Just confirming I got my canon 1 dx about an hour ago from calumet Manchester apparently they got 9 bodies in and mine was the first to be collected!! I have just got it home it is absolutely amazing I can't take the smile off my face! The battery only had a small amount of charge in it I have just put my 85mm 1.2L lens on left it in program mode and took some quick shots of my wife painting the house inside!! I think it will be a while before I venture out of "P" mode it's that good!!! Put it in al servo mode just to see how fast it was, it was like a machine gun with every picture pin sharp and exactly the same exposure!!! The camera truly is amazing if yours is on order you are going to love it!!!

Interested to hear what the 1DX's focusing abilities does to the focus speed and accuracy of the 85mm 1.2 !
(Plus, will many including OP be thinking of getting a focus screen (something lacking in the 5DMk III)?)

Please ....Please post Raw files at ISO 800 1600 3200 6400.

Yasmin

actually make that ISO100. It's hard to judge much from random shots but a few things like DR can be measured and Canon already does fine there at the high isos. An ISO100 RAW file would be awesome. Any subject is fine, although a pure black frame (body cap on, dark room, 1/8000th, ISO100) is best. Just curious if they put some special new tech in the 1DX sensor compared to the 5D3 and older sensors and if it has say D4-like DR or not (I'm not expecting it to be able to match D800 DR).

Anyway, have fun!
