Various Reports
I have reports from Bern, Switzerland and Oslo, Norway that Mark IV’s are being sold to consumers.
I’d like to see an unboxing and/or some high ISO files.

Has anyone in the US received one yet? I’m still hoping to get mine for Christmas.
2 more days to go. Good luck!
Still on Pre-Order at Amazon.
I am #1 on the list back east- before new year
I’m on Pre-Order too. I think we should expect a “Silent Night”.

You could actually check the websites…
Great news, and FINALLY. Jeez Canon make it snappier next time! :)
Great news! The US deliveries can’t be that far behind!
Pictures, or it didn’t happen ;)

No — I won’t. The battery is still charging.
:-)
congrats
Congratz, i hope mine will also arrive before Christmas…
I figured this would be the most read post so I was hoping that more people would be able to help me understand something from the images on Flickr.com showing the bottle close-up and taken with the 1D mark IV. Why is it that when I open the images with Canon’s DPP software and then look at the NR info., It shows that the RAW images were applied with a lot of NR prior to conversion to JPG. Does this mean that all these images are not shot with NR turned off? Would this then mean that High ISO images won’t be even close to this clean without the NR enabled?
This link of 102,400 ISO in DPP indicates that luminance NR was set at 15/20! and chrominance NR set at 18/20 prior to jpeg conversion. I hope that I am mistaken. Please help me out here!

Download the full size image.
The settings stay set at what you put them at, mine shows RAW greyed out and the Tiff&Jpeg set at lum: 0/20 chr: 0/20
exif data shows:
high iso speed noise reduction set to 0:standard
Yes, but what does the grayed out RAW settings say for you? Yes the jpg is set at 0, but doesn’t that just mean the jpg image hasn’t been hit with NR, not that the RAW images weren’t tweaked prior to converting to jpg? I don’t know though. When you look at the other lower ISO images, the grayed out RAW NR is lower as well, until ISO 50 is set in the previous RAW NR at 0 and 0.
Those pictures are from a pre-production camera, check the exif and the firmware is 5.7.1; the latest samples from a production camra has firmware 1.0.4.
I think those are JPG OOC. you can verify that because the exif is not stripped (as ACR, Aperture and many others do)and you can see the AF (which only a JPG processed via DPP can show). I don’t think DPP was ready by Dec 1st.
Wow! zooooom over my head there. Thanks for the help???? ha ha j/k. So basically would you be suggesting that the bottle flickr images may actually have been taken with No NR, thus the consumer version of 1D mark IV will have at least equal to or better noise w/out NR?
Real truly though, thanks for the suggestions on the flickr images.
I’ll be happy with the 1DMIV noise if the flickr images are truly what will be produced prior to NR being applied.
Check the exif. The camera was set to Standard noise reduction. So those images has in camera noise reduction applied.
I, as many others, am waiting for some raw files to really evaluate the images.
At dpreview, there are a couple samples that look terrible being at ISO 6400, I compared an my 5D2 show the same noise beyond 12800; but at the same time, there are other samples that look very good. Up to now, we do not have many real RAW examples, just the russian ones.
Great! thank you kindly for the help. Yes RAW will be greatly appreciated in the next few days???? Let us hope.
I don’t really care if the noise is comparable to the D3s parse, I just want to make sure it will kick/smash/destroy my current 5D’s butt, if I’m to invest $5K into it. I actually don’t know where my 5D’s butt would be….. but it’s probably somewhere in the area of the place I’m sticking my face every time i shoot with it. ha ha ha :) Would that make me a camera-butt-face????? Oh the joy of being partially insane! Actually I’m just feeling awfully giddy about the possibilities of the 1DMIV.
Just noticed that the B&H page now says “Approx. Arrival January”.
I just got back from getting mine. The shop I got it from only got one. I’m pretty sure there are less than four in
the country. My hands are still shaking from the shock of paying the money! Anybody want a 7D???
you can use the 7D as the 2nd Body w/ the 70-200 F2.8
8,12
How much for the 7D? Seriously…
‘Cause I’m gonna wait for the 1D MkVIII!
That’s 8, not 9. The last one is an exclamation point.
correction 15,18
was looking at 10,000.
I’m not used to that many 0’s yet.
you crack yourself up….
Just got back from the future. I have to say, the 1d mkIV is quite a revolution. However, the 1ds mkIV will be promptly released, and blow away most of the abilities the 1d mkIV has anyways; it’s got 30MP AND ISO 128000
9 would be IX anyway ;)
have a price of the 1DS IV too ? ;)
I saw that too. I’m wondering if this is an indication that the states won’t be receiving shipments till next year.
NZ$2500 maybe a couple of hundred less …
Hope it works and doesn’t need a couple of upgrades…
Cool Steve did you bring those lottery numbers back with you?
http://www.photowarehouse.co.nz/canon-eos-1d-mk-iv-16-1mp-10fps-full-hd/
where did you buy it (country/shop)?
my dealer in switzerland told me that the guys who are going to vancouver (olympia) get them first (3 pieces), so i still have to wait… santa is in holiday this year :(
Lay off the crack
Check out these full size high ISO/darkness shots, unretouched, on dpreview http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1032&message=34047002
12800 ISO looks fantastic ! Set the color NR to 25% or so in ACR and you’re all set (the pics there had none applied). I, for one, am in awe. Now if Amazon would fill my order…pre-ordered Oct. 19th (first day possible).
I got it from Pro Gear in New Zealand. I see there’s another store here that claims to have it in stock that I’ve linked below, but who knows if there are actually any available there, as the waiting list is apparently high. I was told that the release day was worldwide, but where I got mine has had theirs since Monday our time.
hi all, I just bought Mark IV in Hong Kong and shared the unbox experience on a HK forum, take a look if you don’t mind to read Chinese, thanks.

