Canon 1D Mark IV Arriving Tomorrow?
Posted in: rumors, Today's Chili
An invitation has shown up online that hints at a new professional Canon DSLR, the 1D Mark 4. The 1D Mark III that it would replace is Canon’s oddball pro-level 1.3x crop-frame sensor DSLR (Canon has two different crop-frames in addition to its full-frame models, 1.3x and 1.6x).
Rumors say that Canon will be following current fashion and the new body will have a high ISO capability for low-light shooting, around 16 megapixels (which would be odd given Canon’s recent admission that more isn’t better by dropping the G11’s pixel count compared to the previous G10), and of course HD video.
These predictions are really pretty easy to make if you pay any attention to the DSLR market. What we have no idea about is the price, a place where the big battles are currently being fought. The rumors say $5000. Given that the previous MkIII launched at $4000, and that Nikon’s best camera, the D3s, can be had for $5000, that could be a little steep.
