I love canon cameras.
We just got a brand new EOS-1D Mark II on monday. Its a beast of a camera. The image sensor is actually 35mm! And it focuses well, shoots great images (although only 90-something will fit on a 1gb card, which might be a problem).
Heh, and it looks and works just like our two EOS-1D (originals), no learning curve. rock.
The 550EX flashes are what we use, and they work well, but I really don't see anything amazingly special about them. I would recommend you feed them Maha batteries. Mahas will last as long as a quantum battery pack without the hassel, and you don't want to use normal AA's, or you will blow through packs of them like a chain smoker through cigarettes.

I plan on getting one towards the end of summer once the initial frenzy dies down. I'm not in a big hurry about it.

the cameras are for my mother's photography business. Seeing as she went digital a year or two ago, and I'm a highschool senior now, I've been doing a lot of work for her. Wedding and portrait photography becomes more interesting when you get to play with these cameras. Fun lenses, too: a monster 70-200mm telescopic, a few standard 28-70mms, a wide angle 16-35mm, fun stuff. That, and I'm realizing that going on weddings is a great way to see some really cool architecture around town - people generally get married in the coolest churches they can find, and its always fun to see these amazing building from inside (stl = catholic ghetto). And the steady income is nice.
I heard that was what made the canon cameras so expensive (and gave them the edge).
I'm going to go try to confirm/deny that. Edit: Not quite, but really close: "The EOS-1D's newly developed 4.48 million pixel CCD sensor (4.15 million effective pixels) is a full 28.7 x 19.1mm in size-with square pixels a full 11.5 x 11.5 microns."

A lot of the beauty of the picture comes out after the shot, it's all done in Photoshop or whatever program he may have used. Out of the cam the picture definately does not look like that. I normally take a few shots of what I'm shooting, however you can't always take the same shot of a moving animal.

There is a crop factor, it would be much more expensive if it was an actual 35mm sensor.
Nice pics. What shutter speed & fstop are your at? The images are very sharp for non Canon lens.
aaaaaah ok. That's what I was wondering, if you can make such perfect shots. Of course, some people can do but not the normal Joe Average(not saying Lars is a Joe Average but I think you get my point
)

Well even some of the best photographers do post processing. I don't *THINK* any digital camera is capable of producing those kind of pictures out of the camera. It has to go through some kind of post processing.
The 70-200 is a sharper lens, but it is quite heavy when compare to the new 70-300. Eventhose the 70-300 DO not as sharp nor as fast as the 70-200L IS, but it still is sharper than the 70-200L. If you don't mind the weight, then the 70-200mm L IS is the one to get, and if weight is a hinderance then the 70-300mm DO is the ticket. (The new 70-300mm DO also employed Canon enhance barel coating & emliminate common ghosting when use with digital cameras).
70-200mm IS L -- 77mm filter, 3.4" x 7.8", 3.24 lbs / 86.2 x 197mm, 1,470g
70-300mm DO IS -- 58mm filter, 3.2" x 3.9", 25.4 oz. / 82.4 x 99.9mm, 720g
70-200mm IS L f/2.8 $1600
70-300mm DO IS $1300
70-200mm L f/4 $600
70-200mm L f/2.8 $1200
Here a pic taken with a 70-200mm L f/2.8 + 1.4x TC Wide Open. On the 10D, that's a 448mm effective focal length. Using the TC degrades the sharpness of the lens a bit.
Swing Away
I'd love to get my hands on the new DO lens, primarily considering its size and reach. I just wish it were a few hundred $ cheaper.
For landscape photos I usually take two pictures of each scene. With animals you just have to take more because they always seem to move, so maybe 5 to 10 per subject.

Yes, a $1600 lens will produce sharp photos but you can also see that my Sigma 70-300mm zoom for only $154 is good enough for some nice stuff.

You have to do post processing with a DSLR camera, especially if you shoot the photos in RAW format.
I mind the weight somewhat but I really want a fast lens for shooting sports photos so the 70-200mm lens would be the way to go. I don't have the money for either of them anyways right now.
Looks like some dog treats. The whole are smelled a little like peanuts so maybe the stuff tastes like peanuts.
The 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS is about $1500-$1600, and the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 DO IS is going to be about $1300.
Canon EF 70 - 300 mm DO IS USM
It depends on the application. For instance, the Canon 1D MII is the best camera for Sports/Action Photography regardless of price.
