On the new 1v, the question is still out whether the ID-imprinting
back has the cut-out rectangle inside the image area or not....one
would assume that one look into the camera, in bulb mode, would be
enough, but I still haven't had a reply from my Canon contacts (but
it has been passed on to Japan I have been told).

Anyone seen a working sample of the 1v yet, or will be seeing it 
soon? Care to take a peek inside, in bulb mode, to verify whether the 
rectangle is inside, or outside the image area?

I smile at the thought that the R&D department is now busy 
redesigning the back on this crucial point, before it's actual 
launch....:-))
