Canon EOS 1D Mark IV is official

After looking into potential improvements for a while, Canon has finally announced the EOS 1D Mk IV. Here are the highlights for this new high-end pro DSLR:

• 16.1 Megapixel sensor (from 10.1)
• Dual Digic 4 image processors
• 10fps burst shooting
• 45-points autofocus, 63-zone light metering
• Up to ISO 102,400
• 1080p Video recording up to 30fps, 720p up to 60fps
• Official EOS 1D mark IV page

PS: so much for that rumor about Canon skipping “IV” because it’s an “unlucky number” (4 is pronounced “shi”, which also sounds like “death” in Japanese – although my Japanese is extremely limited)
