1DX owners are you upgrading to the 1DX Mark II?

[Schultzie]

I got $1500 for it. I imagine it would have been a little higher had the outside not had some of the paint chipped off so you could see bear metal. I bought the kit with the CFast card and reader.

Schultzie what did you get for 1dx?

Buy body or kit w or wo hard drive curious?

From my prior list:

Still on the fence, will a switch allow me to get photos that I can't now?:

Pros for me:

-More F8 points in wider spread, better autofocus with all lenses
-Possible better high iso noise (as yet undocumented to me)?more pliable files
-Possible better DR in lower iso again show me the proof
-Reasonable cost-the dollar yen will probably be worse in a year or two
-CFast card speed
-GPS
-available while I can still use heavy equipment
-higher Mp count better for cropping "reach"

Cons for me:

-inconvenience of switching (selling 1dx, etc.)

Not important to me I'll take them, just not important to a buy decision:

-higher frame rate
-antiflicker
-4K


This list is still developing so reading the new owners comments in a vacuum (to prevent GAS contact).

I add the 5d IV factors to push me toward 5d4 rather than Dx mii

->30 MP
- same f8 focus as Dx mii
- same high iso as mii, lower iso DR improvements
- 7 or more fps

I note again that Roger at lens rentals says that high MP makes all lenses better, and at least in some recent posts art Morris is singing the praise for the 5 D SR .

I ditched my 5dsr in favor of the 1dxii. While the images were great and sharp, everything else about it was a big disappointment. Even the AF system which shares the same functions as the 7d2 and 1dxii was very slow with moving objects. Even the 7dmarkii was noticeably better at tracking. The camera you use should be based on the system and not just sensor performance. Im sure the 5d4 will be a winner at what it does. Just keep in mind more MP doesnt automatically make it better. It can in fact slow down everything else in the camera and in post processing. Keep your passion at heart and decide what you really need for the kinds of photos you shoot.
