Hey everybody,
I like to fantasize and wish for things too in new equipment, but am not really enthusiastic about paying for new bodies.
Yes there are things that can improve the 1DS II, that has been covered in length by more eloquent individuals.
But hey, every camera has its positives and negatives, we make our descisions based on preferences and shooting styles and adapt. The 1DS II has been a great camera for how and what I shoot, no real problems that have been disasterous, a real reliable workhorse if you maintain it regularly, keeps on ticking!
We can go on and on about what is better etc. the price as value per usable and valuable images, really make it.
I have shot with Zeiss lenses, as well as Nikon and some lot of Leica, as well as Blad lenses and an assortment of Rodenstock and Schnieder glass, and wish that Canon would get it's act together to produce usable wide angle lenses (both zoom and fixed!). I hope that this is what they have in mind and not just a new 1DS III, I do not really care about that right now, maybe later I will change my mind about it, just give me glass that can match the sesor's performance and I would be one very satisfied individual.
