If you buy the 1D you will develop much bigger muscles! I have recently bought the 7D and agree with Christine that it looks very very good, dare I say it but a Nikon D300 killer once the price has settled down. Strangely enough the last test of the Nikon I read (about the D300S) was slightly muted in it's praise. "Images appear slightly noisy at ISO 200" and "The only time autofocus struggles is with fast moving subjects when servo focus is used" while admitting that this is pretty common and that with 7fps some will be sharp. "Image quality, generally very sound but lacks the clarity of some models in this class and JPEGS are best avoided". Practical Photography magazine and I have picked out the bad bits but perhaps the honeymoon period for the D300 is over. !D or 7D and keep your existing lenses I say.
