Outline/Reviews

16.1 MP CMOS sensor
A Canon designed and manufactured 16.1MP APS-H sized CMOS sensor produces incredibly low noise images in the lowest of light. The sensor captures outstanding detail ideal for A3 prints or larger, even after cropping.

10fps with upto 121 JPEG frame burst
Capture every moment of action with the EOS-1D Mark IV’s 10fps shooting speed, and continuous bursts of up to 121 large JPEG images (28 RAW).

45-point AF system
A high-precision 45 point AF system featuring 39 cross type sensors debuts in the EOS-1D Mark IV. Ensuring accurate focusing with fast aperture lenses, 39 high sensitivity cross-type sensors are employed, suitable for lenses with an aperture of f/2.8 or faster.

Full HD movie recording
Combining exceptional still shooting with the ability to shoot Full HD (1080p) video with user selectable frame rates, EOS-1D Mark IV offers huge versatility. For more control users can manually set exposure or choose to shoot at 720p or VGA resolution. An HDMI output allows High Definition playback of footage and images.

Low light shooting
Thanks to the EOS-1D Mark IV’s exceptionally wide ISO range of 100 to 12800 – expandable up to an incredible ISO 102400 - shooting need never stop even in the darkest of conditions.

3.0” Clear View II LCD with Live View mode
With its high resolution 920,000 dot 3.0” Clear View II LCD screen, detailed checks on images and video are easy. Using a solid structure construction, reflections are minimised, allowing Live View to be used under any conditions.

Dual “DIGIC 4”
Canon’s Dual “DIGIC 4” processors enable high speed processing of the high resolution images from EOS-1D Mark IV’s CMOS sensor, delivering 14-bit image processing with smooth gradations and natural looking colours. The Dual “DIGIC 4” provides advanced Noise Reduction when shooting at higher ISO speeds and instant startup times.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system offers a professional and comprehensive solution in protecting images against the effects of dust: reduction of internal dust generation; an in-camera sensor cleaning mechanism; automatic removal of dust spots with the included Digital Photo Professional software.

Full EF and EX Speedlite compatibility
Canon’s full range of EF lenses and EX-series Speedlites is available to the EOS-1D Mark IV user. Create a system tailor-made to your photographic needs.

Canon 1D mk IV video preview by DigitalRev

Submitted by chino on Sat, 2009-12-19 14:31

Better to have SOME action on the 1D mkIV front than non at all. The preview includes the bodies of a mk IV and a Chinese girl model (complete with huge Canon sticker attached to arm, is she made by Canon too?), and one of these bodies shown is naked!

Canon 1D mk IV slow motion action by Dan Chung

Submitted by chino on Tue, 2009-12-15 19:57

Aaaah, some people are really truly lucky :) For the rest of us, there's the drool bucket:
" had not one but two 1DmkIV bodies from Canon to play with along with a selection for lenses from a 14mm right up to a 300mm f2.8. I wanted to test not just the low light but the slow motion capability as well so I shot this whole film on 720p/60 and then slowed it down to 23.98 fps using
