Nice pictures content wise, but at least on my monitor the postprocessing could be better... some of them look way oversharpened to me.

Wow that's great stuff. That pan shot of Erin Hamlin on the luge is one of the coolest things I've seen... made my hair stand on end! (What there is left of it...)

It's pretty obvious there's a lot of people who don't want to like this camera for a myriad of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with it's AF performance. Anyone here who's going to let RG's review be the reason for not buying the MKIV probably wasn't going to anyhow.


+1 Rich, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Great images but a dumb question. Which were taken with an MKIV?

And speaking of which, what is that utility again that lets you see the EXIF on web images?

Download an EXIF viewer for your browser. There are images from the 1DIII, 1DIV and the D3s as well, but they are mixed sporadically throughout.

Thanks. Any recommendations on an exif viewer for internet explorer?

That's exactly what Rob Galbraith and other photographers have done.

Well, I don't use IE so I'm afraid I can't help. If you ever decide to use Firefox instead, which I find much better btw, just click 'tools' on the upper tool bar and then click 'add-ons'. Once the add-on window opens click the 'get add-ons' icon and run a search for Exif viewer. FWIW I'm running 'EXIF viewer 1.51'. Hope that helps.

I just installed the Opanda viewer in IE and it works great. Thanks all. (And there are some definitely-not-too-shabby Mark IV images in there...)

So, did you order one or not, Nill?

I would've already ordered two, except for the current job situation I'm in.

Yes I did, arriving Monday. Sold my 200 f/1.8 and a few other odds and ends to fund it. Hope I'm doing the right thing.

So you would agree as a MKIV owner my review should carry the same weight as RG's?

It's does for me.

Do you want to hear it? It will be brief.

More than half the photos have their EXIF stripped (31 out of the 50 posted photos so far). Sigh.... Of the remaining, 1 from 1D3,14 from 1D4 and 4 from D3s.

Interesting somewhat of a real world test comparison...
