It seems Nikon stuff is more well design and made. Although, it is slower to adopt to new technologies. I am surprise you can't shoot ISO 640 with a professional camera.
I heard mirror in 5D actually fell off quite often, and their 85 1.2 fell off from the mount as well.
According to some researches, ID3 should be good upto ISO1000 before noise problem gets annoying, 1DsII is about 1200-1400, and 5D2 can go upto ISO1600...
It just depend on how PICKY... , I am just too lazy to go over the software to adjust the noise level...
Having the 1D III for a while, very impressed with the reaction time and accuracy. ...

Ha ? weird wor .. I am fine with it @ even iso 6400 wor ...
Not that I will use those ultra high iso ... I guess depends on how to take the pic la.. if it is under, then boost it .. even low iso, will got high noise..

To be honest, I hardly notice that much of a different/advantage, no matter D300/D700 to 5D/5DII/1D/1Ds series .. noise is not what I concern, may be 1 out of 100 pic, need ultra high iso .. ( I am not a news reporter ) and many way to fix .. (software to REDUCE noise, or even ADD more )
However, I hardly stand the noise level on Sony DSLR .. it's FF 25MP sensor is awesome, and those old minolta lens are great and cheap ... but then .. iso 800 and up .. lots of noise, and not smooth .. and the bigger problem is the flash system isn't as great and flexible.
1DsIV offers much better high iso performance, a shade/tiny improve AF, hardly noticeable.
1DIV can do video too, which is big thing for some.
Hard to tell which has better value .. say back then 1DIII was $5K, 1DsIII was 9K .. HUGE different ... so you pay $4K more for FF(and more noise) but back then, not much choice .. now, more people may prefer to spend $~5K on 1DIV + 3K on 5DII, rather then spend $8K on a 1DsIII (5DII IQ is almost as good as 1Ds3, with better high iso control)
Now, used 1Ds3 (mint/low SC) is around/just under $5k, 1D4 is about the same ... so depends you want FF or movie la...
1Ds4 has been postpone ... As Canon needs to re work on it's marketing position. (as Nikon offers a $5K range FF pro body)
Opps... anyway, back to topic .. see what Ka Ka wants ..
Regarding class. I tried the Langara one. It is not bad at all.
After playing with power pack and light modifiers. You will have basic understanding of light and how to control/use it. It is way more empowering than a new camera. Even you may not be interested in flash photography, but understanding light is the most important thing on the technical side of photography.
Just pass Sat. I went to a restaurant, a waiter chat with me about cameras. He asked how to use a flash, so the foreground and the background are both bright. I explained to him shutter speed controls ambient and aperture control the flash. I demo it with my canon, but found out he uses P mode at all He told me he is thinking to buy 1ds. I suggest him to take a class or google on how to expose properly.
So my money will be spending on taking a class first.
