It seems like it'll be a good camera but the 7D has what I need.

If it was full frame, I'd find a way to justify it for myself
 I'm just not sure about the 1.3 crop for my needs of the camera. I've gotten so used to full frame wide angle. I'll probably rent one for the weekend when it's available and judge from there. The specs are a dream for me, have my 5Dii on one shoulder and the 1dIV on the other for events would be incredible  |

Sad I had to sell it, but for me the 10mp was a limiting factor. |

Sad I had to sell it, but for me the 10mp was a limiting factor. I was looking heavily at the 1dIII before the 5dII came out. I have to say, the high mp count really has saved my butt a bunch with kids and family unformal shoots (where the kids are too young to sit still for a pose, lol). I know a lot of photographers preach get it right in camera, and I surely try to. But.... too often I get back to the computer and will sometimes play with an image's composition. The cropping capabilities afforded by the higher mp are definitely welcome. I was pretty vocal about being against Canon's direction with high mp...but totaly eat my words now I do hate the increased storage size (although .dng format has helped a bit), the trade off is well worth it for my purposes. I can't wait to see some real world reviews come in on the production 1dIVs. |

It looks damned nice, but I won't be getting a new camera any time soon. My MKIII does everything I need it to.

I'm in more of a production mode with the dead hooker bidness. Supplying the finest dead hookers since 1970. but you're right... -Mark.

Hmmm....Still crops, as in my 70-200 f2.8L would be a 91-260mm, but my nice EF-S 10-22 would be unusable? Hmmm I'd rather stick to the 7D. I have to wonder why Canon would make an in-between size sensor? I guess DOF would be better on this than the 7D, but why?

Yeah, Canon has said that the current 1D users (sports photogs and PJ's) wanted the 1.3 crop.
I can understand the Pro sports photographers wanting it, a little extra reach never hurts. But it's the journalists that I don't quite understand. Just look at how quickly the D3 has made a real name for itself in both sports and PJ. I'm missing something, but then I'm not the intended market in reality. |

The only full frame cameras are the 1Ds series and the 5D series. They originally went with 1.3x because it was the largest size sensor that could reliably be produced with the tech available at the time. Since then they have stuck with it because it provides most of the IQ, noise and DOF advantages of the full frame sensor while giving a little more reach and a high firing rate. Quoted:
