Canon’s premier speedster (in terms of JPEG and RAW burst rates) earns a half-star more in the rating due to increased resolution and ISOs in the stratospheric (102,400) range, but could have gained more had its new AF not been slower (!) than the Mark III’s.
Appealing most to sports shooters, news photographers, and any others who need a solid, weatherresistant workhorse body, Canon’s EOS-1D series has long been a leader in camera technology. The latest in this line, the EOS-1D Mark IV ($5,000, body only) brings with it a new 16.1MP CMOS APS-H (1.3X lens factor) sensor, as well as a new 45-point autofocus system, full 1920x1080-pixel 30-frames-per-second video capture, and sensitivity of up to ISO 102,400. But how did it fare in our lab and field testing? Read on.
