I am looking at buying a Canon D1 Mk111 as my main camera, any one using one can give any info on this camera, i am using the 40D as my main camera at the moment, my main intersts are portraits sports and landscapes.
 
Erm, you are looking to buy one without knowing anything about it?

I would say it would be reasonable for portraits but overkill, fantastic at sports but poor at landscapes. Why not go with the 5D? Would fit your requirements better IMHO.
 
If you're anywhere near a Calumet branch, they are holding a series of canon days. Might be worth contacting them and going along and handle the camera itself,
 
I have the MKiii and 5D, and looking at your requirements I would choose the 5D.

For sports the MKiii is the way to go - faster AF, burst mode. But for portraits and landscapes the 5D is perfectly adequate.

Image quality is the same for both, except at higher (1250+) ISO, where the MKiii has the edge. 5D colour straight out of the camera is better.

Or if you're a patient man, wait 6 months and get whatever Canon come out with to beat the new Nikons (5D MKii / 7D / whatever)
