Overall which camera will give me the best results for: Landscape/Architectural, wildlife and portrait and sports photography…
If sports or fast moving wildlife is a concern at all, it’s the 1D Mark III by a mile. The downside of the 1D Mark III is, it’s a 1.3x crop sensor in a full-frame body. This means you don’t get the full benefit of a ultra-wide lenses you might use for landscapes and architecture. That’s not necessarily a deal breaker but, it’s something to thing about.
Inspite of it’s great image quality, the 5D Mark II is too slow for sports unless a top speed of 3.9 frames per second is acceptable for your needs. The 1Ds Mark III is a bit faster, offers a much better autofocus and certainly offers the image quality you’d otherwise find in the 5D Mark II albeit, with a much higher price and much bulkier/heavier package. Still, with the right lens, either is an outstanding choice for portraiture.

For landscape/wildlife/portrait I would definitely go with the 1Ds Mark III. But for Sports I would have to say the 1D Mark III because it has 10 frames per second compared to the 1Ds 5 frames per second. If I were you I would go with the 1D Mark III and put the extra $3000 you saved into a great lens or two.

However the important thing is lens, you need good lens for each type of shot.Here are my recommendation and link for sample pictures
– For landscape you need wide angle lens Canon 10-22mm or Canon 17-40mm are good choice

– For wildlife good zoom lens I would suggest Canon 100-400mm
