I know there's been a lot of talk about this beast, and the gear lust factor is through the roof. I may actually buy one towards the end of the year, although I'm not 100% sure. Having said that, is there anyone here who is definitely getting one for sure? Do you already have a pre-order in place somewhere? If so, what is your reason for getting one (even if it is just because it such a way-cool toy, and you can afford it!)? Let's hear it!

| I have placed my order. They've told me to expect it around the end of May. I have a 3-day Lacrosse competition to shoot in June, so I'm *really* hoping it ships on time! |

Cool! Some people on other forums are posting that they are getting theirs within a week, so evidently they are at least STARTING to ship. Definitely report back and let us know what you think--hopefully with pictures from the Lacrosse competition! |

| Maybe by the time the mark 4 is out, I'll be able to afford the 3... |

I'll definately be getting one, to replace my tired 4Mp 1DMk1 I use for sports.
I have been waiting for the upgrade for the 1DIIN to come out, but Canon have released the 1DIII bit higher here in NZ that I expected, about $7,250 NZ. So I'll be waiting till about August-October before I can order one. Bit of a bummer, but as long as the 1D and 20D hold out it'll be fine. :-).
For what I do it's the logical tool for the job. (I shoot sports for a local paper)
For me it's all about the focusing system, the rest of the features are nice to have but the 1 series focus is miles ahead of anything else IMHO.
Cheers, Me. |

| On that note, check out these videos of pros using the Mark III. Simply amazing! |

| How heavy is it compared to the 30D? I'm just curious. I'm in no danger of getting one. |

| If i didn't save for 600 f4 then definitely i will get MKIII, too bad that i have to wait to next year maybe to afford MKIII, the worst part is that i want to get 400 f2.8L as well, OH MY, how much i will spend just for fun. |
