Great pictures there!applecider said:
Yes, they are only low-resolution samples. But the details and color retention in ISO10000 is very impressive.

Darn, those are beautiful.
Would love to see those birds at higher resolution to see the actual noise.
And I guess he intentionally always used +1/3 stop (8000, 32000) above nominal ISOs to get less noise.
But beautiful pics anyway.

Nice find, thank you, I was looking earlier and couldn't see it.
Andy went back to Canon when they launched the 1DX and his images at high iso with that body made a lot of people look again.
He's suggesting that indeed the sensor has improved considerably "(especially in shadow detail where there is NO noise)" which is essentially what should keep people happy.

I also had the heat sink battery idea when I made my post last month:Mark D5 TEAM II said:

I just called it a LP-E4-HS (for Heat Sink)
My engineering brain still works

TPatana why would shooting at a third higher iso be lower noise? Is it a way of shooting to the right?
I've heard photographers who don't believe that the partial stops third halfs are actual read outs but only electronically amplified and not true exposure stops. In that belief a 6400 iso is essentially the same as 8000 or 10000 which are just more amplified, so there is no reason to say shoot stars at ten k since it would be the same as 6400 without manipulation which can be done in post.
Or is it another effect or belief?
Thanks in advance.

It depends on sensor. At least older sensor all but 1D sensor had less noise when shooting +1/3. I think the reason was that the camera was over-exposing by 1/3, and then bringing it digitally down. Basically same idea than ETTR.
Some 1D bodies had native 1/3 stops so it didn't apply to them. Not sure on 1DX2, and/or maybe that guy just used it from old habit.

I believe he meant "overexpose to correct a post production."applecider said:
From what I read, 1DX is perhaps the only Canon camera that is truly independent signal amplifiers to ISO 100, 125, 160 etc.
Other models have only real camera amplifiers to ISO 100, 200, 400 ...
The fractions ISO 125, 250, 500, etc. are pushed digitally, which increases noise.
And the ISO fractions 160, 320, 640 are pulled digitally, which hides the noise.

The best statement in Andy's article, "There will also be the ludicrous picking over of all the specs as well, a pointless exercise if ever there was one."
People need to quit spending hours arguing specs and whining because it doesn't have this or that. Get up and away from your computer monitor and take pictures!

Well you knew the Canon EOLs would have blog posts pre-canned and at the ready as soon as their NDAs expired. The handful I've read so far (of those I've found) look really amazing. Granted it's jpegs on the web, but it's hard to fudge ISO 10,000 and beyond. Like Private, I too am anxiously awaiting some RAW files to play with like when the 5DSR came out. Soon as I got my hands on the RAWs from Digital Picture, I knew my pre-order was going to stand. Though I may not pre-order a 1DX2, I will be eagerly socking away capital to purchase it. My only qualm is now that Canon has shown the commitment on on sensor ADC with this body, I may feasibly be better off waiting for the 5D4 since it's more germane to the bulk of my work. That said, a 1DX2 delivers 90% of the resolution of my 5D3 now (disregarding sensor IQ for a moment and using nothing but pixel count) which is still ample for my general projects (personal shooting, political campaign work, event coverage, etc...) and I would no longer have the $360 expense of renting the 1DX the one time a year I really require it. My portrait work is done on my 5DSR now. I'm at a crossroads. I'd likely sell my 5D3 and 6D (and probably my 7D, since I almost never use it) to buy this.

PS - If Canon does release the 50L MkII this year as I suspect they absolutely will... I am going to be sending them so much money in 2016... at least I have a certain plan for that. Sell my Sigma 35 & 50 ARTs.

Well spotted, but Oh NO !
This means it really could have more DR. What are we going to argue about now on CR ? Numerous Trolls - nay - hundreds of Trolls are going to have to reinvent themselves or risk unemployment8)

Only JPEG but that is a very good performance and a big improvement on the MkI.
I am very encouraged by these crops.

I once registered that Canon used the same photo to promote the old and new versions of a lens.
Of course Canon could just have called in the same girls, in the same dresses to do the same pose in the same place a few years apart?
