I second this. I currently use a 1Ds, and would love to know if the new 1Ds Mk II is really *that* much better. I am in the beginning stages of a studio and on location portrait business, and so far my 1Ds has served me well.

It's hard to imagine there is any huge benefit for portrait work. If it had a built in wireless transmitter .... but people use blurry (...soft...) lenses to avoid sharp images ! LOL But seriously, the one thing that more pixels does allow is shooting a larger area for easier cropping later. I'm learning to back out a bit in my portraits to allow 4x5 or 5x7 cropping later. The other day I did some full length portraits and have enough resolution to crop to a medium close up with no problem. The 1DsMKII would allow greater flexibility in that manner but that alone isn't worth the cost. I can't afford both the 1DMKII and the 1Ds and I need the speed for sports so it's the MKII for me for a while at least.
