I'll see your predictions and raise you that I think they'll both have more megapixels than you've suggested. I'm expecting to see the 1D4 have in the 16-18 neighborhood, and the 1Ds4 to have upwards of 30. Oh boy! Oh boy! Can't wait to see what they'll actually be! And at least equally as important, what else they'll be sporting...

Canon Canada insisted I take part in the preproduction unit AF testing, on behalf of the WW Ducks Unlimited. I says, OK boyz, but in return I get the first DIF publication rights. Not Arthur, not Jimbo, but little old me. Well, they've consented.
So here it is, the first DIF shot with the 1DMk IV.

(Please note, that was a preproduction unit. Also, the AF system requires some more study, analysis and optimization fine tuning. However, so far so good, I must say. Beautiful image quality, lottsa depth and DR, no ISO noise to be seen.)

Yeah, but I've been testing a preproduction unit for the auto-comp function. That's what those two buttons are, not direct print but V and H auto-comp. You can hit both if you want an artsy tilt.
I was promised right of first BIF publication (that's bee in flight), but I couldn't get this one to fly, so I'm allowed to show it noshing.

You can set the Mk IV to display sensitivity in the old DIN (log) system, because ISO numbers are getting out of hand.

Wonder if they pop a 1DsIV out of the oven?? I got my mind set on a 1DsIII mid next year,thats plenty of camera 21MP FF highish frame rate thats about all I'll ever need, actually probably more than I'll ever need. If a 1DsIV arrives DsIII should drop tp $2900-$3400USD range.

I hope.

Hi there
I'm still using AND LOVING the 1DMKII (I skipped the -N and III).

However Hardware has so much improved that a IV might be just a great early XMAS present to myself.

But why on Earth would they announce this in SPAIN first -- it's hardly their largest market.

Still a 1D MK IV needs to appear soon IMO - especially as for some the 1D III is a bit of a dog. Can't verify that myself as I don't have one.

Cheers

Hello K

Australia has also got news of an event on the 20th.

I've seen a few people on several forums from the bigger wealthier nations wondering why Canon would announce something from the smaller markets... comes across as a bit arrogant to be honest.
In any case, I also seem to recall Canon announcing the 5D II and the 50D first from the Netherlands? Not exactly the biggest market either.

Please wake us up if/when a camera is announced with AF which is worth the money they are asking for it.

Why does it matter where they announce it? Is the 20 millisecond delay in transmitting the announcement across fibre optics really too much for some people?

Its not 20ms from the F.O. but its about 1ms in F.O. + 60-100ms of IP packet messing+1-10min for the Canon to send the first anouncement to the well known sites to spread the news... that are too much for somebody that they are trying to sell his toy before the time of the anouncement.

I find it a bit surprising we still have no reliable rummor 3days before the supposed big date.

Yes - that is odd. With the 7D we got quite a few little snippets creeping out of factories and such. Maybe Canon has sought and destroyed those sources.
