Quite so Emily. Like I said it's a quagmire.
But I'll tell you this. I have a 10D and a 30D and there's nothing much between them in terms of picture quality. I wouldn't bank on getting too much of a jump in quality even with the new 1D MkIII.
It may have better speed and be a stronger machine and have a gazillion new features but I'd put my money on the fact that if you made an A3 print from each of the same subject matter you'd be hard pressed to say which camera took which picture. More so if you look at them one at a time instead of side by side.
The 10D is still a great tool.
Camera makers make cameras to sell. They put new features in to sell more and to have something to advertise. Not neccesarily to make your pictures better.

Surely you mean cameras of the same status here. A 10MP consumer P&S
with a tiny little sensor is no way going to do what my 10D can do
with its 6 MP. But my 10D can't come anywhere near a 1D Mark II even
though they both have a multiplier and the Mark II only has 2.5 more
MPs.
