Coming soon: my first impressions of the 1D MkIV.
First I shall shoot one more event with it tonight. In a few hours in fact.
But before that, just to whet your appetite, let’s start with two 1600 ISO shots: one from my (full-frame) 1Ds MkIII, and one from my new (1.3 crop factor) 1D MkIV.
I took shots with these cameras both with the 50mm f/1.8 lens and with indetical settings (low available tungsten light, f.5,6, auto WB, RAW, and with no post processing applied at all in Lightroom). That results in these two images. These are two real-size (once you click) small sections of a large photo:

Much more of my first impressions coming within the next few days: stay tuned.
The image by 1D4 looks clean without colour cast.
