If you enjoy 33-page camera reviews, today's your lucky day, friend, with DP Review's epic page-turner on Canon's 1D Mark IV. Solid low-light performance, the fastest full-res shooting on the planet, and they've fixed the AF. Video? Dicier: [DP Review]
In 1975, the first digital camera took 23 seconds to record a 100-line black-and-white photo onto cassette tape. Today, a Nikon D3s takes photos with 12 million pixels at 1/8000 of a second. And it can see in the dark.
The videos are out, and now so's the camera: $5000 buys you a 16MP DSLR that shoots at a whopping 102,400ISO with a new 45-point autofocus system, 10fps bursts, and oh yeah—suck it D3s, incredible 1080p video.
Canon's 1D Mark IV is real: Vincent Laforet, who shot the first videos using the 5D Mark II was the first to take out the 1D Mark IV, and the result, using entirely ambient light, is just astounding.
Canon's pro DSLRs are Holy Grail ancient at this point, so something's gotta be coming soon: It might the 1D Mark IV, as early as tomorrow. People, inventory systems and invitations are talking.
