Chris, I am ready to part with my cash for a 1ds also but have decided to hold out until the mk2 is available. Like you I have heard many rumours and theory's but Photokina in September seems to be the date everyone is talking about. I hope we don't have to wait much longer than this and it's all worth the wait. Regards, Simon Plant

I've also seen plenty of rumours that a 1Ds mk II is on its way, with an increased pixel count, but not until November (the rumour mill says). As someone about to spend plenty of coins for a 1Ds, I wondered if anyone else has picked up any solid information on the camera's replacement (or otherwise), in particular the timing. I'm guessing that Canon hasn't announced anything - I can't find any statement from Canon. Sorry to promote rumour mongering - but if anyone has heard anything reliable, it could be very important to my decisions.
