Well, BHPhoto is showing the 1DMark2 N at $3999 and the 1DMark2 for $3499.....is it worth the $500?

    According to DPReview:

    The primary changes are a new 2.5" wide viewing angle LCD monitor, improved buffering characteristics, new 'Picture Style' image parameters and the ability to write different formats simultaneously to SD and CF cards.

    new 2.5" wide viewing angle LCD monitor
    Nice, but not needed, I dump to my P-2000. No way I can chimp that much while races are on.
    improved buffering characteristics
    Hmmm....that may be helpful, though I rarely hit the buffer on my 20D
    new 'Picture Style' image parameters
    Sorry, no need for this, almost scary really letting the camera take over my details. I prefer to do it in Photoshop instead of accidently over sharpening or something in camera
    ability to write different formats simultaneously to SD and CF cards
    No need, I have 3 2GB CF cards and the P-2000 on me with a laptop in the trunk of my car or in the hotel room. I have plenty of available space to shoot with and no SD cards existing presently.



    ANy other reasons? Perhaps from those of you that have upgraded? I am about to squeeze the trigger here but I really don't want to regret it once the race season starts in March.
