1Ds Mark IV & More [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

<p><strong>1Ds Mark IV @ Photokina

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Receiving a few tidbits of information about an upcoming 1Ds body.</span></strong></p>
<p>Everything points to it launching before Photokina. We’ve even seen claims it could launch <a href="http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_1DS_MkIV.html" target="_self">as early as this week</a>.</p>
<p>I also received one emailing claiming it would be launched with 1 lens. No word on what lens that would be.</p>
<p>The 1D Mark IV didn’t launch with a lens, however the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II did launch a couple of months earlier on its own.</p>
<p>A new 24-70 is obviously a lens that would make sense to launch with a new 1Ds.</p>

This means great new gear for pro's and enthusiasts and (maybe): 5D III by spring 2011 and 7DII by fall 2011 plus some lenses...Haven't got present the exact product cycles. Let's enjoy the ride, then. Regards, Peter.

I can`t believe they will announce it now and have no great new stuff for photokina!

I was being asked to keep some time available in my agenda for the 14th or 16th of september.
That said it could well be for a new copier or printer

I also expect/hope a new 24-70 with especially beter iq in the wide-angle-area.
But I guess it will be at least 500 euri's more expensive.

Re: 1Ds Mark IV & More [CR1]

This would be the best surprise and would make this the best photokina yet! Canon already impressed by updating the superteles and extenders, not to mention the neat fisheye zoom.

I really hope the 24-70 successor (update) is announced. My 5D2 likes the 70-200 2.8 IS II so much. It needs a friend. Few lenses in my kit can reach even close. 100 2.8 IS is close. 35 1.4 falls short, but still gives a beautiful look. 24-105 not close. 400 5.6 not close.

I can't help but feel we are getting our hopes up ... canon's already dumped a lot of new gear on the table all at once, is it realistic that they would drop even more L-glass this year? just asking because it sounds way too good to be true.

Sooner the better! I've been through three of the old 24-70mm lenses. They are good, but not as sharp as I'd like, and they do come apart after a few years of constant use. The 135 f2 I have is the benchmark I judge all other against, that lens is so insanely crisp, anyone else noticed that?

Probably. But that's what this site is about. Anyway, a 1Ds4 announcement is coming. It seems reasonable to announce a lens with it.

New 24-70 may be coming. Amazon lowered the price for the current one:
$1222 (bhphotovideo: $1349 for us version)

Why did they do that?
