*, another camera to lust after.  ;D

10fps @ 10m pixel.. *, that's a lot of data!  And for up to 110 frames...

At least the waiting is over, and I can decide if I finance myself up to the hilt to get a couple of them in my bag for sports work....  Oh wait, I can't even make the deposit, ahh well.

What is with the live view.  Would have though that was more of a consumer rather than pro feature.  Can see plenty of applications for pros though.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the 30D successor.
