Time for the Nikon D300s to step aside. Because the new Canon EOS 1D Mark IV has just been given the official nod. Aimed at the very best snappers in the business, it comes loaded with the exactly the kind of top end features you’d expect, including a dual Digic 4 processor, 16 megapixels and a sharp new 45-point auto focus system.
There’s no doubting that the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV is not for DSLR noobs. But if you’re looking to step up your game, then this might just be the top notch snapper you’re after. As well as those 16MP and dual Digic 4 processors for serving up super speedy shots, there’s also 10 frames per second continuous shooting and ISO up to an astonishing 12,800.

That ISO can be expanded to a monumental 102,400 for shooting in darkened rooms chock full of misbehaving celebs, we assume. Live View is of course present on the 3 inch LCD that’s slapped on the back, and 1080p video’s be shoved in in case you fancy yourself as a bit of a filmmaker.
With 121 JPEGs available in one burst and a dust and water resistant bod’, don’t expect the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV to come cheap. It clocks in at a massive £4,499. Best get saving. Or just spend your Christmas present budget.
