Canon today introduced the next evolution in the EOS 1D series of cameras: the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera. The EOS 1D Mark IV is a high-speed multimedia performance camera with a 16-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 4 imaging processor, and 14-bit A/D data conversion, all at 10 frames-per-second (fps), with the widest ISO range Canon has produced to date (ISO 100 - 12800 (expandable to L: 50, H1: 25600, H2: 51200, H3: 102400) for shooting from bright to dim light with low noise levels)).
The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV also features 1080p Full HD video capture at selectable frame rates (1080: 30p / 24p / 25p, 720: 60p / 50p, 480: 60p / 50p) packaged in Canon's most rugged and durable professional camera body.
Canon's 1D Mark IV Digital SLR sports a new autofocus system that starts with 45 AF points including 39 high-precision cross-type focusing points aiming to track fast moving athletes or wildlife accurately at speeds up to 10 frames per second. The camera also has a newly redesigned AI Servo II AF predictive focusing algorithm. To accompany the new EOS 1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera, Canon is also announcing a new accessory, the WFT-E2 II A wireless file transmitter.
What makes the EOS 1D Mark IV camera different from its predecessors, in addition to numerous focusing system and image quality improvements, is its Full HD video capture capability. With this new level of functionality, the 1D Mark IV Digital SLR promises to deliver high-quality Full HD video footage with great low-light performance.
