After its annoucement in October 2009, Canon EOS 1D Mark IV went underground with the ability to acquire one severely taxed. So Canon may be taking advanatge of CES – Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas to relaunch the camera with its imminent greater availability. Canon is locked in a battle with Nikon’s D3S at $5000 retail for lead in the Pro camera high ISO, fast+accurate autofocus contest [for stills, both cameras offer video capture but not with auto-focus].
The specs for the Canon 1D Mark IV are impressive:
>ISO 50 to 102,400 with sharp, noise free up to ISO 6400
>45 autofocus sensors with fast dual processor rendering
>1080P video at 24, 28, 30fps using .MOV file storage
>3″ 920,000 pixel LCD panel
>Wifi connectivity as option
But the lack of cameras for preview is evidenced by no final review at popular camera websites like DPreview.
So here is the Canon promo:
