Wildlife Photography across the Water: So where is the 1Dmk4?

So where is the 1Dmk4?

Looks like the forum rumour mills are stepping up into overdrive with more conspiracy theories over the Canon 1Dmk4.

Expectation has been set that deliveries were to commence in November, and then December and now into next year.

The consiracy theorists are working on the premise that all is not well and there must be problems with it.

I wouldn't necessarily suscribe to it, but Canon's communication processes do have form to support that view point, and silence doesn't help them

Anyway, it is not of great personal interest to me as I am very clear about the purchase of new DSLR's - let everyone else do the testing until they work OK, and let the prices come down.

The Canon 7D is testament to this - two lots of firmware and a drop of £500.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
