Thank you. It’s a preview, by the way, not a review =). EF-S lenses won’t fit on the 1D Mark IV because it is APS-H, not APS-C – the camera’s image sensor is larger than that found on the X0D, X00D and X000D cameras, hence the mirror, construction, etc.

Hell, what happened to the sample pictures?! Why is Canon behaving so? Why?

Brad, thanks for the review. I’m disappointed that you needed to remove the high ISO samples at the request of Canon, but I can completely understand. I have shot with the Mark III since July of 2007 and have been completely happy. I preordered the new Mark IV to take advantage of the higher ISO performance, hence my interest in the samples. I greatly appreciate the automatic focus point when changing orientation, as it has been a frustration using the Mark III. My thumb just can’t make the span to the joystick when I have the camera in the portrait position. I have a very difficult assignment in low light in December, so I’m really hoping the units ship in late November.
Thanks again.
