I am with you on this one also, Bob. This is probably why I am becoming less interested in the S2. I need the 1DMkIV for speed (shooting sports in horrible light, etc.), AND I want the 1DsMkIV (whenever it is announced) for both the full frame aspect for my wider angle lenses, and the higher resolution to probably supplant the pull toward MF for meI am waiting for the 1DsIV, then I am afraid that the purchase reflex will take over
So have you thought about the 7D as an alternative if your only applications are sports or wildlife? It will actually deliver more pixels, and the speed is about the same. Only the viewfinder view may be a bit smaller due to the additional crop. Seems like a much less costly solution.I will be ordering once some discount is offered.
My only applications are either sports or wildlife. Only lenses will be a 500mm Canon and a Sigmonster.
Coupled with my LF gear, I will be a happy camper.

It does look like one heck of a camera, but is it a big step up from the 1DMKIII? That is the real question.Wish i can buy that 1D mkIV
To my opinion, not that much!It does look like one heck of a camera, but is it a big step up from the 1DMKIII? That is the real question.
The AF and the ability to selectively customize the function of the AF looks great in the MKIV.
I can't wait to see some images from the MKIV.
