Umm, I don't really like to get into all this but...

Canon until maybe 2 years ago was the king of low light shooting, when the 5D came out it was a revelation for photographers all around the world. A large number of pro's ditched Nikon in the early years of digital because their handling of noise was far behind that of Canons.

But times change, Nikon has moved slightly ahead and as sure as the sun rising tomorrow Canon will one day rest the title back from Nikon etc etc ]]>Oct 20th 2009 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/Surely it is only a matter of time before you can take photos in really low light conditions not having to worry about noise/flash.]]>Oct 20th 2009 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/Wow..

Digital camera use the same norm as it is something that speaks to professional (especially this norm is pretty well aligned with the classic stops and doubling ISO implies change the speed or aperture of one stop down to keep same exposure) ]]>Oct 20th 2009 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/
If the sensor outputs the electrical signal directly, that's native ISO and it can be varied by playing with the voltage on the CCD or something, if you have to boost the signal using an additional amplifier, that's, um, boosted ISO. Boosted ISO doesn't do an awful lot for you quality wise, but it will get you the shot... ]]>Oct 20th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/ASA stands for American Standards Association.

GOOD GOD, JESUS, JOSEPH AND MARY STOP WITH THE NIKON VS CANON CRAP]]>Oct 20th 2009 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/
This is not a camera aimed at consumers. Any cheaper Full frame cameras from Sony/Nikon/Canon will create better images except when focal length/ focus speed limited.

1D series typically cost around $3700 street so I'm not sure where the $5000 comes from.
1Ds series is the full frame sibling of this camera and isn't out yet.]]>Oct 20th 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/
The Nikon D3s shoots 9 fps. It's certainly not slow.

I agree, however, that it does come down to system. The lenses that are likely to be used with this camera are expensive. A 2.8 zoom can easily run upwards of $1500, and some of the telephoto primes can cost two or three times that.]]>Oct 20th 2009 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/
Hopefully when these come out the 1D MkIII prices come down so I can buy one :), my L lenses need a better home than my aging rebel XT.

Oh - and canon is better than nikon //sarcasm]]>Oct 20th 2009 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/Canon provide a crop frame sensor (therefore reducing processing requirements) so that the intended demographic can achieve the high fps shooting they'll require- that's going to be far more important to most of them than ultra high ISO performance or outstanding image quality as afforded by full frame cameras (Canon's upcoming IDs Mark IV will cater for these needs).

Nikon tend to cater to the same demographic by marketing a full frame camera- but I just said a crop frame sensor reduces processing power that's how Canon achieve high FPS, right? Well if you look closer, Nikon achieve their highest FPS shooting rates by allowing the user to select crop framing on the full frame sensor, therefore reducing processing needs, or by allowing the user to reduce the image bit rate processing say from 14bit to 12bit, again reducing processing. (Or by means of addition of an external battery/hand grip for some models).

Nikon's approach is probably more versatile, allowing their products to blend somewhere between suitable for high IQ or high FPS performance, but you have to make a compromise somewhere for what type of performance you want i.e. lower FPS but higher IQ, or lower IQ but higher FPS. Canon on the other hand segment their markets more clearly and provide a tool for each.

I'm not siding with either and I think it's crazy to argue over numbers until we see some definitive shots to really judge what we're getting especially as how we determine IQ can be so subjective.

Oh and 'I'm a Canon' btw... should be taking delivery of my 7D today :)]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/canon-eos-1d-mark-iv-announced-16-1-megapixels-45-point-autofo/
