I know there is a huge difference between the 2. My question with all the hype of problems and fixes, which do you feel is the more dependable camera. As many of you know I like wildlife and birds as my favorite subjects. So the choice there would lean towards the Mark III but really the 1Ds offers 5 fps which will still do a very nice job for birds in flight. I feel if you know what your doing and do not just like the machine gun picture taking, either camera would perform. I use the Mark IIn now which I really like. I feel there are pro and cons with both these cameras. I would like to hear from some real users of both cameras and here your thoughts of reliablity in the field. I sure IQ will be better from each vs. the Mark IIn. Maybe the thoughts would be even wait for new models. I would love to hear some thoughts.
