I'm sure Canon will be out with something comparable very soon.

Brent, what? Are the 1D3 and 1Ds3 this free of noise, or is there something else lurking out there? There certainly are some interesting cameras coming onto the market.
My interest in the D3 is for the high speed AF and motor drive, especially for low light and low contrast subjects moving quickly. This is an area where Canon has always been weak, and there appears to be no resolution in sight for the AF issues of the 1D3 (nor even an acknowledgment they exist). There is an interesting comment on the issue here,

The 1Ds3 uses the same system - it may (or may not) use a slightly different algorithm, but if the 1D3 has these problems, the 1Ds3 will likely also have issues.
When is Photokina? That would seem a logical time for Leica to announce any new camera they may be making. Image quality has certainly seen some dramatic changes/improvements in the past few years. It seems somewhat analogous to the computer industry, when they constantly come out with higher spec models. Can image quality keep improving like the capacity of computers? What will cameras and lenses be like 20 years from now?
