Perhaps a used body with some life left. It might fill in until your expected Canon ship comes in and serve as a backup after that. Hopefully, one lens outfit will fit both.

hi
i am selling my 1ds mark2 on ebay right now, i love it but i finally got some money for a MF back.
i think holding on to a8MP canon is worth it, but would consider other choices for more res.
many people dont like the canon wide angle lenses. i personally have shot canon since day one and love the system. i would really like to see canon develop some digital glass for their cameras, and what the future holds for canon doesnt intrigue me. i think the format is preatty much maxed out for res now.
that P20 would be a great choice, even cropped down. i have often heard that a lower MP MF back is a much better file than a 1ds2.
cant beat the big viewfinder on 645...the canon sometimes gives me problems..even the MF backs that have a 1.3 crop on them is not that bad of a crop, just a little on the edge, the 1.1x crop backs are practically FF 645, just a hairline literally.
one the Phase one line the P30, P21 are 1.3x, the P 25, P45 are 1.1x.
save the 1ds money towards a back and a good 8MP rig for the moment will get you by.
