We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
Pardon my assuptions. When I refer to a MKIII its a Canon EOS 1D Mark III which I currently use as a second shooting sports. I shot that photo about a week before picking up the 1d MKIV. I have a 5DII but Im looking to move it in a trade. Im too spoiled on the 45pt AF of the 1D bodies and its just not working out for me. Im going to put FF to the side for now and probably pick up a used 1DsIII when the 1Ds IV comes out and the used price drops. I have a 1D MKIV that will suit the the high ISO purposes as well as if not better than the 5DII. I like having FF available for certain types of shots but those certain shots are also the least of what I shoot and can easily fill the billet with the APS-H sensor of the 1D MKIV or the 1D MKIII.
Im always referring to MKIII or MKIV and when I refer to the FF I put the 1Ds in front of it. Sorry for any confusion.

And if, by chance, a 5D Mark III comes out in the next few months, and if, by chance, someone reads this thread after that point, they really won't know which camera you mean. They might narrow it from three choices to two by comparing the date to the announce/release dates of the 5D3, or they might not.

Im sure if anyone cant figure it out or their interest it tweaked and my script too lazy they will ask as you have. ;o)
