OK, regarding "picking up both the 1D3 and the 1Ds3, why not just invest in longer glass...", the 1Ds3 (and 5D2, for that matter) actually yields a tighter picture after the outer 11.1 megapixels are cropped away, compared to a native 1D3 exposure on the same lens. As long as one doesn't mind cropping, having the two models yields options that longer glass might not.

Actually I meant to say MKIII...there shouldnt be any confusion as to which body it pertains to in my post. The other I referred to as the 1DsMKIII. If that confused you, I apologize. The longer glass scenario was just a thought and a good one at that. Aside from that, dealing with and storing 21mp files can be a task in itself. Again something the OP has to consider.
