With current Mark III barely 18 months in production, it’s too early to predict for a replacement? You’ve seen the new 50D Canon launched 6 months earlier, broke its usual 18 months product cycle for the prosumer model, why not the 1 series? In additional to company’s Mark III AF hoopla, rivalry like Nikon with recent huge successes on D3 is breathing down Canon’s neck. The pro-sport venues has seen the return of black lenses in decade at large margin. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the next Canon Mark IV come out earlier than predicted, and likely to pack with jaw-dropping features to regain the market share. Let’s see what the Chinese has to say about the next 1Ds Mark IV.

A rare print taken by US photography pioneer Edward Steichen has set a world record for the highest price paid for a photograph auction.
The Pond-Moonlight – taken in New York in 1904 – was sold for $2.9m (£1.6m), more than doubling the previous record.
The 41×48cm photo shows a pond in a wooded area with light coming through the trees and reflected in the water.
The only other two copies in existence are in museum collections. The buyer’s identity has yet to be disclosed.
