Professional photographer Brad Mangin had the opportunity to use the brand new Canon EOS 1D Mark IV for a whole Sunday during a Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers NFL game. Luckily the camera performed flawlessly even if Brad used a 1.4x teleconverter and a 400mm F2.8.

Brad Mangin writes: “I have been waiting for over two years to be able to shoot with a Canon camera that I could really depend on, so this test was going to be a real confidence-builder for me. It might sound obvious, but I really need a camera that is capable of delivering sharp pictures. To do my job as a sports photographer, I can’t be distracted by paranoid chimping all the time, worried if my pictures were sharp or not.

This camera performed flawlessly.”

See the photo series and judge for yourself. – I think Canon has hit the nail with the one.
