Well, I shot the 1Ds2 side by side several times with the old 1Ds. The clients picked the 1Ds files every time. Must be bad karma.
I prefer to go with the clients, they're female so they know good fashion color when they see it.
BTW, I did try the 1Ds3 and was very impressed with the file quality. However the focus of both cameras I tested was less than precise.

i agree with edmund....the 1dsII made me give up DSLR for a while....i did not even give the dsIII a chance because of that....i really think the dsIII is what the dsII should have been....i never liked the files from the dsII....i mean they are great but everything about them was just a little too much below the DMF backs in terms of file quality....skintones, (tones in general) gradations, highlights....
i really think the dsIII fixed all this.....
i am not sure why any of these problems wold come up again with the 5D...just does not make any sense to me....i am pretty sure i will get one.....my only concern is that the files will be a little too much like the nikonD3, which is great but seems to be optimized for pure high asa shooting.....i like a clean 1200asa just like the next guy but i really need a nice 100asa.......
