    I was a grip guy starting with my T1i. I'm looking forward to the integrated one...

    Are you kidding? Even I'm looking forward to the 1DX and I'm not even getting one.

    Probably the biggest reason I was considering the 1Dx was the integrated grip with the second MC. I really liked my 1DsII and the only thing missing to me was a MC and thought of having one for vertical too made me all fuzzy inside. But now with the BG-E11 I don't think I compromised too much with the mkIII. I just try not to think about having $4k (I paid tax on the body) invested in a body/grip too much.

    Think instead about the $2800 you saved over the 1DX.

    (I'm still trying to sell my suffering wife on that one. "I didn't spend $4,000. I *saved* $2800." She still doesn't see it that way, but you do, right?)

    I have actually rationalized it that way but when the mkIII was announced at $3500 and grip at $350 I was actually saying "only $3000 more and I could have the 1Dx!"

    Now I just look at as, "New gear or pay lots of income tax?"
