The EOS-1D Mark IV has a newly developed, high-precision Area AF sensor with 45 manually selectable points including 39 cross-type, high-precision AF points for exacting and fast focusing no matter the subject.

Whether shooting a fast-paced soccer game or shooting a close-up of a bee on a wind-blown flower during macro photography, AI Servo II AF helps ensure sharp focus every time. AF point selection has been improved as well. Photographers can select their own point through either the camera’s Multi-controller or Main Dial/Quick Control Dial. Automatic selection is as simple as the press of a button. With Custom functions, photographers can select their own default focus point to automatically switch between horizontal and vertical shooting and can even choose to have primary focus supported by adjacent focus points for more accuracy with moving subjects.

Coverage
Approx. 100% horizontally and vertically
Magnification
Approx. 0.76x (with 50mm lens at infinity, -1 m-1)
Angle of view: Approx. 28.3°
doesnt seem right that the 7D would be 100% w/ 1.0x magnification but not the 1D

With C.Fn I -3 (ISO speed range), the highest and lowest settable ISO speed can be set. By setting L (ISO 50) for the lowest speed and H1 (ISO 25600), H2 (ISO 51200), H3 (ISO 102400)
yep Hi3 of 102,400 ISO

interesting new tid bit about the AF system:
The camera's 39 cross-type AF points act as cross type with any f/2.8 maximum aperture lens, as well as with certain f/4 lenses or lens+teleconverter combinations that add up to f/4. (In all previous 1-series digital SLRs, only the centre point would retain its cross type detection capabilities when an f/4 lens was attached.)
The eligible Canon lenses are:
* Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L
* Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS
* Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II
* Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS + Extender EF 2x II
* Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II
* Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II
The eligible Canon lenses are:
* Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L
* Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS
* Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II
* Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS + Extender EF 2x II
* Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II
* Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS + Extender EF 1.4x II

In all seriousness, it's hard to get tooooo excited about the camera until you see some tests. The 'tangibles' seem mostly the same. (well except for movie mode)

I think I like this position better since it's right by the shutter release!
Canon hasn't incorporated the smart still/video mode switch and start/stop button of the 7D into the EOS-1D Mark IV. They have empowered the flash exposure lock (FEL) button, however, to optionally serve as the video quick start button. With the camera configured this way, pressing FEL, even when not in video mode, will begin the recording of a movie clip.

on the 2nd page of the Galbraith link it also shows WFT support for iphone and other phones... pretty cool, no more need for that 3rd party app which worked so-so from what I heard.

Sports and wildlife shooters still prefer the crop from the extra "reach" it gives you, where a 500mm = 650mm. It's only an issue on the wide end where your 14mm becomes a 18mm. In that case, they still have the 5D2 and eventually a 1Ds4 to suit your needs.
The Leica S2 is a crop camera and they've recently had to add a second line to ramp up production to meet demand, and that's a $30,000 camera!
The bottom line is so long as the camera suits your needs, who cares what the crop is. It might help some and hurt others, but Canon has something for everyone.

A 5D2 doesnt have 24p, nor can is compete with a D3 in low light or autofocus.
the 1DsM4 doesnt exist at the moment.
So, like I said there is no real D3 competitor. Its really a pointless body at this point...They should have just released the 1Ds and gone full frame.
As for the joke about Nikon and 1080p...I already stated in the D3s thread its annoying and sad to Nikon is apparently rolling over to Canon in the video aspect.

The 1D, however, has always been 1.3x crop, and it hasn't been a big deal. I've always wondered if the smaller sensor allows higher frame rate.
the 1Ds has always been the high resolution beast for Canon, so it makes no sense to drop the resolution of that line to compete with the D3. I'm not even sure where a D3 competitor would fit in to canon's line, unless they make a *gulp* third 1D line? At the moment, doing it in the 1D makes the most sense.

the 1Ds4 is gonna be 32MP, not really a D3 competitor either, imo.
oh and just for the record, 5D2 is getting 24/25p video :P

Looks like a great camera, but out of my price range and out of my league.
Would be great for sports shooters. They could shoot indoor and night time sports with little to no trouble.

Was trying to find what the differences were from the 1D3, that hurt my head just trying to filter through it.
