The world of camcorder is totally alien to...

As a current Canon EOS-1D Mark III user, I am tempted to know the availability of the Canon EOS-1D X.

Most of them are held in the hands of the professional photographers in the London Olympics.  For those of you who really want to know about the specification,...
