The price tag of course means this is only for the well-heeled pro or well-to-do serious amateur. The rest of us will just have to drool a little longer until digital SLRs with full frame sensors become more affordable. There is good news for the rest of us in the Canon 20D<\/a> and Nikon D70, two excellent digital SLRs at a fraction of the price of the 1Ds Mark II. Other good cameras are out there and in the works.<\/p>\n Two of the best online sources of information about the 1Ds II are the preview<\/a> at DP Review and the review<\/a> at the Luminous Landscape.
