UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Folks.
I have been looking to get a FF camera for a while now, I didn't want a body without AFMA ruling out a 5D, I think I heard a few people say the 6D AF is an improvement over the 5D II and I have seen enough complaints about the 6D for action to not bother with that one.
I have the opportunity to buy a 1Ds III for a good price, is there any good reason other than the 1Dx not to.
I use both my main bodies with a grip, so size and weight is not a concern, in fact I have large hands and find the smaller bodies uncomfortable to use. Don't do much video, and 7D does that to the level I desire.
I will have a very short time, a few minutes, to check for any obvious problems, in the pictures it looks nice and clean and unmarked so that is a good start, the serial no is visible in the pictures, on line for 2 weeks and more, so I'm guessing it would have been spotted if it was hot. Anywhere I can check the serial so that I have done due diligence against receiving stolen property. I like to trust people but I also can't afford not to be careful on a purchase like this.
Will the AF be an improvement over a 7D, or at least as good?
I shoot cars, planes, people (relatives and friends), pets, birds, all sorts.
Thanks in advance for the sharing of knowledge almost certain to follow.
Cheers, Graham.
