Ah, yep. I try and avoid NI and CR like the plague.
Though, admittedly, I do digest second-hand information on DPR.
No doubt, the 1Ds systems and the 1D Mark IV are beautiful machines. I've seen some absolutely astounding wildlife/BIF stuff with the 1D Mark IV. Unreal.
The 1DX promises another stop of cleanliness over the 5D Mark III. That will be insane to see.
Cheers!