First Shoot of a member whith MK IV at Iso 4000 here
http://www.eos-numerique.com/forums/f75/1dmarkiv-chamois-133991/
Man I want one, but I guess I wait 4 the 5d markii since it will be my first dslr purchase. Ive got the OK from the misses to spend the 3500 plus 1000 for L-lense but she wont go for 6grand.
Hey jobear nice unboxing !
Where in HKG for the 1D ? Mongkok ?
Thanks
I don’t know, but that’s a high “entry” level cam. Anyway. Cheers and Merry Christmas…;-)
No kidding. $100 says he buys it and doesn’t take it out of idiot mode.
30MP? You can keep it.
Christ, it’s almost like Christmas won’t happen. Lights dim across the globe.
Be nice! This may be his first DSLR. He didn’t say first camera. I shot for 20 years before I bought my first DSLR. 35mm, Medium and even larger formats.
Merry Christmas to all and to all, WHEN DO I GET MINE?
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have the Canon 1D MKIII and the Nikon D3s. Can’t wait to see what the 1D IV will do head-to-head! Orders anyone?
Of course we all want to see a comparison of the same scene at high ISO levels.
I’d also like to get a sense of the overall speed at which they acquire focus as well as the accuracy…in both low light and normal lighting.
Nocturne on Canon:

January 11 is my next HS basketball games. I strobe the gym but camera still has to focus in ambient light. Hopefully I will have 1D Mk IV by then.
D3s: Just to my eye, the ISO 25k shots are actually useable! No side-by-side comparisons to 1D Mk III yet, but D3s 25,600 looks like 1D Mk III’s 3200. High hopes for 1D Mk IV!
Greg, definitely looking fwd to a comparison.
I am predicting the D3s is 1-2 stops better than 1d mk iv. Also asides from the noise would like to hear how the AF compares. I’m pretty sure the D3s is a far better camera overall, but since you’re lucky enough to try both side by side I’ll be awaiting your findings for confirmation of it all.
Our cameras were in the same batch, so I wanted to ask if your centre focus point was slightly off centre? I have to admit I was a little bit annoyed when I saw that mine was. What happened to the 1 series having legendary build quality?
its available in japan for some time now
+ really big number
Do Nikon websites attract the same amount of trolls or is this a one-sided blessing ? The last time I argued in such manner was over Mercedes vs. BMW. I was 12. “Far better camera” I guess this is what obnoxious camera store employees do in their spare time :-P
Anybody seen this video ? http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos1dm4/player_bluemoon/movie.html?high Quite stunning ! 1080p video *drool* I check my Oct. 19th Amazon pre-order 10 times a day, alas no luck. I guess the US is not at the top of the distribution list as far as retail is concerned.
I sold my 5D and Leica for good money, itching to add the IV to my (blue dot) 1D Mark III and 1Ds Mark III. If someone wants to give me a Nikon D3s I’d be happy to take it :D Given the necessary choice, I pick 1080p (which is, you know, FAR better than 720p heh) over possibly better Nikon IQ at 25600 ISO – my Canon prime lenses have 1.2 (85mm II L), 1.4 (35mm L) and 2 (200 IS L)aperture. If I were to need 25600 it’d be so dark as to be hazardous to run around ;-)
Now if Canon would only send me my 1D Mk IV!
So am I a troll because I use Canon & Nikon? I try to pick the best tool for the job at hand. Oh, and I also use MAC and PC! I just can’t make up my mind!
Merry Christmas!
Not you, Greg :) I have 3 Macs and a PC that’s their slave. I may add a Nikon to my 1D3, 1Ds3 and preordered 1D4 when the Nikon D4 comes out, with the 14-24. I see no need to switch companies completely, my Canon primes are just too good. The 200 f2 IS produces pics that look like they’ve already been sharpened. To me, the 1080p made me get 1D4 rather than D3s. With my top Canon primes it’ll be sick ! If Nikon has a better 25600 ISO IQ is irrelevant to me. Great camera though. It’s silly people view this like a religious war.
Would love a 200 f2! I use the 300 2.8 IS for HS sports. Not the best lighting around. That’s why I need the 25600. Able to stop action in the darkness of the conflict. Probably hang the 300 on The 1D IV and keep the 80-200 on the D3s. Keeps the other guys totally confused.
To me, the video feature is unimportant. I have access to several 3 chip “true” 1080 HD cameras if I need them. It’s a pain to edit the H.264 stuff!
BTW: What did you finally decide: Mercedes or BMW?;-)
… and to all a good night!
Two Hondas LOL
I mainly shoot weddings, models and travel. The video is a great addition to weddings, complementing the stationary video camera. For travel, too, I never had the energy to get out the video camera :) the highest ISO I’ve needed was 1600, which looks fantastic in the samples of the 1D4 I’ve seen. I don’t really use zooms much anymore, with 3 bodies I got everything covered. of course once the 24-70 IS 2.8 comes I’ll have to cave in. I got a portabrace padded Video strap for the 200 f2 IS which is fantastic. At one model shoot I hung a full size punching bag from it heh. Worth the $100.
