1DX, ISO 200, 1/250, F11, 1.4X, EX600RT

Original topic can be found via below link:
http://www.photographybay.com/2015/08/02/canon-5d-x-with-quad-core-digic-7-processor-rumors/#comments

Original topic of content:
"New rumors about the upcoming Canon 5D X have surfaced over at the DP Review forums. The rumors claim that the Canon 5D X will feature a single DIGIC 7 quad core processor, while the upcoming 1D X Mark II will have two DIGIC 7 processors and one DIGIC 6 processor (perhaps the DIGIC 6 processor will be used for AF processing?).

According to forum poster MichaelVadon:

The Digic 7 is going to be a quad core cpu which will allow 4x the processing power for high MP, high frame rate bodies. The 5DX will contain one Digic 7 and the 1DX Mark II will contain 2 Digic 7s and 1 Digic 6. The Digic 6 will be for metwring and other smaller tasks. The 1DX will have a different larger battery while thr 5DX will keep going with the same.

This comes from the same forum member that first dropped the 5D X name last month as the camera to replace the 5D Mark III.

Prior rumors about the Canon 5D X have pointed to a 24-28MP sensor, 8-9fps still image frame rate, a new flash system and 4K video capture.

As with all rumors, take these with a heavy dose of salt until we hear something a little more solid than a forum posting."

I am waiting...

Hi everyone.

I have a private photo safari scheduled October 20 to Nov 5th this year. Greg du Toit voted #1 wildlife photographer worldwide in 2013, and will be teaching us all aspects of photography.

After the land portion, we will spend about 2 1/2 days doing shark cage dives, and snorkeling with seals.

I am looking for a serious photographer, who is interested in taking a trip of a lifetime. Must be easy going.

If you are not interested in the dive part, that will be optional.

If you are interested or know of someone, please contact me ASAP.

Thanks.

Friends - Happy friendship day!!
I have 2 Canon 1dc. Do you think the time has come to sell at least one of them now? I want to sell before Canon comes up with a model that is much cheaper with same features and the price of the 1dc drops hard?
Appreciate any input.

Hello everyone,

It doesn't pump anymore but still extends/retracts, unlike for example the 70-200mm, 200-400mm zooms...

Not beating around the bush, what's the deal with internal dust?

This thread is for every owner of the recently released successor of the 'dust pump', who uses the lens a lot in harsh outdoor conditions.

Ruined · Aug 1, 2015

Hi,
Sometimes I like to put the camera on easy mode (Aperture Priority+auto shutter+auto ISO).

The 7D2's firmware appears to default to 1/focal length for shutter speed when metering if auto ISO is on.

Is there any way to dynamically have it calculate shutter speed to 1/(focal length*2) instead? I know min shutter speed can be set but that is static as far as I know.

EDIT: Found it, under ISO Speed setting.

I took this hummingbird shot with an infrared (590nm) 6D recently. AF didn't work so I had to manually focus it, which was a bit difficult. I am curious what you think of the shot.

I want to come up with something to use at a daytime outdoor event to do pet and or people portraits. Anyone care to share experiences with these? I am thinking white would be the best color and most of them seem to be 10x10 size. I would like something bigger, maybe putting two end to end to gain space for using longer lens. Brand or model info would be helpful as well. No worries about available space or bad weather.

Hi, i'm wanting to purchase a Canon full frame 5D camera, just wanting to know if i should purchase the 5D iiii or wait for the 5D IV (also known as 5D X). I've currently got an photography business that does birthdays, engagements and christening, and hopefully weddings in the future, and i'm wanting to upgrade to full frame.

Rumours are suggesting that the new 5D IV or (also known as 5D X) will be launched in Q1 2016
Rumoured specs are:
24MP
new DIGIC processor
4K video
12fps
Dual CFast
61 AF Points (all cross-type)
ISO 100-204,800

Is it worth waiting or should i just purchase the 5D Mark iii now?
Also 5D IV might hit AUD $5,000+ body only, so again, is it even worth it?
Would love your thoughts
Thanks

What is this? It seems to be a staple in Canon lens patents... Is it just a translation glitch?

Google search just brings up patents. I have seen it jokingly explained on this site... Have not found a genuine explanation...

hey everybody

Quick question: Does ISO affect dynamic range or more specifically, do higher ISO affect DR negatively?

If so, how does ISO 50 compare to ISO 100?

chasinglight · Jul 31, 2015

Hi,

I have been using the 100-400 I for airshows for several years now and have been generally very happy with the lens, but with the vII out I can't help but wonder if I should upgrade. The improved spec that I am most interested in is the IS. As you know for shooting prop planes you need to pan at slow shutter speeds; ideally around 1/60s. Now panning definitely requires good technique and a lot of practice, but in my experience IS in mode 2 can't hurt.

