Thats the one I have waiting for------Hmmm, But is it still the 1.3 Crop factor?, My guess is YES. no matter---I want it real bad, guess the mortgage payment"s" will have to wait. Bryan, whats the problem, the picture isn't even on your review list yet
bob williams:But is it still the 1.3 Crop factor?
Yes. And 16 MP. Looks great!
Do you think the 5d Mark II will be replaced soon? Dual Digic IV, 19 point AF system, built in flash transmitter, etc....

My guess is no. Canon stated that they were planning a new firmware to enable 24p/25p sometime in the second half of 2010. If there was a replacement 5D Mark III coming out around that time, it would take some of the wind out of the "sales". I'd guess the 5D3 will be at least another 9 months, if not two years like the last upgrade.
I'm dying to buy a 5dMarkII but hesitant of it being replaced. LIke my brother who purchased a Nikon D300 and a few months later the D700 comes out dropping the price of his 300 down!!! Just don't want that to happen to me.
I got the 24-70 L and the 70-200 2.8L IS waiting to be fitted with the 5dMII. 8D
I am wondering why they would drop to 1.3x from the ever popular full frame.

They never "dropped" to anything. The 1D series has *always* been APS-H format. The 1Ds Mark IV will be announced in 2010.
To go from the MK3 to MK4 feels like to go from 2009 Porsche Turbo to 2010 Porsche Turbo - it's a newer, better engineered car, but overall it's exactly the same as the old one that share the same frog like exterior. So not a revolution at all.
On the other hand, to jump from Nikon D2H to D3, D2x to D3x is like to jump from Jaguar X-Type to XF, from old XJ to the all new XJ - it is a revolution in every measurable way.
Can't believe in two and half years Canon didn't even change a thing on ergonomics given that the ergonomics on the MK3 is not exactly perfect, and it look exactly the same too. I remember Canon has once been know by its innovative steps, but with the MK4 it's different.
Finally, an 1.3x sensor is found once again.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm disappointed.

Awesome!
I was wondering whether they would have the Mark IV in production for Vancouver 2010.. Looks like the answer is yes.
I'm curious to see how this new body works in the field...
I am kind agree with Benjamin, so if you own MK3 right now maybe no need to upgrade to MK4, unless you really love or think the "New" focus function make lots different~ And ya HD video :)
For me I will get new MK3 with great discount price !

I think the biggest deal about the new 1D MkIV is the low light sensitivity (Vincent Laforet's video is impressive) - unparalleled by any other Canon camera (although it will be interesting to see if the claim holds true once we see some test shots). If someone is primarily a daytime outdoor shooter, you're right, they're likely just fine sticking with the 1D MkIII (unless of course increased resolution or video are important to their workflow, but if that were the case then the 5D MkII would likely be a better fit for the job, so long as burst rate can be sacrificed and AF is satisfactory). But for a lot of people who shoot indoors (or even outdoors in low light conditions, e.g. high school football game) with horrible lighting the MkIV is likely to be incredibly valuable. And with 16MP you could possibly afford to shoot with a shorter wider lens and crop to a comparative 10MP image which is usually plenty big enough for most uses. I'm already thinking that for gymnasium sports I'll have my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS on the the new 1D MkIV and my 50mm f/1.2L II (or 24mm f/1.4L II) on my 'old' (1 month) 1D MkIII. While not as impressive of an evolution as I had hoped, still impressed none the less.

It was on a relatively slow replacement cycle the first time around. I see little reason why they'd change that now. They'll have their hands full with production of the new 1D, completion and production of a new 1Ds (usually follows the 1D by 3-6 months I think), probably a replacement on the three-digit and/or four-digit series, and then a replacement in the two-digit series.
