Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

Today 20 Oktober 2009 Canon has released the new Canon EOS 1D Mark IV. The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV succeeds the 1D Mark III, which was plagued with autofocus flaws from day one. The 1D Mark IV features a completely revised autofocus system with 45 AF points, 39 of which points are high-precision cross-type. Other upgrades include a higher resolution, dual DIGIC IV processors,  I skipped the Mark III and kept the Mark IIN because the upgrade was not such a huge  step forward and due to the problems with autofocus the Mark IIN was good enough, but the release of this Mark IV I makes me think  I should get one.. great camera with amazing specifications.

As a leader in speed and resolution the EOS-1D Mark IV, captures the extraordinary. Freeze action at 16.1 Megapixels and at 10fps or with Full HD video, the EOS-1D Mark IV is ready for everything.