So the question is for anyone that has used both the vI and vII for airshows, motorsports, or some other type of photography that requires panning at relatively slow shutter speeds, do you see an improvement in the vII over the vI? Do you see more keepers?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm wondering where folks sell their gear. I've done Craigslist before, but it seems tougher when the gear gets more expensive. Is it worth it to sell your gear through other outlets like B&H or eBay? What's the experience like with B&H? Any input appreciated. Thanks!

Leadfingers · Jul 31, 2015

Im in the market for a new Rebel... probably a T6s. I have found a few discount dealers, but I seem to recall hearing on this board that if you buy discount, that there's a chance you'll get a gray market body.

How would I be able to tell?

Roger at LensRentals.com has completed his initial testing of the Sigma 24-35mm f/2 Art series lens and has come away pretty impressed.</p>
<p>From LensRentals.com:</p>
<blockquote><p>Some people are going to be a bit disappointed (I admit I am a bit myself) because they really wanted a zoom that was every bit as good as their prime lenses. What we actually have is a zoom that’s as good at f/2.0 in the center as their prime lenses, but like almost every other zoom isn’t quite as good as a prime off-axis. When even the best optical engineers (and lately Sigma seems to have some of the best optical engineers) design a wide-aperture zoom lens, some compromises have to be made. In this case there’s a lot of astigmatism away from center. There’s good news for you who are disappointed now: Computer image analysis (like Imatest and DxO) don’t show astigmatism directly so this lens will probably look better with those test results than it does on the optical bench. <a href="http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/07/a-quick-look-at-the-new-sigma-24-35-f2-art" target="_blank">Read the full article</a></p></blockquote>

I had about 5 minutes at a camera store last night to do some quick shots with the 5Ds. I had my 5D Mk III and 7D MK II with me and I wanted to see how far I can underexpose and then push to recover the files.
I only included the two full frame camera here. The 7D MK II is several stops better than the 5D MK III at low ISO but still behind the 5Ds.

From a pure IQ and RAW leeway aspect, the 5Ds series is a no-brainer. The RAW files are amazing.

This was posted on the german canon facebook site and on the german canon website:

http://www.canon.de/for_home/product_finder/camcorders/professional/me20f-sh/

What do you think about this?

Edit: I try to translate some of the information:

- ISO 4,000,000
- Full HD 1080p / 1080i / 720p recording
- up to 50p/59,94p
- compatible with EF lenses and "canon servo lenses with 12 pin connection" (list of compatible lenses to be announced)
- integrated ND- and infrared-filters

Edit 2:
I found an english article with the following information on engadet http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/30/canon-me20f-sh/
- $30,000 (MSRP) body
- available in December

Edit 3:

just saw that there already is a thread to this topic: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=27229.0
Can someone explain why this thread is in the rumors section because since this is an official announcement it isn't a rumor anymore. Or am I wrong on this?

I have 3 LP-E4 for my 1Ds III and one of them died completely. So the curious person I am, opened it up. Finding it worked with three 18650 LiIon-Cells, just as expected from its shape. One of the Cells was dead, the other two not that bad for 6 Years old.

So I got three working cells and exchanged them. After putting it back together it was able to be charged again, today I will test how well it behaves in Camera. Three green bars in the Battery menu seem promising:

Here are some Photos for you

Interesting how much electronic is in there, I have looked some of these chips up and there is a micro-controller, a dedicated battery protection chip and some relatively big MOSFETs in there.

Hello All,

I will be in Canada 26.09-18.10 with my wife. I'm attending a work conference until 30.09 in Quebec but after that we plan on travelling across Canada.

We are mostly interested in wildlife and natural beauty (occasionally cultural heritage).

Can you recommend things / places to see ?

Are there (US-style) national parks in Canada ? are they open at that time of year ?

I'm planning to take two bodies EOS 5dII and 7DI with 14mm Samyang / 24-70mm f2.8 Tamron / EF 70-200mm f2.8 and ef 400mm f2.8. I'm wondering whether I should take a fast prime (50mm f.14) with me as well ?

BTW - if I order Photographic equipment from BH and have it sent to Canada - will I have to pay VAT ?
I'm a EU citizen.

All comments and suggestions welcome.

--Thomas

Mitch.Conner · Jul 30, 2015

I found the article from Lens Rentals comparing Canon's 24-70 and 70-200 zooms to Nikon's. I thought it was interesting that the comparisons were done in such a way that different camera bodies didn't taint the results.

Out of curiosity - are there other similar comparisons out there? I can't find any that isolate the lenses.

Gee whizz, a clock!

fair tomorrow · Jul 29, 2015

So I was set on my decision to get the 6D untI'll recently, I had a chance to use a 5d mark iii for a week and I swear I fell in love. But I do think the camera is a bit heavy. So im wondering should I get the 6d with 24-105 and a 50 1.4. Or just a 5d mark iii with 24-105?
