after I listed all that stuff.
One thing that I do like that i know others don’t is the extra reach of the 1.6x
Could list out others but i’m pretty sure this is enough. If you ever decide to print your pictures too you would be more than happy with the quality of your 1600 iso pictures on your 7d.
In the end IQ is what counts and I cant justify $1600 dollars for a7D
