Look no further. Your EOS 1Ds awaits you. I guess you're waiting for the price to come down, or a cheaper full frame model though, right? Don't hold your breath. Canon is in a field of it's own still in this league. About the in camera firewire stuff. This is NOT necessary, and Canon knows it. Everyone uses card readers. That's where the speed counts, but even then, one can just go get a coffee while the images upload. Faster CF write times hopefully will come in camera. There's no doubt everyone wants to see this. And that's one of the big problems with full frame too, bigger files take longer to save. Accurate focus. Indeed the 10D focuses very accurately for me. Some users have had poor luck, some people can screw up anything :-) Once you lose ECF though, you just can't stop wanting it back. For me, changing the focus point without touching any buttons is more than magic, it's a whole different photo space for taking. ECF on my 55 really made focusing fun and easy. Now without it, I'm back to centre point focusing way too much. There just isn't time in the real world for punching buttons for focus points. And letting the camera pick is never an option, never has been. The little buttons on the rear dial like the EOS 7 though would be another option that I don't know why Canon didn't include with the 10D. They must have rushed it out because they could easily have added that straight from the 7. ECF is actually the biggest reason I would upgrade, and the only upgrade I must have on the next model. Maybe I should just chill and go back to manual focusing more often.
