Looks like photo forums all over are in a frenzy over the specs of the next Canon pro body. We'll probably know the real specs in a couple of hours. ;D From a comment at: www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/canons-eos-1d-mark-v-dslr-defying-death-launch-tomorrow/Breaking News:
Specification have now been confirmed here in Tokyo, the camera will be named the 1D Mark IV and the specs are as follows:
- 21.1 Megapixels - Full Frame with 1.3 Crop Mode - 8 FPS in Full Frame Mode - 12 FPS in 1.3 Crop Mode - Dual Digic IV Processors - Native ISO 25,600 - Boost Mode ISO upto 102,400 - 45 AF Points - 39 Cross - 63 Zone Metering - 1080p @ 24-60 fps - 720p @ 120 fps - S-RAW Video - HDMI HD video output - 3" Fold & Tilt LCD Screen - Self Cleaning Sensor
The actual body ergonomics haven't changed a great deal, with the biggest difference being the new Fold & Tilt LCD and the appearance of large hot keys beside the screen, that look slightly like the ones on Phase One Digital Backs.
There will also be three accessories at launch: 1. VDSLR Mount System 2. XLR Pro Audio Module 3. 1TB Flash Recording Module
The XLR Pro Audio Module and 1TB Flash Recording Modules are made to connect into the VDSLR Mount System to convert the camera into a fully fledged Video device, changing the form factor into one that Filmmakers are more familiar with.
Will report back when I get further information.adminnote: Admin Note: THESE SPECS PROVEN INCORRECT

Rom you can download the video already. So IV isn't that bad of a word after all.

The video (I'm still downloading it, darn my slow 384 Kbps DSL) says:
16 MP on APS-H ISO 100 12.8K native, ISO 50 - 102.4K expanded

Hmmm... things are really heating up! Just like the space race between US and Russia! Good for us consumers!

The rich gets happier, and the poor ... well, adds another one to their long list of things they can only dream of. ;D
The 1DM4, looks like has the right size of pixel @ 5.7 micron. Bigger than the D300, but smaller than the D3x (sorry, not familiar with the other Canon bodies). A huge drop from 1DM3's 7.2.
I'll leave it to the experts on what they have to say. ;D
Anyway, high ISO performance is always a joy to see. It's good for competition, thus the consumer benefits.
And only if they bring these technologies to the bodies that ordinary consumers can afford. Yay!

This gives us another reason to wait for the 7D MkII, hehehe. Canon will surely get thir act together on that one. :-)

I missed it, Paolo The video has been removed at Canon's request. Was it bad? If it was good why would they want it removed?

I've shot using mercury street lights before and the 1d4's video @ ISO 6400 is clean. Click on www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Ig59zgQkM and select HD or just watch below for convenience. I believe Canon requested all photos/videos be pulled by those they lent the camera due to its preproduction nature and i think they can do better before releasing it this December. Interested in getting one?
