Good thing! I check your work all of the time. Your work is amazing!
Pics from Hawaii?! If so, this will be worth the wait. :)
This is gonna be awesome. I just know it
Pics or ban!!
Great review. I am a wedding photographer and a convert from the editorial photojournalism world. Low light photography has always been of prime importance to me. I have used my Mark II 1D and orig. 5d for a while now to shoot weddings. I have been waiting for the release of the Mark IV. I have the same issues wit the 1.3 crop factor and am going to buy the 5d Mark II instead and wait for the Mark IV 1DS full frame to come out and invest the estimated $8000 in that body. The Mark IV 1DS will be full frame and the ISO should be a usable at 25,000 iso. I prefer ambient light and maybe a little off camera for dimensional separation. Thanks for the review as I will just wait for the Mark IV 1DS.
Thanks Tony, great review for us wedding photogs! Looks like I’ll have to sell my 1d mk III now ;)
Great review. When you use the “set” button for ISO control, do you use one of the dials to adjust the ISO after pressing “set”?
jf
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful write-up. It’s great to get your perspective on the 1D.
Outstanding review. Thanks for taking the time. It’s exactly what I’ve wanted to read about this camera.
Excellent review Tony. Thanks for doing it. On the ISO set button issue, is there a reason you prefer using the “set” button instead of the dedicated ISO button on the top right? Personally, I’m thrilled about having this new button instead of the the two button push needed on the top left side of my old MarkIIn.
UPDATE: Just looked at an image of the Mark III and see that it also has the single button ISO. I never used the Mark III so was unaware. Cheers!
Great review Tony… now i just have to dig up the money to buy one.
Excellent review. I’ve been seriously thinking of getting a 1D4 so I can really use outer focus points, but the crop factor is a killer for me. I also love the 35L on full-frame, so I’m thinking I might be happy with 24/50 on crop rather than the 35/85 on FF I’ve been used to.
Well it’s obvious! I’m seeing a 1DsMkIV in your future :-)
Nice review. Thanks.
Thanks Tony for taking the time to share your feelings. I feel exactly the same way about the original 5d (we still have 7 of them) and the 5d II…. Same about the Mark III…. yuck, they want how much for that and the image quality of the 5d trumps it every day!
I’ve been on the fence about a D-series body and like you, we use the identical lens setup. I FEAR what will happen to the 35L. Have you used the 24? I’ve been trying to figure out what we would use as my normal setup is 35L and the 85L with some use of the 135. With the Mark IV, perhaps the 24 and the 50? Dunno for now. I think the 5d II wins for us still until the next go around with a new body release in that series.
Thanks again for your thoughts, great to hear everything you said for a nice piece of mind!
Matt
thanks for taking the time to share…your opinions about the Mk4 means alot because you are so much in the “trenches”, spending 5k to upgrade is a major decision, and so I think for now I will continue to “hover” and use what I have for 2010…
I’m a Sony girl, and I have to say SOOC shots at low ISOs are superb with my Sony, but when you’re talking about shooting 12,800 ISO, I can’t even comprehend! These are things that are pushing me closer to investing in a Canon or Nikon setup. All ready used to the crop factor, I’ve been lusting over this camera for awhile now…sigh…Thanks for sharing the review!
Thanks for the pragmatic review. I have two 5Ds and was thinking of trading one in for the 1D4. I shoot primes and never thought of the crop as a way of doubling my lenses. … and doing predominantly baby photography, the silent shutter would be handy.
Thanks again.
Thanks for this… I was considering getting a MKIV but I’m not sure myself if i want to go crop. I really love the full frame and I’m used to the reach my lenses give me. I might wait and see the 1ds MKIV reaction but not sure if it’ll be overkill for weddings..!
great review from a wedding perspective..!
Am I the only one who loves her EOS Mark II 1d? I am addicted to that camera’s monitor– so accurate. I need to find a quiet evening to read this whole post.
A great practical honest review Tony. cheers!
just the review I’ve been looking for. I bought the 1D Mk 4 after
owning every 1.6 crop camera from the 20D to the 7D, so it seems wide and spacious to me. I am very pleased with the camera, but I
wondered if I overpaid for the camera. In other words, since I’m
not shooting 10 fps, would I have been better with the 5D 2 at one
half the price? SO, it’s interesting to me that you use both.
Also, I have just sworn off zooms, and added the 35 L, and I
love it.
Wonder what the 1Ds Mk4 will be like?
I look forward to studying your shooting!
Detailed hands on review – love it! Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience. But please correct your post RE: why doesn’t Canon make the 1D full frame? Canon always produces two models – the 1D (for sports shooters, wildlife, etc) and followed by the 1Ds for those of us who prefer a full frame sensor (‘s’ for studio.)
Excellent review with great examples of the capability. thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for the encouragement. Nice balanced read.
I bought a IV last Tuesday and use it tomorrow for a wedding.
