I thought the Japanese didn't like unlucky IV and want V?
This camera is awesome

I guess that Canon does not think the number 4 is bad luck. I hope that the AF does better than the 1D Mark III.

Oh ya, I'm also glad that they restored the capability to select any 45 AF point, a feature found on the 1D2 series but not on 1D3.

Seems like a blend of the 1D3 and the good stuff from the 5D2 and 7D.

Interesting that Canon is now branding its new autofocus tracking algorithms on both the 7D and 1D MkIV as "AI Servo II".

Am I the only one disappointed that it's not called a "Mark V"? That had a nice ring... I guess we'll have to wait another few years for that one.

Check this out (from the Canon Tech Tip):

Note that although the maximum aperture of the following lenses or combinations is f/4, cross-type focusing with 39 AF points is now possible with these lenses:

EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM + Extender EF1.4x II
EF 200mm f/2L IS USM + Extender EF2x II
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM + Extender EF1.4x II
EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM + Extender EF1.4x II

They HAD to promise that or they would have not sold a single unit in the first 3 months.

AI Servo II is a marketing tactic to separate the IV from the 1DMIII.

I'm sure Rob Galbraith will post a scathing review of the AI Servo any moment.

Canon USA just posted a $4999 price. For me that 6mp increase in sensor isn't worth a grand. The AF is nice but for my purposes the 1D3 works fine. Video isn't worth a dime to me personally.

So I guess you just ignore the improved AF, ISO, and other features then?

Given the improvements in IQ shown by the 5D II and 7D, I think this camera has the potential to be suhweeeet.

It all sounds great, but I just finished a quick scan of a rumor thread that suggested a full frame body with APS-H crop mode for full fps. That sounded even better than what turns out to be reality. No surprise there, I guess.
The custom function that moves the selected focusing point when the camera orientation is changed V>H might be enough to make me not miss the system of the Mk II (two back button AF each with a different selected point).
