I am. I purchased a 1D and unfortunately had banding problems. It was from Dell of all places and I only paid 2595 delivered. To their credit they did give me a prompt refund but couldn't supply another camera. I was really disappointed to send it back 'cause that is one fine camera and the price was great. I tried two 10D's and had AF problems with both, a friend's 10D was better but I now don't have confidence in that camera's AF anymore. If Canon would put the 1D AF system in the 10D body, put a 1.3x sensor in it with 8 MP and 3-4fps and significantly speed the review and write speed up - that would make one hell of a 3D! This is really what I want. Hoping to see it by February along with the new 1D. Wouldn't that be something if Canon had two new DSLR's at PMA. I can dream can't I.

... and add the Epson 4000 first, THE new camera later, but it will depend on price and as importantly availability.

But I never like early in the year releases, the first part of each new year is usually too much of a struggle to contemplate new camera acquisitions unless vitally necessary.

However, I want something more in the vein of the much rumored 3/4/5D type of camera. If that becomes available with a suggested selling price of $2,000 -$2,5000 USD, I'm in. Prerequisites: crop range 1.3 to 1.0, significant auto-focus improvement over the 10D, lighter than the current 1D. I've been saving for at least 18 months and I'm ready to buy, but I won't buy until the right camera is available. I'm prepared to wait up to 12 more months, but I don't want to.

I'm interested. As a motorsports shooter I'm looking for more megapixels and a larger buffer and whatever other refinements are made available. I'm still shooting with a 1VHS and have been fighting back the urge to buy a 1D until I hear what's available after PMA.
 
if B&H drop that 10 rated used 1Ds price from $6,300 to below $5,500. Just don't know why B&H always sell these "refurbs" at such a high premium. I remembered people said they are getting these 1Ds refurb at around $5,200 over the last few months.

So, I am still waiting for the 1Dr or reduced price 1Ds with my last year's bonus money in the Bank. Not sure if getting any early year for this year's bonus. I bet the 1Dr will be 6-8mp, FF, 1D body. It doesn't hurt to be optimisstics . . . Then I will get both the 1Dr and the 1Ds, the L's and all the whistles and belts, and become the Canon newbie gearhead King. LOL.

Are you sure you'd want a 1D and the 1D replacement instead of two of the new bodies?

I'd kinda like a -3D . . . based on 1.6x and 6.3 megapixels with the 1D focusing system. That seems doable. Of course, I'd also want it to use the same batteries as the 1D (not very doable, IMO). The perfect wildlife camera!
...if it were not for the speculation.
