The 1D is also faster (8.3fps vs 6.5fps), has an SD card slot, and a better viewfinder.
How much is the 1D you're looking at? I'd also consider a 7D if it's in the same price range. I have one and love it. It'll have comparable AF, noise levels and speed. It also does video, if you're into that.

The 1D is $1000, so it's a bit cheaper than the 7D, with 10,000 actuations. Pretty solid deal.

I would take a photo of my camera, but I don't think it has that feature.

So I picked up a Raynox dcr-250 which I am going to couple with my Tamron 90mm to get more magnification for my macro. The Raynox is a great little add on that can give a normal lens the ability to shoot macro. I have read coupling it with a true macro lens can give quite interesting results. I will post some pics when I can.

My 18-200 VR has gone for warranty service. I am currently lensless.

I ended up going with the 1D mkiin. I love it so far, except the weight. I also have a 17-40 f/4L which is great! When do we start a photo-nerd club and gather in a location to take shots?

I am already part of one such club (outside of CP).

I've thought about organizing a photo walk, but not until things start to turn green. I'm sure we could get a decent group together.
The 17-40 was my first L lens and I love it. I can only imagine how well it does on a full frame camera. I'm anxiously awaiting the 5D mkIII to see if it's worth upgrading to so I can find out.

I'd be interested, depending on the timing

My 1D is only a 1.3x unfortunately, but still a huge difference from 1.6x. It wasn't until the DS series that they became full frame. I have no idea the 5D was coming out with an mkIII, that's exciting!
Maybe in the summer, when all the snow has been banished we can organize something.

I know the Tokina 11-16mm is very popular here. They've just announced a new version.
http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/01/t...ens-announced/
I'm in the market for an ultrawide lens. I've rented the Canon 8-15mm fisheye for shooting skateboarding, but it's a stop slower, and even wider than I need. The biggest problem I've had with third party lenses is focusing speed. Canon L series USM lenses focus lightning fast and I'm wondering if the Tokina would keep up, especially when tracking a moving subject.

Wonder how it'll compare to the old one. Hopefully it's better or I can get the old one on clearance.
