True, Nikon's bodies are lagging behind by a few years.  That's no problem
since the new D3 is coming out.  Plus, let's not forget what they might
have
in the pipeline.

Let's not get too excited about the 1Ds Mk III just yet.  Lets see how it
handles in real world situations.  I got the 1D Mk III (10 MP) and I must
say it is a sweet body.  I shoot it with Nikkors to get the most out of
the
body.  I got the 500/4L IS a while back and for a $5K lens I'm less than
impressed with it.  As soon as I get my hands on the new 500/4 VR Nikkor
the
white turd known as the 500/4L IS is going on eBay.  No wonder the thing
was
only $5k compared to Nikon's $7k.  The $2k I thought I was saving isn't
worth it.

Nonsense!  I'll put my money on the D3.  I had a 5D a while back and it
was
an overpriced toy.  A great sensor wrapped in a piece of ****.  If Canon
builds the 5D replacement like the Mk III Canon will be invincible.  I
love
the Mk III and feel that was the only *REAL* digital camera Canon ever
built.
