GOT SPEED?

Canon announces today the new EOS 1D Mark IV. This newest member of the EOS digital line-up, pricing just under $5000 features 16.1 MP APS-H CMOS 1.3 crop sensor. The dual digic 4 processors helps boost the continuous shooting speed to a 10 fps rate.

The 1D M IV also features a completely redesigned AI servo II af system. The af system gives you 39 cross type points and 45 manually to give you better focus coverage for those quick moving subjects (hopefully better than the 1D Mark III)!

The Mark IV is also featuring the 3" LCD display, Live View mode, 100% viewfinder coverage, 1080 HD video and a vast ISO range from 100-12,800.
