From DPI You can see a new preview of the 1D Mark IV. They have some 100% crop samples at various ISO ranges. I’m still waiting for some real photography samples from the camera at 6400 and up. http://dpinterface.com/camera-reviews/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-preview/ Gallery of Images http://dpinterface.com/review-galleries/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-preview-gallery/ ISO 12,800 looks grand to me. As most of you know though, I’m far less critical about noise than some. :) cr

Everyone else is saying APS-H Cost? $4999 USD AF Points We’ve been told the camera will have 19 selectable AF points. The camera will most definitely have more like the 1D Mark 3. 19 Selectable may also be a mode the camera is capable of.

New Source I’m told to expect a new 70-200 f/2.8L IS to be announced with the 1D Mark V (Skipping IV?). Lenses have generally been very tough to track down with Canon.

Corrects a phenomenon where in rare instances, movie images shot by the camera may exhibit abnormal colors.
