1DX Replacement

[ewg963]

Yes I do. Very fortunate. I have put it through a high school basketball game so I will allow that to qualify as poor light albeit not a dark setting.

Autofocus is amazing. Quality of images seen from my 5Diii and 1DX are very similar. A little less noise on the 1DX files but nothing I would classify as amazing.

My 1DX will arrive tomorrow. I can't wait 12 months to hope to get a camera that I need now. I am stoked!

You should be... enjoy!!!

Best camera I have ever used. I really wondered if having a 5Diii was going to set me up for a less excited feeling. Not the case. While both cameras seem to give me same photo quality, there is no doubt AI Servo is a MONSTER on the 1DX. 12 FPS where 10 out of 12 frames are sharp, wow!

Too many features to name but I wish my 5Diii could save settings to the card. Biggest complaint against the 5diii now.

Hello Dude,
Wow you have both? Did you get a chance to put the DX through its paces in low light shooting yet?

Hi Dude,
Thank you for the input... I usually shoot concerts in small dark venues. My 5D Mark II hunts for a focal point and I end up missing the shot I want I know I'm speaking to the choir. I wish you all the best with your cameras.

Cheers Eddie.

I recently rented a 1DX for an event (outdoor pond hockey tournament in single digit temperatures), as I've been dying to try it one. It was even more impressive than I had expected. I'm used to my 7d and 5d3, and this just completely blew them away. At that price, I guess it should. I'm looking forward to seeing what the 1DX replacement is, only because I want a discounted 1DX ;-)

1) the autofocus, once I figured it out, was spot on
2) controls were awesome, right where they should be and very intuitive
3) it felt "lighter" than my 7d with grip (was it?)
4) stunning image quality

It truly "hurt" when I had to send it back.

P.S. big shout out to the folks at lensrentals.com - it was my first rental from them - fantastic service and I'll definitely use them again

I played with a 1DX and it was impressive. It really is a good jump from the 5DIII in almost every way. Except for image quality at most ISO levels. Though, I could only justify one if most of my income came from photography. Not yet.
