"I expect to be able to publish a comparison with the original 1Ds, and also against the Phase One P25, in the next couple of weeks, and will update my thoughts and experiences with the 1Ds Mark II once I have a chance to use it more extensively in the field. Michael H. Reichmann Toronto ?

Perhaps even try to tie that in with film. The $ relationship at this point I think is 8 grand for the 1Ds Mark II and 20 Gee's for the Phase One P25. Hey if I'm going to trade in my Chevy for a canon why not just sell the whole fleet and get the back for my Hassy? Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