Until now, I’ve been satisfied with a 1D MkII N with a mix of zooms and primes, plus a Leica M9 with primes. The donkey work has fallen to the 24-70mm, but maybe now, with the bigger files, the 16-35mm will take some more of the load.
Not sure what to do with the 1D MkII N just yet, but with my 135 f2 it punches way above album requirements. Seems a shame to list such a fine example on ebay. Maybe leave the M9 at home for security. :-)
Thanks
Great post. Very detailed. Awesome work.
Jack Bentley,
I saw your comment and I just felt the need to let you know my experience with the 5d Mark II which I later sold to get the 1D Mark IV.
I bought the 5D Mark II on January upgrading from a 50D. I am a sports photographer and therefore was not sure about the 5D Mark II’s 3.9fps but was eager to try it because of the raving reviews and since I did not want to drop $5K on a body. I have taken about 6k shots with it from indoor basketball and gymnastics to track and field and baseball events. My only complaint thus far is the 3.9fps but only because I shoot sports. With the Canon 200mm L f/2.8 lens indoors I was able to catch amazing pictures at 3500 ISO, something I could have never done with the 50D but found myself missing “the shot” because the camera was too slow. Aside from the 3.9fps I was inlove with the camera but it wasn’t for me and had to sell it to get the 1D Mark IV.
After testing indoor shots with the 1D mark IV, I have to say the results are very similar when I comparing ISO shots and noise. The only thing I noticed was that the 1D mark IV focuses better but only when shooting moving subjects, which in my case are athletes running and jumping around.
If you asked me, I think you overpaid if you are not in need of 10fps. The 5D mark II is an amazing camera but lacked the fps I needed. I only wished the 5D Mark II’s grip would add an extra 3fps to the camera like Nikon does with its grip and the D700. If Canon ever adds that feature to its grip line, I would not hesitate to go back to the 5D mark II.
Thanks for your detailed review. It just confirmed the main fear I had (poor focusing with the AF assist beam). My Mark II N is the same way and I hate it!
I have two of these bodies and both are terrible in low light. In low light, if you try to focus on a dark subject in low light, it doesn’t lock the AF. 5DMKII, 7D, same conditions, same lens, etc., no problem.
I bought the iD MK IV in March (I’ve every EOS since the D60) and I am not that happy with the ISO above 500 in daylight but for low light levels and and night shots it’s excellent.
Basically however I am a Wildlife and Landscape Photographers and at the moment am on my way to the High Arctic, but just to make sure I’ll have my MK 11 with me
Thanks for the practical and informative “hands-on” review. I shoot High School sports and have used quite a few Canon bodies, i.e., Rebels, 40D, 50D, and my previous body, the 7D.
I just received my Mark IV last week and can’t wait to try it at the upcoming football games. I shoot in three different stadiums, all at night. I’m really looking forward to the fast focusing in the Servo mode and high ISO settings.
I have always had to post process my Raw pics with noise reduction programs and it will be interesting to see what I need to do (or not do) with the Mark IV.
I’ll soon be having some real world sports photos taken with the Mark IV on my website at http://photoexperts.zenfolio.com/
In the meantime though, you can go there and see what I’ve done with the 7D.
Thanks for the real world review, this is what I needed to know.
Perfect write-up. This mirrors EVERYTHING that I feel about the 1DIV: the low-light AF, the iso usability vs the 5DII…even how I feel about the crop. I’m glad you took the time to write about it. Cheers.
I have owned both cameras and sold them both because I needed to purchase something else, non camera related. But I’m once again getting back into photography and, even after your tremendous article, for the life of me, cannot decide which camera to buy, the 5d Mark II or the 1D mark IV. I used to shoot mostly video, and almost never used the 1D Mark IV because the clips from the 5D Mark II always seemed to look that much better with my EF85mm f12L II lens. There was always something different and magical about the photos even, when using the 5D Mark II with the same lens as opposed to the 1D mark IV.
I loved the build quality of the 1D Mark IV, and it was a better camera in terms of fast autofocus, that’s for sure.
Your photos are really amazing, by the way, especially that one at the top wit the glass raised. That one is a masterpiece !!!
im a 5D owner. didnt upgrade to the m2 because it didnt seem like a drastic change.
i originally was hoping for iso performance. but what im dinding is i really like the images taken in iso 50. finding it quite ironic.
also got the mark iv because i was missing shots. downside is it is very easy to fill up endless cards and hard drives as a result.
i do like the camera a lot. overall im pleased. it is a really big change over my 5d and it has had a big effect on my style.
im still a bit confused by the ai servo and still learning
hope to run into someone who has a mark iv to compare notes someday
She’s a model already and what is she thinking in those two shots as she rests her chin in her hand?!
Tony these are wonderful! And that little girl is so precious!!!!! :)
You’re right, that room is awesome. I love the shot of the baby toes. Beautiful pics :)
Very cute baby. I really like how the baby and the wall decor are in focus in that crib shot.

