Amanda, it already happened I think. I'm also interested now.

If people can wait a week I'd be happy to co-ordinate another bulk purchase.

All the rumours seem to be that the 1Ds won't be replaced until the Autumn.
So buying now seems reasonable. But I think that it might be worth waiting a
week to see if there are any price adjustments. PMA is in about a weeks time
and may reveal whether the 1Ds is likely to get any competition (will Kodak
or Fuji announce a new full frame camera?, hopefully the latter). If not
then I expect that the price will remain firm. Note that updating the chip
in the 1Ds to the technology used in the 1D Mark II would result in a 15mp
sensor. I would have thought that with this in the wind a softer price for
the 1Ds to discount some of the depreciation might be a fair deal.
