No, the 1DX does have fast frame rates which I'm willing to give up and it has that awful 1 series body which I will never buy or even consider.
I don't get all this hate on 1 series body style, with so many grips sold and so many using grips - I don't get it, why wouldn't you want a second set of controls for portrait orientation shooting?
?
It's heavy, too big, doesn't fit in my waist bag, and it useless to me on 99.9% of my shots. I have shot 150,000 shots on cameras without grips and have never even shopped around for a grip for them. Every time I shoot on someone else's gripped camera I find it uncomfortable, and every time I've use a 1 series I've found them next to impossible to use at all. I have little hands and can't even touch the shutter release with my hand positioned properly on the grip.
an average sized hand should fit a 1 series body fine, or any other body with a grip. You have smaller than average hands, so, unless you get a custom design body, then your stuck with camera bodies designed for average sized hands.
If the grip is too big, how do you even hold a non gripped 5d, or a 7d? Sounds like you need a much smaller body in general...
either way, the point is, your also asking for 1d specs in a much smaller cheaper body, just not happening....if the grip is too big for you, then so will this new 7d....
and PS...not attacking you directly, your like the sixth person I have seen on here hating on the built in grip...
