1D Mark IV Ship Date
I've heard December 9, 2009 is when the first batch of 1D Mark IV's will be in the wild. No word on what country(ies) that would be.
G11 vs S90
Canon has been pleasantly surprised by the initial orders for the S90. Originally the camera was pegged to be outsold by the G11 6 to 1, their internal numbers have changed to 3 or 4 to 1.
Micro 4/3
Canon is watching how things go with the new system. Currently there are no plans within Canon to start R&D on a Micro 4/3 body or anything similar. There is also no plans for a third lens system at this time. EF-S is still a confusing thing for consumers. This is no lie, Canon still gets flack for the FD to EF change which happened 22 years ago!
24-70 f/2.8L IS
A great source has said this lens is coming in 2010.
Initial 1D Mark IV Orders
Orders for the 1D Mark IV have been beyond expectations for Canon. They do expect to meet the demand of initial orders.
24 f/1.4L II
This is still a hard lens to come by in a lot of places. I'm told Canon is working on having the supply issue sorted by the start of 2010.

Isn’t the current 24-70 (and 24-105 and 28-300) already completely weather-sealed with 1 Series bodies?
Michal, you are arguing things no one is talking about. Mucher made a statement about EF-S being more expensive than certain EF lenses. It’s not fair to compare the price of a EF-S 10-22mm to a EF 50mm 1.8, and it’s silly to expect all EF-S lenses to be cheaper than the cheapest EF lens. That’s what we’re talking about here. Your points have nothing to do with anything being discussed by me or anyone else I can see on this thread as no one is talking about which is better or worse.
It hardly surprises me that a cheaper camera will sell better than expected to a bunch of business analysists. Consumers will justify their reasons for saving money, in this case it’s a wise choice going with the S90 unless you need the extra zoom, viewfinder, or flash hotshoe. Everything else the S90 does better at a lower price. I hope the S90 line continues with future upgrades.
i just testet the 16-35II on a 5dmk2
and its horrible the only edge to edge sharp image can be made with 35mm at f/16
EVEN THE SIGMA 10-20 WAS BETTER ON MY CROP CAM
i pray for a good wide angle lens
seriously 1200 euro for a lens i really cannot use at 100%?!
what if i need to make a crop?
this is completely **************************%$!?$%Ӥ$
“Michal, you are arguing things no one is talking about. ”
David, I’m arguing your statements such as “The EF-S 60 Macro 2.8 $469 is 96mm equivelent, so it’s a deal compared to the EF 100mm 2.8 at $599.” EF-S is NOT equivalent to EF. Period. They are different lenses, different mounts, built to different specifications, built for different markets.
It’s rather obvious that except for a few exceptions EF-S lenses are in general cheaper than EF lenses, just like four-cylinder budget cards are cheaper than luxury, six-cylinder ones. It’s quite obvious or rather should be obvious to anyone.
What I am arguing against are your incorrect and meaningless comparisons, you cannot “compare” lens of different focal lengths and different mounts and seek “equivalence” or “equivalence”. 60mm EF-S is not equivalent to 100mm EF, no EF-S is an equivalent to any other EF lens and to make direct comparisons based on focal length multiplied by crop factor is meaningless, misleading and wrong.
