not sure I need to know about that payment plan possibility. I DO know that the
noise issue is one
thing I'd buy it for. the 1Ds was good, but I took several trips with a friend
who just happens to
own the II..... we did Everglades together. He was out there with the MarkII, a
400mmIS with a 1.4
converter attached, in late afternoon low light shooting at 1600 ISO, while I
struggled along with
my 70-200mmIS and 2.0 attached to mine, shooting at 100 ISO.... I really worked
hard (got great
shots, but difficult). He was just out there having a fine time.... envy. Pure
envy here. So, that
difference was huge in the jump to the II. Oh yeah.... I must go buy a lotto
ticket!! LOL
