    In reply to Canon 1D Mark IV: The $5000 New King of Cameras
    This thing is all sorts of awesome. But, as a mkII owner, I'm tired of the 1.3x crop. I want full frame.

    I understand that some people like the "reach" it gives, but that's something you can do with cropping in post (or it could have a 1.3 crop feature built in). My 15mm fisheye on my can't be made wider when I use it on a smaller sensor!

    Before anyone says "Get the 1Ds!", I need the 10fps, and the 1Ds just doesn't cut it.

    I guess I could always just switch to Nikon... #canon1dmarkiv

    @szrimaging: Good one, hadn't thought of that.

    I would think 14mm or even 15mm would still be plenty wide enough on a 1.3 crop for that though?

    I've used 15mm for motorsports on the 1D series, but only for static shots in the pits (as attached) - Didn't need 10 fps... #canon1dmarkiv

    @thetickler: I was just saying, since you brought up the 1DS, that it is in a different position in the marketplace than the 1D. The 1DS needs to be compared to a D3x and the 1D to the D3(s).

    So why does Nikon need to worry because of the 1Ds? I don't see your point. Or are you just a blindly following Canon fanboy?

    And for the record, both companies are equal, if you ask me. Gear chasing has nothing to do with how good of a photographer you really are. #canon1dmarkiv

    @Assassin_Kensei: yeah. Nikon and Canon's are both good cameras. I just prefer not to run my BMW with a Ford engine. Contrary to the rumors, Nikon does NOT make sensors for the D3. They worked with Sony to design and produce them.

    Don't believe me? Contact Nikon and ask for yourself. Takes a few tries, but you'll get someone who cracks. #canon1dmarkiv

    Fighting over Canon and Nikon…

    Oh, my. Here's some advice (shut up and take it).

    a) Go out and shoot
    b) Become a better photographer (hint: it's the light, not the camera)
    c) Use gear that works, and stop bickering
    d) Promote the arts, not industry

    @iomatic (I know I'm an idiot, but I'll comment anyway): well said, but when you have very little light, you depend on your camera and lens to come through. Some handle low light poorly and why equipment matters in these cases. #canon1dmarkiv

You can't become a true artist without knowing the technical concerns of your medium. Its just like the arguments about what film was better. It is just, we don't have film to argue about, usually, so we argue about sensors. And since the bodies now do more than they used to, we get to argue about those too. #canon1dmarkiv

    While the 1.3x crop factor's a bit of a downer, everything else about this camera is beastly and has me almost enthused- besides the fact that I don't have $5000 to spend on it.

    But I still wouldn't put my ISO above 800, at the highest. That kind of noise, eech. #canon1dmarkiv

    The video is somewhat impressive until you see the credits. Then it's just a joke.

    Anyone want to take a guess at how much all the additional rigging and grip cost?

    I don't think that *anyone* who buys a 1D IV would i) do it for video (sports cam, no?) ii) then go shell out on all that crap.

    Conversely, the Nikon videos tend to be shot by one person. And a tripod.

    So I guess 1.3x crop (APS-H). While it isn't full-frame like the Nikon D3s, a lot of sports photographers like the extra reach that the 1.3x crop gives you. And still others appreciate a full-frame camera. To each his own.

    Looking at the video Vincent Laforet took with the 1D4 it does show how far Canon has come with the HD video in their dSLRs, and how behind Nikon is in this department.

    I know this is off topic, but has anyone picked up the lil Canon S90? Wow, wow wow. High iso shots, even at 2000 is usable. The blacks are black. I have a G10 and anything above 800 was pretty poopy. Compared photos with similar shots from my Mark II and for a camera this size, I was blown away. Anyway, it gives me good faith the new 1D will blow the lid off. #canon1dmarkiv
