From somewhere in the EU
I received information that an unnamed marketing/advertising agency in Europe received a worklist for projects pertaining to Canon DSLR’s and video cameras. One of the cameras mentioned is a 1D Mark 4. The due date for the project from Canon is January 12, 2010.
This goes with our “end of January” information for an announcement.

It seems January is becoming ncreasingly likethe time.
Makes sense from a business standpoint.
After the D3s hype, plenty of time before the World Cup.
Yeah but it ruins my Christmas list for another year ;-)
Canon officially stated that it is going to focus on the Consumer Electronics Show instead of PMA. CES is in January, so this makes sense.
in October will be revealed in Italy
Can’t be any later that January! Not sure my MK2n will even last till then…
My 7D arrived last night, I had a fully charged battery from my 5D MK II, so I took a few photos outdoors and indoors. The low light performance is better than I expected, pretty close to the 5D MK II. Autofocus in low light is markedly slower, apparently due to the more accurate focus.
The most important thing to me is its ability to set a correct exposure, and so far, the exposures are much better than the 5D, none of them were off, even with strong backlighting. I hope to try it more today. I might just forgo the 1D MK IV if this camera is as good as it seems.
Ed please let us (me) know how you like the 7d after a bit more use. Went to buy one yesterday but all on back order here.
My advice would be to wait for the reviews to come out, that is unless the store you’re buying from has a decent return policy.
Enough with the different release dates… just launch the freaking camera Canon :)
well I wish it was Oct (now),my 1D2 just blew another shutter. So going to a IV would have been great.
Did get my 7D. Those 8fps are quiet, very un-1 like.
Focus did jump on and off a bit from frame to frame. This was cheerleaders on a sideline… maybe those waving arms told Canon to expect some wild fast direction change.
It did repick accurate focus after each blown one.
One note, is with this new screen, it is harder to tell if it is in/out of focus manualy.
Be aware that exact comparison between FF and APS-C cameras is very difficult to carry out. It is possible only for experienced and INDEPENDENT laboratory tester. How you can be sure that tester was independent? If you own both cameras you can do however some estimate comparison using first class primes 50 mm and 85 mm respectively. Remember that FF has 2,56 times bigger sensor area and the same object in the same lighting condition creates dimmer image on the sensor comparing to APS-C. To compensate this you have to either increase ISO 2,67 times (if possible) on FF. You can’t do it exactly however because both lenses will be for sure of different characteristic for the same aperture, say f/5.6. I mean mainly transmission. Besides you have to downsample the image from FF camera to match APS-C. At the end you need make printouts from both images and then compare results. So everything what you write about such comparison is your impression only, not opinion. The worst thing about it is that you don’t really need such comparison at all. The 5DMkII is entry level pro and 7D is high end APS-C only. You can use them both happy without comparisons.
Fail. EU doesn’t mean Europe.
How hard it is compared to the 5DII…Is it due to the size of the viewfinder or the electronic display at the viewfinder?
I wanted to do some macro work and considering seriously to get a 7D. Thanks
Many people have alos become fans of Paul Smith Shoes since they came into the market. I also one of them , I very like Paul Smith Wallets and <a Paul Smith Belts,It designs very good.
