🌦️ Canon 1D Mark Iv Dpreview
I had a look at raw test images before and thought the 1D IV about 1/2 stop better for noise than the original 7D. When cropped it loses advantage. The 7D II looks to be same performance as 70D, which is hardly better than the 7D, not even 1/3 stop. So expect the 7D II only to be a little better.
What’s the best camera costing over $2500? The best high-end camera costing more than $2000 should have plenty of resolution, exceptional build quality, good 4K video capture and top-notch autofocus for advanced and professional users.
Both my 1D Mark III cameras have around 25k on the shutters, and I am sure one with even 200k would probably outlast the amount of photos I will produce in my lifetime. Just enjoy it to the max. The 1D Mark IV is a wonderful gem of a camera, and is arguably Canon's best crop sensored (and a tiny crop at that, given its 1.3x crop) body in existence.
The 7D Mark 2 has a shutter lag rating of 55 milliseconds, which is identical to the shutter lag on the 1D Mark 4. However, you can adjust the shutter lag on the 1D Mark 4 (C.Fn IV-14) to make it as short as 40 milliseconds (best achieved with lenses shot wide-open or near to it, and with lenses with large maximum apertures).
