For those that might have 5 grand to blow in a couple of months, Canon announced the EOS-1D Mark IV today. It's scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers in late December, and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $4,999.00
Among some of the new features.... ISO range 100 - 12,800 in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments with ISO Expansion settings of L: 50, H1: 25,600, H2: 51,200, and H3: 102,400.
The Mark IV also provides video, like Canon's other recent offerings, for three video recording resolutions - 1080p Full HD and 720p HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
A few other things...
- 16.1-Megapixel CMOS sensor (still APS-H, or 1.3x factor)
- Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors with approximately six times the processing power of DIGIC III for full 14-bit A/D conversion at 10 fps
- AF system has been revamped again and now coined "AI Servo II", with 45-point AF sensor featuring 39 high-precision cross-type AF points
- New wireless connectivity for the new WFT-E2 II A
