5 stars EOS 1D Mk IV Written by John Farrell
I bought my 1D Mk IV from Walters 1 year ago (almost to the day!). Why Walters? Simply because they have always offered me VERY good deals from a UK High street dealer. The camera itself is superb! Nothing is perfect but as an all round camera I can find very little to fault. I bought it for wildlife/action photography at which it excels as you would expect at this level. What has surprised me is how good it is as a general purpose and landscape camera. Whilst you do loose a little at the short end (1.3 crop) the colour and resolution of this sensor has significantly improved my landscape work. Another significant factor to consider is that the RAW files require little work to get a good print, in fact perfectly acceptable A3's can be done without processing. However a LITTLE PP in photoshop makes images really shine. I have only two criticisims of this camera, and they could be considered criticisims of the user - me! Firstly though lighter than the Mk2 series this is a heavy camera. Secondly there are so many options (many I had not even thought of!) that I am afraid you will have to read the manual. Overall the 1D MkIV is a superb combination of speed, autofocus, handling and picture quality that (I think) cannot be beaten at present. There are cameras about that will beat it in certain respects, but as an overall package Canon have really got it right with this one!

5 stars Great deal,great camera camera and really top staff Written by Lee Dare

Finally decided to bite the bullet and get the MkIV, its a lot of money so I looked around for a price. Walters are the nearest EOS Pro Centre to me and actually had a very good price. Decided to go to the store to purchase. Staff were tremendous, even downloaded and installed the latest firmware for me and threw in a few goodies. Highly rec the camera and staff @ Walters Thank you :)
