I'm waiting for the EOS 5D II features (mostly video) to make it into the next 1D/1Ds generations (I have the original of both).

Although, the 5D II is pretty good as-is - shoots HD video, 21.something megapixels, 25600 ASA equivalent (you can take pictures in practically total darkness if you can figure where to point the camera), and automatic ultrasonic sensor cleaning.

The only thing that's keeping me from getting a 5D II is the additional autofocus points on the 1 series, and the better sensor cleaning on the 1.
