Shallow DoF, Many frame rate and resolution choices, Excellent build and external controls
No manual audio control, Complex autofocus, No dedicated switch between stills and video
With full 1080P resolution at 24 to 30 frames per second and low noise capabilities, Canon once again gives filmmakers a compelling reason to trade in their camcorders for a DSLR.Dan Bruns is an Associate Editor at Videomaker. Canon USA, Inc. One Cano...
Abstract: The new 1D Mark IV is a step up the evolutionary ladder from EOS Erectus, going where all SLRs are heading these days—High-Definition (HD) video capture. The camera on the left is the EOS-1D Mark IV, the Mark III is on the right. Externally, the tw...
The Canon EOS 1D MkIV, $4999 (review) is a remarkable camera, and perhaps at a cost of around $5000 you should expect no less. It’s built to a standard to survive hard professional use while delivering images of outstanding quality under adverse condit...
Abstract: Intended primarily for still shooters who need to acquire respectable web video, the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, like the earlier EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 7D models, has earned a coveted place in the hearts and minds of creative videomakers of e...
Fast continuous shooting rate, Solid, weatherresistant construction, Wide range of ISO sensitivities, Good image quality,
Cost, Size and weight,
Canon's newest 1D model has no pretenses about being anything other than the high performance leader of the Canon DSLR fleet. You can pay more for the 1Ds Mark III, but not shoot nearly as fast, and with not all that much more resolution than the Mark ...
Updated autofocus system is quick and reliable and produces excellent sharpness; 10 frames per second shooting speed is still best in class; superb HD movie mode; increased resolution helps for better cropping.

As I write this review, the Vancouver Winter Olympics are only days away and the games should be a good test for Canon and its 1D Mark IV. As far as my testing is concerned, I believe Canon has a winner on its hands with the Mark IV, especially in com...
Highly detailed 16MP images in a wide range of conditions, 10 frames per second shooting make it the fastest full-res camera on the market, Compatible with the most comprehensive lens range on the market, Excellent AF performance during our testing, Very...
Movie mode (and live view to a lesser extent), feels tacked-on, rather than integrated, Level of AF customization makes optimization challenging, Placement and interaction of AF customization options unhelpful, White balance isn't brilliant in artific...
The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV has the feel of a product that is determined to be as close to perfect as possible, and this is understandable after the uncertainty that hung over the 1D Mark III. It almost doesn't matter how many people were affected by the...
In print, both the Nikon D3S and Canon 1D Mark IV impress throughout the high ISO range. If you’re at ISO 6400 or below with either camera, the prints are quite smooth.Again, this exercise was intended to be a little more practical than pixel peeping ...
