EOS 1DmkIV: Shooting World Cup Football

[boels069]

The recent 2010 World Cup in South Africa saw many of the world's best sports photographers shooting football action with the EOS-1D Mark IV DSLR - the first major football tournament where the camera was put through its paces. CPN covered the event in-depth, direct from Johannesburg, and has decided to re-publish a selection of the CPN video interviews from the event with photographers who explain the benefits of using the EOS-1D Mark IV DSLR.

At the 2010 World Cup the 'must-have' kit for Canon photographers was the EOS-1D Mark IV body, the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM zoom lens, the EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM telephoto lens, plus a fisheye or wideangle lens attached to a camera (usually triggered remotely by a foot pedal) placed behind the goal.
