For a very impressive review including image comparisons of the EOS D1s and 35mm and 645 (buy the way he uses the Pentax 645) see this page below.

Also the shutter"lag" is that of an slr,meaning its good for capturing high speed sports with out panning(not to say panning is bad<g>) Just not sure how the CMOS works vs the CCD.I always associated CMOS as start up computer programing.I have seen the Canon 1D and it looks nice and its cheaper than the Dxx series from Nikon. Any CMOS comments....Cotty?

I have done a lot of research on the EOS 1Ds and am really impressed with the images produced by the full frame CMOS sensor as well as the other features. So if Pentax is listening, my desire is for an 11 MP CMOS full frame sensor DSLR that can give me nearly the same quality as my 645n. If I do decide to move over I will be selling off all my Pentax gear in one fell swoop. I am already putting together a price list but want to sell it all in one transaction. Come on Pentax ... get it together.

I would buy a 6MP CCD or CMOS DSLR and would not mind if the chip is APS sized. If they could manage a CMOS chip like the Foveon, with some enhancements over the one used in the Sigma SD- 9, I'd be very happy. I don't need anything a lot larger than that. Keep the price $2200 or less and they've got me hooked.
