Canon 1D Mark IV Swim Meet Photo Shoot

This is my first test with the Canon 1D Mark IV. I took photos at a swim meet at Wheaton College in Wheaton Illinois this past weekend. I was really impressed with the Canon 1D Mark 4. The high ISO quality is really amazing and in my opinion this camera is a must for low light sports shooting. It will really make your pictures look great. I took the images at the end of the video at 8000 ISO. I found the new auto focus system to be really responsive and fast.

Here is a link I would suggest Canon 1D Mark IV shooters read. It is about the custom functions on the 1D Mark 4. There is a lot of information and articles about this camera but this one link is a good one. Read the entire article and play with your settings and practice them.

Thanks for watching! Oh yeah, count in the movie how many times I say Canon 1D Mark 4 :). Oh well, nobody is perfect! The timelapse of Adobe Lightroom is supposed to be dark as I wanted my screen to pop a little, used a filter on my lens.

@Goodbadbritish thats what i say, just that you cant claim that mac i better than windows just beacuse you think it is, i dont think it is.

[Goodbadbritish]

@aleksandersandstrom to each his own :P, some people prefer nikon to canon, its a matter of opinion and feel :D

[aleksandersandstrom]

@Goodbadbritish i dont agree.

The whole PC vs Mac thing is indeed just a myth. In the end it comes down to the personal preferences. Neither one of the both is faster than the other, works better than the other or delivers better results than the other. It is exactly the same as the Canon vs Nikon battle.

I say keep using Windows if you like it. I've used it a long time, never bothered me. Now I use a Mac cause I really love the OS, but in the end, I don't really care which one I use. As long as it works..
