Well, I can call it a piece of **** that it is and if I really wanted to I
could order one for each hand and have both of them paid off when the
credit
card statement arrives at the end of the month.  Your point being?  Oh, I
wonder why Canon shooters are dumping the 1D Mk III and 1Ds Mk III in
favor
of the D3?

Why?  It's stupid paying $8K for a crippled camera when a few more skins
will buy you a sweet Hassy.  If Nikon makes the same mistake as Canon they
will piss me off.  Nikon won't be stupid enough to make an $8K white
elephant.
