    I've heard you have to hold the button and spin the wheel while the button is held, to change any button-driven settings. Is that true? I've heard the button logic got much better in the 1D[s] Mark III generation.

    IIRC the 1D2 lets you pick any AF point...if so, that could be a nice "upgrade" from the 1D3 (only 19 of 45 were selectable).
    We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.

    True but you get used to it. The 1DIII is better.
    Picking any of 45 points takes too much time to spin and select. I always had it set for 19. On the 1DIII the other points are assist during action.
