Canon EOS-1D X Delays

[Loswr]

Now, i still need to wait another 2 months to get mine!

Optimist!!

Hi - I know it is not a really fair comparison, but would you have any views on quality of 1D IV vs IDX or the 5D III please?

I won't comment anything about 1D X image quality yet, sorry.

Understand, any view cf 1D IV?

 

[Stu_bert]

So they are close then ...

I didn't have much time do compare them more - I wanted to enjoy 1D X as much as possible, so I left 5D III behind But yes, 5D III's AF is great, I'm not afraid to say better then 1D IV.

From what we can start seeing left and right on various post, it looks very promissing! (ok ok wishful thinking on my part since I ordered it and paid in full already!).

I wanted to see how much the IDX or 5D III was better, I just figure there will be a good number of MK IVs going for a good deal soon, and since no f/8 on the 1DX then I like to look at options...

Very! Haha ;D

Canon really did do a great job there... I understand the price increase *in their eyes* - they've produced a mini 1dx.

Definitely. Today I took 5D III to the truck racing testing day and had maybe 10 misfocused shots out of 400...

Set the 1D4 Low continuous and see how many you miss ....

I have no choice, I have to find something to keep me going - hope is all I have left for the 1DX!



I think when and if I get it, I will bring it to bed with me! - lol

ISO6400 seemed similar to ISO3200 on my 5dii, which is what I was expecting..

Very impressed. IQ looks like it's a real step up from my 5dii.

So this would suggest little change from the mkiii from iso perspective. Did you have a chance to shoot with 5d mkiii by curiousity?

My current view was the 5diii was 2/3rd stop better than the 5dii and the 1dx was 1/2 stop better than the 5diii.

This is just seeing other random files around the place...

The 1dx files do seem ... crisper somehow. I'd say there was a difference between the two cameras.

I'm pretty sure that moire filters have less of an effect the larger a sensors pixels are.

The crisper image may just be due to bigger sensels being easier on lenses. Anti-aliasing filters are designed for each sensor, so smaller sensel ones have "weaker" AA filters.

I want to see a picture of that

What lens will you choose : :

Set the 1D4 Low continuous and see how many you miss ....

Yes, that might be true. But even in one shot 5D III is more accurate and faster

... really ??? What evidence fo you have to support that? And if you are not using the centre AF point how many shots do you miss getting bad metering on the 5DIII?

lol...i will use a new super wide lens only made for video, it has a 5mm focal length, has IS, will have no use for still photographer, but will be likely delivered before the 1DX ships!

;D ;D ;D

You are lucky - my wife keeps suggesting a MP-E65

2 years of shooting with 1D IV and 1 week with 5D III.
I wasn't talking about metering at all.

Correct you were talking about missed shots and accuracy - which I would guess involves the AF system and AF points.

Previous discussions about AF established that there was 4ms difference in the AF speed - so little I would say irrelevant.

Accuracy - are you saying that the 1D4 is not accurate then - you put up with 2 years of OOF photos?? No wonder you downgraded to the 5DIII

I didn't downgrade, 5d3 is just lended. All I'm saying is is that 5d3 focuses better, take it or leave it

Thank you I will leave it - the 5DIII offers nothing to me, just reduced functionality

Snce you already shoot with a 1 series Brian i can see how you would be less excited by the mkiii. I have never owned a 1series myself but this is why i decided to go for the 1dx instead, the little things it will do more then the mkiii will mean a lot for me!

I've been shooting with 1D series for 6 years and still I'm impressed with 5DIII AF. Strange world out there
