Just put my deposit down on the new Canon 1D3 - I am third in line at this particular store. Aparently Canon are delivering one a month to each of the 4 pro stores in Perth. That means I should get mine by late July/early August.
My wedding season really begins in September - so timing should be perfect.
There is so much cool stuff on this camera - but some of the key features I am looking forward to are:
Improved high ISO capability
Live preview with 10x magnification for macro ring shots
14 bit colour
45 point autofocus
I will post some feelings about the camera when I finally get it.

Have a look at this while you are waiting for it to arrive, and then wonder if you really need it.
Apparently it does not have a full size sensor, or an Ice cream maker.
I am sure you will love it. And it will no doubt last longer than Julian's round the world trip, for about the same money.

I don't really want to pay for it until August - but I am sure if it comes in next week they could twist my arm to go and buy it straight away

Thanks Everyone,
NT - The North Light link is great. I think I will have time to read it all while waiting!
I have had a play with the demo model in the shop. I took my 5D in as well and took some frames inside the warehouse to compare the ISO head to head. 1D3 has one stop over the 5D.

I ordered it for $5677. But the other three stores are selling it for $5999, $6085, $6200. Team Digital is where I ordered mine - their price is very competitive even with bodies from Hong Kong or the US.

Im green with envy.
