Just check the upc website. A UPC for the 1D4 will confirm this leak.

Let's hope the 1DIV is not the Daewoo of cameras like the mkIII was.

It would be interesting to see the labels that would be applied to other cameras that were tested at the same level as the Mark III. With other cameras, users just go out and use the camera as they normally would, but for the Mark III, you have users that have more shots taken trying to expose flaws in the camera than from normal use. I have a feeling that many users here would be much happier with their equipment if they didn't read these forums.

Well done if it is a fake...

Howwever after looking for a while at between 200% and 400% I have some significant cumulinative concerns though as:
• The buttons below the back LCD are unevenly spaced - not a normal Canon design thing

Ahem.... I'm sorry, but that's not a reliable way to judge this.. Canon over the last several years has adopted new engineering specifications. Terms such as precision, accurate, correct, and reliable are all "just so out dated" at Canon.

HD = Hardrive,

You see this camera will be 250MP, 16bit and will create 1.5GB RAW files give or take a hundred meg, so you'll need to carry a 500 GB HD around as aminimum for a days shoot.

If that actually happens, then Nikon will only have the second ugliest camera on the market. And only by virtue of having straight lettering.

I agree, the Nikon D3(x) are butt ugly, only beaten by the a900 for the crown.

+1 the A900 is the ugliest DSLR out there.

Who cares what a camera looks like? Results are what counts! I suppose you would appalled at an old Technika V until you saw what it can produce with a fine lens.

The D3x may be the finest piece of photographic equipment ever produced. If so, that only deepens the irony that it lacks any visual appeal itself.

We're just stating facts. Didn't say they weren't good cameras, just damn fugly. Wouldn't stop me buying one if the output and features were what I needed.

The D3x is sure a fine camera but, at 14 bits, only shoots about 2fps.

Of course, it's coming. Just as I am sure there will be a Canon 60D, 1D5, 1Ds5 etc or Nikon D4, D4x, D400 etc

That's why those who dismiss the 1D4 now will have to eat crow when the time comes... of course, that may only happen 1 year later...

Yes, but 14 bits offers no real significant advantage over 12 bits in terms of image quality.

Thanks for the link. I enjoy the read. But it's rather theoretical. In terms of real world photography, no one has been able to demonstrate a huge advantage when using 14 bit vs 12 bit.

Well... I don't know if it's bits that are contributing or not... But my 14bit files certainly have more latitude with recovery of highlights than all of my 12bit bodies. 12 vs. 14 (who knows??) But I like the extra that I get...

Yes, it is a photoshopped image. There are too many shadows and highlights that are identical to the hires canon image available on their website. The lighting of the LCD has been changed, and one or two highlights are changed, but the other 100 or so highlights are identical. Check out the lighting just below the flash shoe, it would be very difficult to duplicate that identically, and the reflection of the lights in the viewfinder are the same as well.

The outline and angle of view is also identical.
