It may be time for you Canon users to go Nikon.
After all, can your 1D Mark III save your bacon in hard IMC?


Not yet available at Sporty's.

It is most unfortunate that they chose an aviation-style display because
this feature is almost certainly implemented with an accelerometer, not
a gyro, so it will not work in an airplane. It will be fooled in
exactly the same way that the human inner-ear is fooled, which is the
reason you need a gyro-based AI (or TC) in the first place. If you try
to use this as a backup AI in IMC you will almost certainly die.
