You are exactly right with viability. The 1Ds has the resolution to match everything I do now where other bodies did not. I do not particularly need any additional resolution for my application so feel comfortable getting in now. The investment is a large one for my business as well though and I will be looking for additional work that needs the digital body. Still no bloody weddings though... BTW, my testing did show significant noise at the higher ISO settings, also the chromatic abberations with the wide angle 16-35 lens. Very pronouced purple fringing on the edges of several images but only noticable when greatly enlarged.
