Canon EOS-1D Mark IV now shipping in the U.S., Canada

Posted by Rob Galbraith

The EOS-1D Mark IV, Canon's 16.06 million image pixel, 10fps replacement for the troubled EOS-1D Mark III, has been released for sale in the U.S. and Canada. We've received the first reports of photographers taking delivery of the camera in the U.S. starting on December 31, while we've confirmed that Canon Canada commenced shipments starting on December 30 (shipping times and today's holiday mean that most Canadian dealers outside the Toronto area won't receive their initial allotment of bodies before early next week).

Availability of the EOS-1D Mark IV in the U.S. and Canada follows its release in various European and Asian countries starting roughly December 22-23, based on reader feedback.
