The reason I expected more “fanboi” comments is my experience with a 1D IV. When I went from the 5D II and the 7D to the 1D IV it was a very noticeable jump in performance. Keep in mind I am not talking all the new gadgets and gizmo’s like additional points. I am talking performance, precision and accuracy.

Keep in mind I have read all the Canon propaganda put out by their rep’s, obviously those express the “wow” factor. The responses back from those who are buying the camera seem to be a bit less overwhelmed.
Well my comments were specific to low light stuff. I did do some studio testing ( to test sharpness between the 5DII and 5DIII ) and the 5DIII seemed more accurately focused on the nose of my teddy bear test subjects

I also did some low'ish light photography at a meet & greet and got accurate results:

I just got the camera a week ago, and really haven't had much chance to use it except for the wedding reception and that meet & greet thing.

I was REALLY itching to use if for the whole wedding, but was scared to use new technology to capture someones precious moments... in case something was weird!

I rarely use AI-Servo mode, since I don't shoot sports or wildlife, so I can't say anything about that!
