Don't mind at all...looks good. Yeah, the 1dIII is much more responsive than my 40d. Everything works faster. When reading camera specs and dealing with fractions of seconds, I didn't really think the speed difference between a 40d-7d series camera would be noticeable when jumping to a 1d series. I was wrong. I burrowed the camera so that I had a good wildlife camera for a trip to Arizona in two weeks. My 40d shutter is just about toast, along with the electronics.
