The last few days were hectic; sorting out visa for the coming holiday, shopping around for cheaper car insurance and trying out the new toy.
During the recent PMA show in Vegas, no announcement was made for a new Canon DSLR. Rumours were circulating for a replacement to the 1D Mark III, and then on 26th March, Canon announced the release of 500D and no news on the 1D or 1Ds. So it was decision time.

The difference in price between 1D Mark III against the recent 5D Mark II is not that much. For me the 1D Mark III will provide high frame per second and more focus points while the 5D Mark II will provide full frame and just been recently release. The 1Ds will provide all what I need from the 1D and 5D but its price is way above the budget.
At the end, considering on my requirement, the 5D Mark II will be a nice step up for me from the 30D. The two shots are the first few shots taken with the 5D Mark II and the subjects are the main reason for my interest in photography.
