Introduction
Canon announced the new 1D MkIV on the 20th October 2009. We all waited with great anticipation for this new body to arrive in December 2009. It didn’t, I got mine on the 11th January 2010. I was very excited to test the new body, especially after the debacle with the focusing of the 1D Mk III.

I haven’t had the privilege yet to hold and test the new 7D but, looking at the 7D’s new spec’s, these are my views :-
-
New 17.92 MPixel (18 MPixel) CMOS APS-C (1.6 cropping factor sensor)
-
One of the problems with the 50D was digital noise from ISO800 upwards, and the cause of this was the small pixel sizes that generated higher signal to noise ratios.
With even smaller pixels how will the noise be?? My personal opinion, if it is not the same as the 50D, it will be higher and the 50D was already no good at ISO1600. Why did Canon not reduce the amount of pixels and rather concentrate on getting better high ISO images (less noise and sharper images at ISO800 and higher), especially if this camera is targeted for action/sport that usually occurs in low light conditions?
