I'd agree. From what I understand, the 1DmkIII lets you zoom in w/ the LCD, then you can manual focus in liveview mode; I think this is specifically to let you use manual focusing for macros. It'd be really nice if they could have a split screen metering mode (i.e., ignore the center spot which will turn black at times); then you could use this for both macros and regular manual focusing.
I forgot to mention, for the K?D, they should have the DA17-70 as the kit lens which will have the SDM motor (Ben, any hints as to when this will happen? I've bugged Ned Bunnell and he doesn't seem to know either, even though it's on the lens roadmap).
It's also important that they fix the vertical antialiasing filter (aka, color moire or xmas tree lights) and VPN problems since I think they need hardware fixes...