Tony, wanted to post this on your site but I am not longer the FB friend. Request me please.
I am Devin Coen’s mother and now I have a son-in law!! I wanted to say that your style was so very professional and unintrusive. We did not know you were there. You pictures have a natural element to them and you are able to capture the happiness of the time perfectly.
You take such wonderful pictures and we loved looking at some of them right away in fact before we got home. Loved it you are truly a great professional. Please feel free to display this post on your site or wall. I am already being asked.. “so who is the photographer?” Thanks so very much Cindy Kaleck!!
Love the pics,they are amazing and what a beautiful couple!
Gorgeous couple and gorgeous photos! the photographer really captured your love and happiness in the photos!
I have NEVER seen such awesome photographs. You captured the love and joy in such a creative and unique way. Best wishes to the bride and groom….
LOVE the shot of the distinguished father.
This is very beautiful! Love your style of photography and I know this is thrilled with their photos. Keep up the inspiring work!
Great centerpieces! Who did them?
Nicole:

Nicole Cauffman:
#1 has my vote. so tranquil, makes me want to jump in the water :O)
Kevin Sherman:
#2 is my vote as well. I’m a sucker for T/S shots :-)
Really, these are sooo good. Mind = Blown.
Jason P:
#2. Also. Don’t be jealous of me but… I’m going to florida next month. You’re crying aren’t you?
Matt Sanderson:
#4 caught my eye, as did #10 and #12.
I’ll vote for… erm… Number 10!
- Matt

