Jeff Ascough, an acclaimed wedding photographer, tested Canon 1d mark IV pre-production unit. Jeff was impressed with High ISO performance of Canon 1d mark IV which he feel it is better than Canon 5D mark II.
“I am a huge fan of the 5DMKII and it’s high iso ability, but in my opinion and to my eye, the 1DMKIV is better than the 5DMKII” he said.
He was also impressed with the accuracy of the auto focus even in the low light condition.
“Autofocus performance is stunning. There is no other word for it. Canon have spent a lot of time and energy on this aspect of the camera and it shows. I was shooting in horrific lighting for AF systems, and it just performed faultlessly,” Jeff said.
About 1.3x crop sensor (smaller than full frame). Jeff said it is not a problem to him, the viewfinder is smaller but it has 100% view. So he can compose the frame precisely.
Jeff also provides some sample photos, including 100% crop. Some of them are taken in very high ISO, 12800. Check them out in Jeff Ascough field test.
