I just had the pleasure of borrowing one for three weeks. I fell in love with the big LCD on the back, it's great! It shot fast and coming over from an EOS 1-n, it handled nicely since the basic Canon layout was the same. I did notice that the al servo focus was a little sluggish, but I was also shooting charging bears... All in all, not enough to complain about. I thought it was a great camera and would consider it for my own purchase.
