Re: *UPDATE* Art Wolfe Confirms the 1Ds Mark IV?
Whilst it might have been somebody attempting a wind up it seems unlikely to have been a typo as the "error" was repeated further down with "Everyone had a great time trying out new lenses and backs". If it were new lenses with existing bodies it would surely have been "Everyone had a great time trying out the new lenses".
Why would you mention backs at all unless they were new OR it is a wind up.

Re: *UPDATE* Art Wolfe Confirms the 1Ds Mark IV? - FALSE - It was a typo.
My apologies, I work for Art Wolfe and in updating Facebook this morning I made a typo and put an "S" where it didn't belong. As part of an Art Wolfe workshop we were playing with a lot of Canon equipment (all new stuff, as in not 'used') this past weekend and I wanted to thank the Canon rep for his generosity. Unfortunately I typed a bit too fast and despite correcting the status update within minutes it seems what goes on the internet, stays on the internet some times.
So to confirm, it was a mistake, we were shooting with a 1D Mark IV - as well as IDS Mark III and numerous lenses and I mistakenly combined the names of these two backs in error. Sorry for all the excitement.

Still does not make sense. Why would you point out a "new" 1D Mark IV over anything else? I would assume that the workshops have had numerous 1D Mark IV's brought in before ... new or otherwise ...

Whatever the truth is in this particular incident, I think that the bottom line is one and the same. That is, we know that a 1Ds replacement is in developement (it would be madness otherwise) and even if it was present there it still does not tell us anything about a general public release date.

It would have to be quite a typo. The original post supposedly read "THE new 1DS Mark 4"... even if there was a genuine typo error with the camera model, why would one use the word "the"? It should've read "a new... " if he was referring to an existing model. And the word "new" - does it even matter if it's new or used, since it's supposedly a current model?
All very odd.

Let's face it. These pro photogs have "THE" "NEW" "1D S Mark IV" for sure.
Their assistants accidentally (or purposely with whatever reason) leak the info and realize later it can be deep trouble due to the NDA.
If you were them, what will you do?
1. You must correct the post immediately.
2. You must make some lame excuses like "yeah I was talking about a new camera as opposed to a used one... oops, I meant to say Mark III but IV is easier to type... Ugh, don't you think people type DS faster than just D..."
3. You try the best to contact popular rumor sites to beg them to remove their posts too.
There is no big deal. We all know the prototypes or pre-production models exist anyway.

Well I was warned that no one would believe it was a mistake - conspiracy theorists and all - but seriously, that's all there is to it. Art asked me to type up a thank you for the canon rep bringing out stuff for students to borrow, there were "new" 100 macro IS lenses, the new(er) 70-200 lenses and I just made a flat out mistake. Both with the word "new" and the "s" designation on the Mark IV.
I've given you the truth at this point. There were 27 students there all borrowing what they could get their hands on, if you think this is the kind of event that Canon is going to 'test out' secret new camera backs then there is really nothing I can say to convince you otherwise.
People just make stupid mistakes from time to time and I'm one of them. Sorry for all the excitement/trouble it has caused.

PS - why point out the 1D MarkIV over everything else? It was the last thing I was talking about with Gavriel Jecan as he was shooting the sunset at 2nd Beach running through all of the ISO settings so he could get a feel for it's performance. So it stuck in my head over everything else and it sounded like it was performing really well.
Lastly - people here mentioned/asked what Art uses - he shoots with a 1DS MarkIII and 5D MarkII. He likes the 5D for the video capability which is lacking in the former.

A simple and very common typo, even Canon has done this on their website over the last two years.
