Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

For the photographers:

Canon today announced their new Journo/Sports flagship, the EOS 1D Mark IV.
The spec is not as high as what the community expected, and nothing in this camera, in my opinion, bests the fantastic Nikon D3s released last week, but taken on it's own, it looks like it will be a brilliant camera in it's own right.. especially if Canon can nail the AF module this time!

Brief specs:
16.1mp APS-H CMOS sensor
10 fps at 14 bit depth
Dual Digic IV processors
Full HD (1080p) movies at 24, 25, and 30fps
Rugged weather sealed body
Brand new 45 point AF system, with 39 cross-type points
3" LCD with Live View and Live View autofocus
And the big one that I'm sure the marketting department at Canon pushed for:
ISO 100-12,800, expanding to 50-102,400 in L and H3 modes. Yep. ISO 102,400.. pretty much night-vision!
RRP:
$4,999
£4,499!!!
Ridiculous price in my view, considering you can get a Mk III for £2.5k at the moment.

Anyway, barring the few negative points (I'm not going to mention the comparisons to the 7D), I'll probably end up getting one at some point. After the price drops of course!

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the Safari pics, don't worry. They are coming up next.

Peace
