Canon just announced its new top of the line camera – the 16 megapixel 1D mkIV. While it’s not full frame, the amazing APS-H sensor captures images up to an incredible 102,400 ISO and video up to 1080p.

While the camera features serious improvements across the board, with 45 autofocus points, 10fps bursts, and improved predictive focusing, it is the video capabilities which are the star of the show – full manual control, a stereo microphone, and 108p video at 24, 25 or 30fps backed up by 50 or 60 fps 720p video. If you have any doubts as to the video capability of this camera – take a look at Vincent Laforet’s Nocturne film – shot in ambient light at 6400 ISO.

The EOS 1D Mk IV will be out in December – with a MSRP of $5000.

Canon has announced their new SLR 5D Mark II, with a whole slew of improvements to both resolution and features, with 21 megapixels, full HD 1080p video, a 3.0″ VGA LCD, live view display, and a higher capacity battery. The full-frame sensor alone makes this a serious piece of kit with noticeably improved sensitivity and quality over smaller sensors.

This is truly a game changing camera, which surpasses its closest rivals and moves the digital photography world a leap forward. Pair it with some classic L lenses, like the 24-70 f/2.8L, and there can’t be much to beat this camera.
