I don't think will be looking at a year, it screws everything up and dosn't make much sense to release it that late.

I waited a year of the 1Ds IV. It never appeared. But....I know now that next month it will be released. You could bet money on it. Here is the proof.


I gave up and went ahead and bought the 1D IV last week. I would have never bought it if the 1Ds IV had been released. So knowing how things work for me it is inevetable. The 1Ds Mark IV will be announced in February of this year and I will be kicking myself for not waiting one more month.


(You can also bet that it will not be released in the next few weeks, during the 1D Mark IV's return period)
