Try both and decide for yourself. 1DM3 has better AF perfmance, 7d has better ISO performance. A 1.3 crop or 1.7 crop? You need more mega pix?
Which is a better choice let say budget is not an issue, an used 1Dmk3 or new 7D? Will use it for sport and wild life. Your expert view please.
1D3 has the same low resolution LCD as the 40D. Being an owner of a 40D that is its 1 of 2 faults.
7D's lighter & smaller body. Cheaper too with warranty. Has a higher pixel density than a 1D3 for more "reach". I like how the Auto ISO is implemented on the 7D. I am unsure how/if the 1D3 has auto ISO but if it mirrors the 40D implementation then it is virtually useless.

of course, we all only view our pictures from the camera's built-in LCD. it is very important to have the best LCD available; if not, your camera will suck.

i get the 1dmk3, then sell it...
then money can buy 7D + lenses...
When you're at location and want to see if the photo was focused properly then yes having a high definition camera LCD would be useful. After all going back to location may be impossible or even be expensive.
Why spend USD5,000 for a camera that cannot make your life easier? You may as well buy a 1000D if that is the case.
Lazy photographers do not need 10 fps continuous shooting. 1 fps is good enough. So what if you do not capture the exact moment he breaks through the finishing line, he can do it again! Don't use AI servo, you lazy bum! Use Manual Focus! Be a man! Don't use Auto White Balance!
What is most important is the photos we take and not how we make them. Who cares if you walked through 5 feet of snow for 20 kilometers barefoot an hour before twilight? I don't. I don't care if you had to hand glide to the wall of a mountain to reach the nest of the last dodo bird known to man.
Auto ISO was first implemented on Nikon and it is a great feature to have especially when you have all speeds of film on the sensor. If the camera has an exposure meter for the f-stop and shutter speed then why not for the sensor speed as well?
Lazy bum carry that 1.3kg of 1d3 body instead of that lighter .8kg body of the 7D
