Digital age did not spell the death knoll for the professional photography, even though skeptics thought it would. This could be perhaps the reason why Canon, the leading player in lens technology, comes up with amazing features for the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV. This 16 mp DSLR is a step further into Canon’s DSLRs made for the professionals and serious amateurs.
Design and FunctioningRugged and tough, this camera could be considered as the tougher and slightly heavier extension of its predecessor, the Canon EOS D1 Mark III which created quite a storm. It may be heavier than a lot of DSLRs but serious amateurs and professionals would not want to twirl their camera on one finger! After all, a compact camera is a luxury, while a DSLR is an investment for many. It comes with a highly impressive high ISO range that it responds to – it ranges from 100 to a whopping 102,400, never seen before in Canon or any other camera. Its shutter speed is equally impressive, extending from 30 seconds on the one end to an impressive 1/8000th of s second. It uses the superior CMOS sensor, instead of the CCD, which consumes less power to give better results. For storage, it uses the Compact Flash card, the UDMA card and even SD and SDHC cards.
