Canon EOS-1D X Delays

[kozakm]

After first photoshooting ("small" soccer in the gym) I'm impressed - I have never seen something that fast. Together with 70-200/2.8 L IS II it's an incredible machine.

if the 5d3 does -2 ev in what conditions doesn't really matter after trying it, with fast lenses it's VERY good and way better than anything I have tried before....

Good point.  The new AF is for sure light years ehead of the old mkII AF.  I would not be surprised that the 1DX is even faster but due to which technical aspect I am not sure (maybe dedicated CPU for metering)...in anycase, they both represent great improvement to what we had before!

I notice that tracking faces is very hard, also with the 5d3, it jumps to bright clothes a bit too often. I think this is where the 1d X will be insanly good... With faster speed of the lens-usm's and tracking color and/or faces will truly make it astonishing, imo.

hum... and where did you get that?

Seems the 1dx is officially delayed to mid June, according to dpreview. It was seeming more and more likely

I had a wedding abroad in June that I really wanted to use it for. Such a shame

Could you write a review on your web-site? There's so little information about the camera so far.

You lucky devil, how did you land this?  Is it a production one or did you get a pre-production unit?  Why not post some raw file if you can?  Dont tease us like this!

Got it from local Canon (1D IV on the right is my own), 1DX is a preproduction unit. Sample photos (jpgs from raws in Camera Raw) posted on my website (see link above).
