EOS Bodies / Re: 1Dx availability in the UK
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:02:08 AM »
Ordered mine from LCE Southampton on the 30th June & paid a £500 quid deposit, & it arrived on the 18th July. SORTED. I am a Canon CPS Gold member, for what it worth?
BUT it has got the AFMA issue though & I have reported it to LCE asking them to contact Canon & get back to me.

This is crazy, I have just left the camera off for 10 minutes & tried it again and NOW its remembering the AFMF settings for both len's. WIERD 
Could it be dirty lens connections???

I have the same problem . I picked mine up today from LCE Southampton, UK. I tried manually entering the serial No of the lens as the camera does not recognise the s/number, & it still has the same problem. I tried it with a new 70-200L F2.8 Mk2 & a 35mm F1.4L.
Must be a firmware issue??

The two photos don't look like the same body/model to me, The PCB Broad in the middle looks totally different to me.

Canon General / Re: Where the EOS Digital Camera came from
« on: January 21, 2012, 12:23:39 PM »
The also did a monochrome only version of these cameras EOS-DCS-1M, DCS-3m, DCS-5M. I think I’m correct in saying that it’s the only Digital all monochrome camera that Canon has ever made. They were also available in, infrared Monochrome versions as well.
EOS DCS-1. Sensor Size, 27.6 mm x 18.4 mm, 3060 x 2036-pixels
Un-acquired image file size: approximately 6 megabytes (MB) for each image. Acquired image file sizes: approximately 18 MB for each color image acquired normally at 8-bit acquire (and 36 MB when 12-Bit Acquire is on), and 6 MB for each monochrome image.
EOS DCS-3. Sensor Size, 20.5 mm x 16.4 mm, 1268 x 1012-pixels.
Un-acquired image file size: approximately 1.3 megabytes (MB) for each image. Acquired image file sizes: approximately 3.9 MB for each color image acquired normally at 8-bit acquire (and 7.8 MB when 12-Bit Acquire is on), and 1.3 MB for each monochrome or infrared image.
EOS DCS-1. Sensor Size 3.8 mm x 9.2 mm, 1524 x 1012-pixels.
Un-acquired image file size: approximately 1.5 megabytes (MB) for each image. Acquired image file size: approximately 4.5 MB for each color image acquired normally at 8-bit acquire (and 9 MB when 12-Bit Acquire is on), and 1.5 MB for each monochrome or infrared image.

Canon General / Where the EOS Digital Camera came from
« on: January 21, 2012, 07:05:20 AM »
Just thought some of you might be interested to see where the EOS Digital Cameras started from in 1995 the EOS-DCS1, DCS-3, EOS-DCS5. New at the time this lot would have cost you around £42,000. YES I DID SAY Forty Two Thousand UK Pounds. From what little I can find out mainly bought by newspapers for their photo guys. These are part of my own collection of Canon Cameras. Any Info anyone one might have please get in contact.

EOS Bodies / Re: Is it worth picking up the 1D-X?
« on: December 23, 2011, 04:15:37 AM »
Is the 1DX worth it? From what I am reading on the CPS Site the answer is 100% YES (well for me at least). Whatever the 5d MK3 has it won’t ever be as good with the AF as the 1DX. Lower level cameras never are as good with AF as the 1D series (the 1DMK3 being the exception) it wouldn’t be in Canons interest to make them that way as it would kill sales of the Pro Level cameras.
Six preset Case studies
There are six AF ‘Case studies’ preset within the EOS-1D X with an icon and example usage within the menu display to allow for optimisation of AF options.
• Case 1 is for general purpose shooting that provides accurate and fast focus across a wide range of shooting situations.
• Case 2 is designed for situations where the subject may move away from the AF point momentarily.
• Case 3 allows you to instantly focus on subjects that enter the AF point area.
• Case 4 is designed for subjects that change speed or direction rapidly.
• Case 5 is designed for use with automatic AF point selection, Zone AF and AF Point expansion and subjects that move erratically, up and down or left and right.
Case 6 is for subjects that change speed abruptly and move erratically. Like ‘Case 5’ it is used with Automatic AF point selection, Zone AF and AF Point Expansion.
I will be selling my 1DsMk3 ASAP to buy a 1DX but will keep the 1DMK4 as I like the 1.3 crop. I personally am not that bothered about the 12 fps but more interested in the lower noise levels the 1DX Promises but I will wait for it to be released before buying one.

Once in 2 years, I bought the 1DMk4 for taking photos NOT Video, a total waste of space & money for something I never use. I just wish Canon would separate the two formats completely. Ie if you want video then buy a video camera NOT A DSLR. By combining the two formats its just a POOR jack of all trades & master of NONE.
