I needed a new camera to be attached to the Canon 40d: find me always with the wrong lens was becoming too frustrating! To my way of photographing a preferred Full Frame with a few mega-pixel to take advantage of wide angles and have no file size is exaggerated to me needlessly fill your hard disks!

For us photographers street is interesting to see the working method in order to console us when our pictures are not like those of the great professional photographers
Today I have a bit “cheated” to tell the truth: I had a ride in the car and I took some photos unpretentious … just to kill time waiting for someone to rekindle engines
When a couple of years ago I contacted Giovanni Zola, a talented sports photographer who follows the Grand Prix motorcycle racing, to get some advice on how to use my new Canon 40d, the first thing I said was:
“You’re always careful where you go and not risk never to be invested in life that you have one, but opportunities do you have so many beautiful photos it while remaining safe.”
Those words struck me very pronounced since the beginning of the interview, stressing that this would be the most important advice that would give me, because the rest of the craft a bit ‘at a time I would have learned by myself.

Was presented today the new flagship of Canon for sports photography, called Canon 1D Mark IV.
Main features:
16.1 MP APS-H CMOS sensor
10fps at up to 121 JPEG burst
45-point AF system with 39 cross type sensors
Full HD (1080p) movies with manual control
High ISO up to 102400
3.0” Clear View II LCD with Live View mode
Dual “DIGIC 4”
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Frankly I (and many others) hoping for a Full Frame, but it did not happen because Canon has decided to keep the multiplication factor of 1.3 as the previous 1D Mark III and a lover of wide angle lenses which I feel I must give up this format as the 16-35 (the most wide-angle thrust produced by Canon) turns around a 21 mm compared to full size … shame because the other features seem great, but I’m not sad, indeed! Where to find almost 5000 euros for buying it??? Not even my Golf IV applies both!
Some features of the new Canon EOS 7D spoken of much good among sports photographers … I’m doing a little thought, too …
meanwhile the big day is approaching for the canons: it is scheduled for Tuesday 20 October, the presentation of the new flagship … perhaps the 1D Mark IV after so much talk on the forums is really the doors!
