Anything Shot with a 1Dx mark II

Great Camera, this picture shows the low light capabilities, hand held with a 70-200mm L IS II, at f/2.8 and 1/125s, Auto ISO set to 6400.

Pretty pathetic that I should be posting my first sample photo with the 1DX II that's not very good but that's exactly why. I'd like to hear if it appears to be what I should expect for IQ given that it's ISO 12800.

400 DO II X2 III F8 1/800 ISO 12800 Neutral Sharpness moved to 0 in DPP AF AI servo spot focus point ended up mid wing. Weather has not cooperated with me (6" of snow yesterday!!) for AFMA.

Congrats for your new 1DX II, Jack

Well, here is my first photo posting that isn't just an experiment. Still too low light but at least I got my AFMA pretty close, I think.

I'm picking up a 1Dx2 and 300 f2.8 (Mk1) on Friday. ;D Only on weekend rental, mind you, but at least I will see what all the fuss is about and decide if I go lens or body as my next step.

Neither one of those will perform anything short of amazingly well so it's almost like you don't need to bother with the experiment.

Of course you will benefit from knowing what features you like and how it might fit your needs and that's very valuable.

Knowing how long it's taking me to really understand how to customize everything to optimize it for my style and maximum benefit, I'm not sure I could have evaluated the camera over a weekend. It reminds me of the various reviewers who have criticized the camera for shortcomings that are not there if it is correctly programmed.

You will have a blast and that's worth the price of admission! Good luck.

Thanks Jack. I can understand your comments.

The immediate idea is to check things like ISO performance with and without cropping and if there is an overriding preference for lens or camera first (I am a 'lens first' kind guy).
So its a trip down to the zoo and feel that AF lock on

Have fun and please let us know. Happy shooting

Another dull day so here I am with ISO 12800 but that's what I'm living with and I'm dying to post something. Flash is impractical at this distance with 800mm - F8 1/1250

I like that shot, Jack.

 

[Jack Douglas]

I like that shot, Jack.

Thanks, I like it too but it was a disappointment when I realized how much noise I had to deal with. I'll keep trying.

Have you heard of the Better Beamer (there are now alternatives) - it is a fresnel prism to focus the light for further throw.

Thanks for this. Just checked for me to Alberta - $80.99 CAD, which is kind of expensive but if it really is a good product I'd probably go for it - anyone have this version?

Previous products I've just been on the fence since typically they were not available in Canada and we get dinged badly on import fees.
