    How about instead of a 5D III a 1Ds II? To the untrained eye they would be nearly identical, plus if she asks you can say you only paid $2000 on the 1Ds II and the 1Dx is only a couple of models up....

    I'm thinking forgivness is going to be a big factor!

    Cheers,
    John.

    I ordered the X as well, but in Europe. Estimate delivery in 30 Days. I will be in Africa from the 5th to the 20th of April, so I cannot have the X with me.

    Africa would have been a great trial for it Gian, I'm looking forward to seeing some of your shots and getting your thoughts.

    I thought I would look at your profile to see what gear you currently own, just wanted to how big a step you are making..... have you ever thought of getting a hobby?

    I would have thought that drinking wine qualifies as a hobby?

    Are you taking any of your beautiful models with you?
    An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.

    I preordered an X, as I had planned on moving up to a 1D body this year. But unfortunately they failed to delight. I can drop the money, but I keep my bodies for a long time, and 18 megapixels doesn't do much for me. I really wanted 24 on up.

    I'll probably cancel the order and wait (and wait, and wait) until the next one.

    I managed to get a pre-order in as soon as I spotted it announced when I checked this site one morning first thing at work, and am second on the waiting list where i've ordered mine

    I sold on my 1D4 for this and am really looking forward to working with a 1Ds3 and a 1Dx together, though the 1Ds3 has seemed to have aged somewhat. I think i'm going to get a bit more life out of it, given it's build is useful with over-friendly panthera climbing up my leg

    Canon have also apparently told the retailer i've pre-ordered from they should expect stock by the end of this month; as in next week basically.
