Hi,

I posted a link to the arte wolfe fanclub on the canonrumors facebook page you may have missed it due to people posting photos.

anyways here are my captures of it before they deleted it and reposted with 1 d mark 4 instead of "the new 1ds mark 4".

I have not made it up as a guy on fred and miranda found the same see below.

here is the original post

I just wanted to extend an extra thank you to @Michael Gurley from Canon for bringing the keys to the candy store this past weekend for the workshop participants. Mike brought with him just about every Canon lens from the widest fish eyes, tilt shift, macro and on through through 800mm along with numerous backs including the new 1DS Mark 4. Everyone had a great time trying out new lenses and backs and we really appreciate it.

I posted the above on the canon rumors page, had no response then I put a link, around 30 minutes later the link was deleted and reposted with

If this was a type o error then changing from "the new 1ds mark 4" to "the 1d mark 4" is a little interesting.

Nice find, thanks for sharing. 8) It couldn't have been just a typo because of the word "new" immediately before the model name. It won't make sense to say "new 1D4" obviously. So I'm guessing a paper launch before the end of the year with general availability early next year, which would jibe with the rumors of "no new Canon DSLR before 2012". The vaporware is starting to solidify...

Just noticed this on the 2nd pass:

...along with numerous backs including the new 1DS Mark 4...

Would a long-time pro really use the word "back" to refer to DSLRs or is he implying that the new 1DS4 has interchangeable digital backs like the old rumors say it would have...? Hmmm...

Yes, plenty of pros do. Grammatically, it wouldnt make sense for it to refer to anything else in the sentence.

I would not want Art getting in trouble, although the post was posted by his fan club rather than Art himself. He is also 60 today so I hope he has a good birthday.
