Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Canon Explorer of Light & Sports Illustrated photographer, Simon Bruty, photographs a football game at Gillette Stadium between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. He tests the autofocus system and high ISO capabilities of the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, talks about other aspects of the camera and shares a few insights about professional sports photography.



Simon is joined by Canon's technical specialist, Rudy Winston, who talks about the features of the camera. This nine part documentary was filmed by The Phoenix Group. Here are the links to the other episodes:
  1. Image quality - even cropped, these images would make a double spread.
  2. Low light performance -  can work well at 6400 ISO with amazing quality.
  3. Autofocus system - an all new AF system that tracks moving targets.
  4. What's new - ergonomics, weather sealing, monitor.
  5. Simon's gear - what lenses does he take to an NFL football game.
  6. Mk IV vs Mk III - a seemless transition.
  7. One camera does it all - why use a high-end camera.
  8. Simon's insights - how he gets great sports photos.
