        reviewsWhat are people saying about the 1D Mark IV

        "The 1D IV has barely changed its body shape at all compared to the previous generation - it's big but it fits very well in the hand, and all of the key shooting controls are positioned within easy reach."
        dpreview.com | talking about the camera's feel
        "Highly customizable buttons let you tailor the camera's behavior"
        dpreview.com | talking about the camera's button-layout
        "From the point-of-view of the tasks it was built to tackle, there is nothing that can touch the detailed, high resolution images that it can deliver ten times a second."
