<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"]I don't think your "nutz" for wanting a 1D at all! it is a magnificent camera. I use it as my primary body, it will do everything that I ask it to do. A great deal of my shooting is sporting / action so the frame rate is a must. I don&rsquo;t own a 5DII but I did own an original 5D, the 1DMKIII took a better picture so I sold the 5D! I didn&rsquo;t even mention focus, build quality, etc.The 1 series is in a different class (obviously).Just my humble opinion - GET A 1! You won&rsquo;t be sorry!<o></o>
