The video is classed as private and cannot be viewed.
If you aren't the owner you need to get the owner to make it available.

hmmm, not sure why that's happened..... it had almost 9000 hits since being uploaded 12 hours ago, maybe vimeo couldn't cope ;)

Question: How does the video on the 1DMIV compare to the 7D?

Higher ISO capability. It's not full frame but the crop is less than the 7D. Not exactly sure but they must have some killer noise reduction going on under that hood. I think you are looking at better low light performance. But the body for the MK4 is about 5K the body of the 7D is $1700.00. I'm sure there will be more tests.
