    Wow…the 1D4 was only available for what…2 years??? Not long for a pro model from Canon.

    • Ellen Schmidtee

      Most of the 1D models were replaced within ~2years

      • CHD

        1D models were usually good for 3 yrs, not 2. Just saying.

        • Ellen Schmidtee

          According to Wikipedia, the 1D models were upgraded every two years, while the 1Ds models were upgraded every three years.

    This camera was never a smart buy for the long term investor.

      “long term investor?” It’s a pro camera, not a collectible!
      If it takes more than a few jobs to pay for itself, you’re in the wrong business.

        quite normal actually.
        1) pay expensive camera from 9-5 job
        2) charge cheap prices for foto jobs
        3) complain about expensive gear
        4) ???
        5) profit

        It’s a camera with advanced features, allowing people to use advanced techniques.

        If pros use it, then so be it. Most pros only know how to switch to the high speed continuous mode and where the shutter button is.

      On the contrary… I think it’s a near perfect pro camera. Or it was.

  • Rover

    Bummer… thought it’d stick awhile longer alongside the 1Dx just like the older 1D/1Ds cameras were sold in parallel. I wanted to buy a mark IV someday but now the supply is probably going to run short, driving the price up.
