I probably overlooked that detail in earlier reports on the 1D-II,
but a recent article in the German C'T mentioned that AF-speed
improved by a factor 2, compared to the old 1D (mark-I)
Now, this simply means that either they artificially crippled the old
1D, or both 1Ds *and* analog 1V is lagging behind currently....and
being analog, I doubt it will see a similar successor/upgrade, in
mark-I & mark-II terms (and without other improvements, it wouldn't
warrant a completely new name).
Even the change from 1 to 1n was more significant....
Are the analog photographers now side-tracked?....;((
Time for some enquiries on the PhotoKina....and if true, then there
is all the more reason for a successor of the 1Ds (either they
artificially crippled both, or none; a factor 2 difference back
between the two back then wouldn't have been accepted by the market).
But it would be quite offensive if the same AF-performance was left
out on the analog 1V....
