does the 1d mark IV focus as well as the 1d mark II

I know the 1d III had some production issues, so to anyone who took the upgrade path, is the mark IV as good with autofocus as the mark 2

1dmk4 is much better.

Thanks. I think a 1DIV might be a consideration at some stage so

The 1D4 is perhaps one of the best well-rounded bodies I have used. Just about the perfect amount of resolution, just enough reach, AF is great, 10fps, focuses at f8 without a firmware update, can use Canon focus screens, has the old LED lit AF points vs the LCD that is hard to see at night, ISO management is quite good, etc. I have only 2 small gripes, the movie mode was just an afterthought on how they added it, and it doesn't have spot AF unless you use one of like 5 lenses.

I will get one here once prices drop with whatever pending announcements come out.

Thanks. I will eventually get one, but it will be a bit off. I picked up a 1d mark 2 very recently and cannot get over how good the focus is on that. I side stepped from a 7d and think it was an upgrade (but thats a different thread). I will want a good high ISO camera eventually, I was thinking a 5d2 but not after using the 1d2

5dmk3 is much much better than 1dmk2.

I have no doubt, but i did once have a 1ds which I really liked and now I have a 1d mark2 which is in my opinion the best camera I have owned. I like the solid feel and the reassurance of the weather sealing. I do know the 5d3 has that to an extent but I believe the 1d series to be better (for me at least)

For me there's a some things I like better about the AF on the 5DIII and others on the 1DIV, overall I think I'm leaning toward the 1DIV as it seems like it locks focus quicker(judged from results of real world shooting-no real controlled testing) and the lit AF points(both of which help bump up the keeper rate on the fast moving hard to track subjects).

I can't comment on the 1DII as I've never shot one.

I had both and 5dmk3 AF blew 1dmk2 apart when testing with 300mm f2.8 IS. Weather sealing I think most folks bolt before it becomes an issue with the camera.

+1

Thanks all for the input
