Samy's
I received an email saying that Samy's has the 1D Mark 4 and 1Ds Mark 4 in their system. The person also claimed to have laid a deposit down on one of the bodies.

Received another email saying Canon was inviting Canon Pro Dealers to an event on the 20th of October. They were showing off some new product.
No info on what exactly was being shown. I also have not received any official email invites to such an event(s).
One thing to consider. Pro dealers are the only ones that can carry imagePROGRAF products.

Ouch. How did that happen? What body?
I think it’d be a mistake to launch something in response to Nikon’s D3s release. I’d rather they take their time and not ruin their reputation.
But you’re probably right.
bah… no 1dm4… i wish they came up with a 5d mark III , aka 3D, aka 7d features with 5dm2 FF. small body, not pro 1d body.
“Custom micro lens adjustment to my 24-70mm”? Was it a difficult procedure? Thanks.
It’s a feature of the 5D2 (and 50D, probably 7D — I’m not sure if the 1D3 has it) that allows you to teach the camera focus offsets for up to 20 lenses. It doesn’t seem difficult to do, just kind of time-consuming. Basically, you set the camera up on a tripod, and using mirror-lockup and a remote shutter release, you take shots of a test target at a variety of offsets and keep the one that looks sharpest. The best test target is probably the LensAlign system, but you can use other things if you want.
