oh icic..!  Well.. by all means.. I am Canadian, but US resident just in case =P

My puchasing for this Camera has been qutie 15/20 this time..!

I was originally looking into buying a D3, but decided I'll rather wait for the D3X.

After I decided not to buy from local, I was at Portland & columbia Gorge 2 weekends ago..!  I went to 3 camera shops there, and was prepare to buy the 1DsM3.  The 2 stores which don't have it suggest me to try out another pro shop.  Called them up, they said they have 3 in stock.., turned out they have nothing but the demo, and their inventory is off...!  Kind of disappointed, cuz I called before we drove there!

This week.. I was surfing the web (I think I was on price grabber 1st, then came across this unreal.. price.., did the search at dpreview.., and think they should be reliable enough!  So, I am really lucky that I didn't buy it local, and @ portland =P

Now..it's matter of selling one of my other camera..!  The 5D is my backup.., so I would mostly likely keep my 1DsM2 as a backup and sell the 5D.

Um ..  possible problem for you now ..  

The CONTROL for the 1DSIII and 1DSII are TOTALLY different!! their setting..  etc .. so it would be quite difficult for you, if you use the 1DSIII for wedding, and use the 1DSII as back up ..  just when you interchange lens, then when u want to adjust something on the 1DSIII ( which is good and smart ) and then you want to adjust something on the 1DSII ..  very different !!

I know you also using Nikon and Canon 2 system, howeverm at least you "EXPECT" Nikon body and Canon bodies are so different to use .. but between DsII and DsIII ..  they look so similar .. and you expect they are simailer .. but their control menu ..  just day and nite!!

yeah.. I already play around it quite abit..!  I am sure it takes some time to adjust.., but I think it will be easier than 5D, cuz I like the top wheel to use for changing aperture at both M and A mode, and default Canon use the top wheel for shutter, and 5D won't allow you to switch it.

The few setting I have to change often would be shutter/aperture/mode/ISO/flash&regular exposure compensation.. that's about it...!