I vote for #3…really, all of these are amazing.
Rick Koetter:
Great pics Tony! Even though I love of all the beautiful colors and water in the other pics, I think I like #26 the best.
Alan:
So awesome, I recognized a few of those places, glad you had a great time…now I want to go back!
Rebecca H.:
#32 is beautiful…definitely my pick! Awesome job as usual Tony!!!
patricia:
My vote is for number 5!
They are all awesome!
Jeremy:
I loved #11. The exposure is wonderful! Is that how it was from the camera or is it an hdr?
Ernst:
Looks like you both somewhat enjoyed yourselves. I vote #26, which could have been even better if you had cut down the 3rd tree from the left. Cheers. Ernst
ajja:
maui no ka oi huh?! remarkably captured. i think it’s def. 30, but am totally enamored by 15 as well. homesickness doubled….thanks.
Ira:
Great work. #17
Erika:
Looks like you had a fantastic vacation. Glad you got away to celebrate, but I have to say my inner-blog stalker REJOICED with the arrival of a new post :)
And seriously, Mr. Hoffer, you can’t post 41 pictures and expect us to have ONE favorite. I think this is a hard call to make without knowing the colors already existing in whatever room you’re planning to hang this in, but if I have to vote blindly…
Number 3 & 28 are definitely up there for me – probably because they remind me so much of LOST scenery. So I say go with whichever orientation looks best on your empty wall.
Kara McClelland:
25!!!! Although I love them all…I am inviting myself over to come look at the rest of the pics you took….slideshow and pizza??? excellent idea!
Lindsay:
TWO. Totally. Love how the coast line looks with the waves in T/S. Also, I’m way jealous you got to see humpback whales.
Kim:
Glad you were able to get away to such an amazing place. My vote is for #2, just amazing. Love the t/s on that one. #3 is a close second.
Sahid:
Holy crap these are awesome. I’m so freakin jealous, it’s not even funny. There’s like 22 inches of snow on parts of East coast right now, and you get to photograph rainbows and waterfalls. Enjoy your time there.
Dan:
Very Nice. My vote is for #2 as well.
Dennis Pik:
Something about number 29 for me, can’t place my finger on it, but that is my favorite.
Ashley:
These are all GORGEOUS and it was so hard to choose… but I pick #25!
michelle:
love #17.
lovely set of photographs. nice to have some time off :)
Mike:
Definitely #3… Sweet composition and colors!
Ram:
Mr Hoffer!! Looks like you’ve had yourself an awesome vacation. How do you expect us to pick just one from so many wonderful ones!! :)
Hmmm, 4, 8, 12 or 32. I’d go with 4 :)
Corey:
Great pics! I vote for #4. Great shots!
Tiffany Krise:
I think #4 would look amazing in a large print!
Allison Krosnick:
I’ve got to say that I keep coming back to #1. It is so peaceful, and the colors are great! Fantastic set!
June:
Oh man. I have to pick just one?? Ok I pick #1….no #2…erg, ok really #1. They are ALL fantastic. Thanks for sharing and I’m so glad you and Amy got away together. Miss you both!
Allison:
#4 is awesome!! One of those pictures a)normal people with a camera could never capture half as beautifully as you did, and b) one of those scenes that you can only get in Hawaii. Absolutely breathtaking. Loved all the pics… they were amazing!!!
susan:
these are amazing, but #2 is my favorite! looks like you had a blast!
Robert:
Wow! You can photograph everything! My pick is for #1. But I like them all.

Krissy:
No. 1- my fav! Great job on all of them!
Michelle Catranis:
These are amazing! #15 is definitely my favorite!
Erin:
Wow these are all amazing! I would vote for #4.
Henry:
I think #2, 7, and 12 would make for great prints. Never been to Hawaii, but now I want to go more than ever.
Eric Barlow:
I vote #1!
Amy Barlow:
I vote for #4
great pictures! prefect time to go to Hawaii with all the snow here!
Malachi Barlow:
#25, I would love to go see a waterfall some day… maybe when I can walk!
Resa:
#25 is totally awesome!!!
Emily:
1,5,25 are my favorites. for something to specifically remember hawaii i say 1, but 5 is great just as a picture with endless interpretations/meanings.
Emily Joy:
I would have to say that either 4 (if you want color) or 26 (for bw) would look great as a canvas print! I’m a long time stalker but I haven’t been bold enough to comment until offered a prize to do so :-)
Congratulations on your five year anniversary!
(Yes, I do feel silly about posting the comment on the wrong entry… maybe this is why I don’t comment much!)
Lairen Hawk:
#16 and #26 are by far my favorite! you take AMAZING photos!! God has blessed you with a talent to capture His beauty! Thanks for sharing them! :)

