So, we’ll file this story firmly in the ‘rumours’ folder, but it’s such a tasty one D-Photo simply couldn’t resist spreading it.
In the last couple of days the blogosphere has been alight with talk of an updated version of Canon’s high-end professional DSLR camera, the 1D in its fourth iteration.
Northlight Images reputedly received a tip from an anonymous tester of the 1D Mark IV, leaking the following specifications:
* 1.3 crop
* Images ~16MP
* ISO 50-26500
* 8MP sRAW1 format providing images that seem to best 1D3 files in detail [typo corrected]
* Very clean images at ISO 3200. 6400/12800 take further processing very well
* Slightly faster FPS than 1D3 in real life shooting
* AF greatly improved and very good in low light (actual comment was ‘Nikon fast’ 
* Liveview AF – not up to fast sports use, but very usable otherwise
* Video as with 5D2
* Screen as per 5D2
* Ergonomic improvements with grips – some buttons moved
* Feels faster and more responsive in nearly all aspects of real use.
How reliable this information actually is remains to be seen, however a number of leaks have recently proven pretty spot on, so keep your fingers crossed.
