I have heard that the camera is not up to the job using telephoto lenses and shootingfast moving subjects at distance ie aircraft some of the results I have had seem to have blurred edges and I am wondering if anyone can confirm if there are any problems .... I know that the 1ds mk2 was geared for landscape and portrate but did not forsee any problems Hope someone can help Rgd Andy I currently run a 1ds mk2 with 70-200 f2.8 100-400 is and sigma 300 - 800mm and am concerned at the results having just sold my 1d mk2 ….

But i have to disagree with the previous posters that professional photographers have no need for this camera. A friend who shoots snow boarding/ski events swears by the MrkIII and having the need for a camera that shoots that fast, and the live preview being useless? Photo journalists often shoot from the hip or above their heads when in crowds, tell me having live preview won't be useful in these situations.

Anyway who is this Nate guy? I hope he isn't serious, if so he’s just well…stupid. I'd like to know what you shoot. As far as I know the only 2 cameras in production which offer a full frame sensor are both made by Canon. So no other camera being made right now is meant for pro use. I happen to shoot with the 30D and make money with it, in fact there is a great photographer out of Austin which uses the XT and puts out consistently great work. So I guess the XT is also a pro camera. To all else sorry for getting sucked in as I know Nate mind wont change with anything I say but his ignorance is irritating. BTW: Check out the PDF provided by Canon on all of the upgrades. This is seriously going to be one of the best cameras on the market if not the best for serious photographers.

So, what's a 1.5fps increase for a titanium mounted mirror? Is the 1DMII a PRO camera? Of course it is, it's the unanimous choice for all PJs. So then, why shouldn't it's upgdrade pe the same?

So, you mean that there are NO pro-photographers shooting Nikon in "ze werld" ?!? pro=some1 who is making money out of thier shots. You tell me that sport shooters (for example) NEED a FF body and DON'T need the fps?!? You try shooting F1 or voleyball or skiing with the 3fps of the 5d. + they get a kick out of their 1.3x factor making their lenses "longer" Studio + FF body = love, that's for sure, but there's MORE to beeing a PRO than shooting in the studio.

Do you really need full frame? Sure, in the age of film, it was crucial, but who uses photos that don't get edited anymore? As long as the viewfinder doesn't show more than what's being captured, I think it's all right. Besides, if you want full frame, there's always the live preview, which will be full frame.