Paul Charette:
Hey Tony,
All beauty shots, wow.
I think #2 would look pretty epic at 40×60.
Have a good one.
Michael:
# 13 is awesome. great timing!
Nora Kaethler:
Hey Tony – I like the looks of #12 – nice comp and cool sky!
Jessica:
Definitely #28!!
Danielle Zaun:
Tony they are all so amazing but if I had to pick I’d say 25, 21, 11, 3, and 5
Kimsua Chay:
Wow those are some awesome photos!!! Makes me want to go back to Hawaii again that’s for sure!
james hong:
31 is my favorite! love the colors!
Becky Arcadi:
#1 is perfect, but #30 is my favorite. Breath-taking pictures! It looks like you had a blast! Hoooraahhhh!
Andrea:
#5 is my favorite…but they’re all incredible!
Looks like it was an awesome vacation! :)

haaaa so hard but I think #32 is the one for me.
So manu beautiful images though!!!!
Marie Coudriet:
# 25 Amazing!
Nicole Zook:
You made our Hawaii pics look like crap!!! :) I vote for #1
Ken:
I think my favorite is 26 (followed by 20, 5, and 4).
Sara:
Looks like you had a fabulous time! All the pictures are great!! My favorites are 11,13,32.
Emma:
i’ve been scrolling up and down for like 20 minutes…all these photos are amazing!!!!
But i THINK 17, 25 and 26 are my top 3 and if i have to pick just one of those 3…i’d say, 17. i think it captures so much…the clouds, the rocks, the mountains and the ocean.
as always i love seeing your work! looks like you and amy had an amazing time…and how could you not?! it’s hawaii!!
Sophy:
Def 14, 25, and maybe 40 if you don’t mind male dancers on the wall…hehe.
Denise:
Number 26!
Jill Dougherty:
LOVE all the pictures!! They are fantastic!! Hope you guys had an awesome time!
#1 is my favorite, closely followed by #9!!!
Allison:
#1 because it reminds me of Hawaii and it captures it so well> it would look great as a large canvas. I love 23 & 27, but it would depend on where you end up hanging the canvas.
elizabeth heppard:
looks like your trip was amazing! i pick #27 :-)
Lauren:
I like #2 and I also like #32..not because of the recent whale attack…
Heidi:
number #1! But they’re all amazing! and this is my first comment here, although i’ve been a blog stalker for….a long time :)
Hannah:
5! love it!
janine worley:
I pick number 32..it was so hard…they’re all beautiful!!
Delina:

