1D Mark IV White Paper

Is there also a Canon 7d whitepaper available? (sry for OT ^^)

Not that I know but I hope it could be added with a new firmware update.

What’s interesting is the 7D is mentioned 10 times in the 1D4 whitepaper.

I read thru about 75% of it, I kept drifting off to sleep, so I didn’t retain all that much. I was and am very interested in the high iso noise performance, they say it is about 1 stop better than the 1D MK III, they also attribute a additional one stop for those who use jpeg images due to the processing done by the digic 4 versus digic 3. For those who shoot raw, its a one stop improvement according to what I gleaned from it. The camera does have two additional stops of high iso settings, so that is a little confusing.

I tend to doubt if its more than 1/2 stop better than the 5D MK II after reading the sensor portion of the white paper. Maybe someone else can read it without nodding off and tell us what their interpretation is.

It is good sales material. I cancelled my order last week because there is so little information from Canon and there are no credible reviews or sample images that are carefully shot.

I want to believe its a big step up, but I’ll wait and see before plunking $5,000 down. There will be small discounts and lower prices in a few months as well, at least to those who know how to find them.

I did the same as you but with the 7D. Let them issue some more firmware improvements. I don’t expect them to admit to some hardware alterations. In the end of January everything should be okay. Then I can treat seriously the reviews and partial tests.

o no

Rumor: Nikon D4 in primary field trials

By [NR] admin | November 14, 2009

This comment about a Nikon D4 camera being currently field tested was posted on the d-spot.co.il forum by an active user (with 821 previous posts if this is an indication of anything):

“Initial Information I received from a senior Nikon position in the USA, that Nikon D4 is already under primary field trial .FF sensor with 18 million pixels, Full HD-quality video as in Canon.

Frame Rate Of 10 images per second, 102,400 Asa quality similar to what today is Asa 25,600 in Nikon D3S. Improving the quality of the existing D3s by two stops.

Most important information: a completely new Autofocus sensor that will

enable outstanding autofocus performance. From what I understand, this is a real breakthrough Technology.

I was not told when the camera is expected to reach the market and what will be its price.”

5D Mk II is already slightly better than 1Ds Mk II in some areas, giving it better AF would make it even more difficult to sell the 1Ds Mk III, and even the 1D Mk IV for those who need the best high Iso and good AF, but not really high frame rate and 1D-build quality.

It’s fun reading material! *snore*

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.

That means “funny”.
