National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez has posted on his blog that “[a] friend told me that there are some Canon 1ds MK IV test models floating around. That means 2 things. The much awaited camera’s release is imminent and we should have a first look at it here soon.” We’ve been expecting the Canon flagship [...]
Some new rumor news over at Canonrumors.com today regarding the Canon 1Ds Mark IV. Apparently the 1Ds MkIV won’t have a sensor cleaning function. It’s something to do with the way they space the individual photo sites on the sensor, or sensels as they’ve been referred too (kind of like the name sensels, just sounds [...]
The first 1Ds MkIV spec list is out over at Canonrumors.com. I’ve speculated on the specs a little already here on the Pro Photo Home, but it’s interesting to see the first supposedly insider spec list out. So let’s have at ‘er… 32 Megapixel sensor – no surprise here. I figured between 30 to 40 [...]

Yet another CanonRumors post on the 1Ds MkIV, this time with a really revolutionary bit of information… a square sensor for the 1Ds MkIV. I had to think about this one when I first read it. Actually, I’m still thinking about it. My gut says this one is going nowhere. I’m going to give it [...]
Canonrumors has posted information they’ve received that Digic IV may already be being phased out in favor of Digic V for the upcoming Canon 60D and Canon 1Ds Mk IV. Interesting if this is the case. To move technology in the middle of a line-up for a given series is a new one for Canon. [...]
So the allusions to the 5D MkIII got me thinking about the 1Ds MkIV, after all, we should be seeing it well before the arrival of a 5D MkIII if Canon sticks to their usual timelines. Which puts the 1Ds MkIV arriving this year! Actually, this would be right on track as we already have [...]