I love them all but cast my vote to #21. Looks like a fabulous trip,full of beauty and fun. And love the T-shirt (my daughter went to Eastern)
ashley hicks:
amazing! hard to choose, but i pick 17
Brian:
I think 23 is beautiful.
amydale:
2, 10, or 11.
each are such pure captures of the natural beauty.
Lisa:
2 or 13, but all of them are great! Glad you had some time off to celebrate your 5 yr anniversary. You deserved it!
Lisa:
I think I meant 12, where the guy is lighting the torch…
Jim:
#1 for the canvas. Not my favorite, but my favorite for the medium.
Tyson Egbert:
Lucky! #2 for me. I love it! I would love to go there some day.
Stephanie Ball:
shoot. I just spent all this time on a clever post and it got erased somehow.
Basically, I give you my top three choices:
#15
#30
and #7
And indicate my jealousy at Kara being able to invite herself over for a slideshow and pizza.
Love,
Birdie
junk_bond:
#18 or 26 are my choices. Great shots!!
Todd:
I feel like a kid in a candy store. These are all sweet. If I had to pick one that would go perfect in my house, it would be #5. But the shot that truly makes me feel like I’m IN Hawaii is #1. Absolutely superb!
Rachel Reyes:
so since i posted my vote on the wrong site- – lol
#15
crossing my fingers… i hope i win! :)
Naomi Figueroa:
I’m a sucker for waterfalls…#25 (think it would look killer in B&W, just sayin). But I have a special request for you to photoshop Figs and me in there–I’m gonna pose as Kate Austen and he’ll be Sayid…yup, these shots definitely look like you visited some LOST sites. Definitely jealous!
Jonathan Rochin:
25 is awesome! (gonna pm you for directions)
All are sick! But Im a big fan of waterfalls
Sheryl C.:
I love #9! That rainbow is incredible!
Jeff Ambrose:
27, def 27.
Matt Schreier:
25 & 11 are amazing and I think would really look great on a wall i mean a canvas. But I guess its going to seem like a wall with how big you are going!!! Awesome pics my friend. Truely amazing.
Anita Wingard:
7 and 29 are my favorites
Jonathan Fletcher:
Hard to choose since they are all so awful, but #2.
Jessica:
I vote #20..it’s all natural and exotic.
Sarah Trainor:
#15. It’s serene and stunning. It will look amazing printed on canvas!
Jen O:
I love number 1 and 10…all of these are amazing. makes me desperately want to go back to Hawaii.
Mark Oakley:
I love number 11
Kimberly Sides:
I have never been to Hawaii, but it feels like I was there now! You captured awesome pics. from sun up to sun down….a well deserved trip to you both. My vote #25!
Erin Michelle:
First of all, I am SO jealous you guys went whale watching and actually SAW A WHALE! My vote goes to #12. Amazing.
Shannon:
I wish I knew what color scheme the room is where this picture will go, because all of the pictures are simply exquisite, it’s difficult to choose. I would say #32 is black&white will go well. otherwise, I love #5 for a color shot!
Tonia:
Such decisions! My favorites are 1, 3 and 14 but I think I am going with 14 as my favorite. Glad you & Amy had a fantastic trip – amazing pictures as always!
Danae:
The last one of Amy is the one! Ok, my real votes: #1 and #25 because they are both very romantic and captivating. I could probably stare at them for hours! However — #15 is the next one I’m adding to my list of photos from you for my wall whenever I get around to purchasing those old windows from June! I love the detail in that one.
Stephanie B:
I love #1. I’ve never been to Hawaii, but just looking at this post makes me want to go!

#14 Morning Dew, #25 Afternoon Falls & #1 Evening Bliss
Awesome photos!

Courtney Love:
All amazing of course but #26 and the trees I love!!!

David Colello:

Rob:
opps…I meant 1, 14, 24

#2, the colors are amazing and it would look great in a 40×60 on a wall all by itself. A conversational piece if you will.
Alisha:
#1, 13, and 18. So beautiful Tony!

#7 – I love the rock silhouettes and those clouds are unreal.
Paolo:
So, first comment on this wondeful blog… I vote #2, colors and DOF are mazing. The light is also gorgeous.
amanda:
#1- I know a lot of people said it before, but I look at it and just exhale. I feel like I’m IN the picture. Very calming and the colors are really pretty.
Erin:
13. Holy Moley Tony! Not sure where this print is going in your house, but 13 seems to epitomize Hawaii. I made it the background on my computer. Anything to help this winter go faster!
Erin:
13. Holy Moley Tony! I’m not sure where you plan to hang this print, but 13 epitomizes Hawaii to me. I made it the background on my computer with hopes that it will make spring/summer come sooner!

It was tough but the surfer and the rocks in #21 really stood out for me. Looks like you guys had a great time. The road to Hannah brought back memories. We all got car sick. Did you?
