[Kevin]

This is going to be one helluva camera body. The new features are outstanding.



Highlights:

With the right lens it can be submerged in water for up to 30 seconds @ 1meter.

It has 4 card slots so you can mirror (backup) your card inside of the camera.

It shoots 40MP images at 24 fps

It has new "eye tracking mode" which tracks the subjects eye to keep focus

It has a new "bird in flight" mode

New low light levels are supposed to be 1.5 stops better than previous

Built-in Wildlife Call

Not only can the EOS-1D W remain hidden, it can bring the wildlife to the camera. By inserting a memory card with your favorite wildlife call recorded on it (MP3 and WAV formats supported), the EOS 1D-W can play back the recording. No longer does the photographer need to carry a duck, turkey, predator, deer or other call with them to attract wildlife. Canon will provide open source MP3 wildlife call audio files at a website to be announced.

Lol
