It is a start, but I'd like to see more Hi-ISO shots as well. Further, I'd love to see some RAW files, but this will have to wait I guess.

Honestly, the ISO 1600 is not really impressive as shown there. I was hoping for more details in that. But I am willing to wait for more samples before judging anything ;)

compared to the D800 shot at ISO 320 it looks good. :D

but to be honest the 1600 shot of the models is not sharp.
i can do better with my 5D MK2.

And very nice they are too.

Can't be bothered with all the pixel peeping. What i can see are some very nice pictures that will look good in Newspapers, on Web Sites, in Photograph Portfolios and winning some photographic competitions.

And more importantly, from a camera that has so much 'at the ready equipment' that the chances of grabbing those shots without planning etc have gone up dramatically. As some one who takes his camera most places with him on the premise i might see a great shot - i could easily justify getting one of these if i weren't unemployed.

Accept it, it's a great camera, it's just that price, and whether you need or can handle lugging something that big around with you!

ISO 1600 looks almost as good as my 7D @ ISO 160-200. At lower ISO (check the ISO 400-800 examples), shadows in the 1DX are much cleaner, and subtle color transitions are much, much smoother than the 7D at base ISO (especially in ISO 400 sample). DR is visibly better, too; I'm really looking forward to going FF...

For what its worth, on the sample video, it's not full HD res online, but some scenes were shot at 51,000 as noted in the end of the video... not bad... Compared with the nikons video from the D800, I am kinda bummed the 1dx video didn't have more panning to show rolling shutter than plagued the first gen cameras... The nikon video of the motorcycle had lots of pans/whips... oh well... hope they fixed that at least or perhaps they didn't and they are "shooting to the cameras strengths"

It would be better if the lighting was marginal to give a better indication, but looking at the deep shadow behind the model, it looks pretty impressive to me, certainly much cleaner than my 5D MkII. Even at ISO 800 I can find noise at ISO 800 if I look hard enough, although it isn't a problem of course. It's cleaner than a couple of ISO 800 shots with my 5D MkII (just), but it's difficult to judge comparative noise reduction levels (zero in mine to whatever is used in the samples). It's impossible to compare dynamic range to any of mine though. It's definitely at least one stop better in terms of noise and possibly two, so it probably falls somewhere in between if you have the RAW files for comparison.

Well, comparing the ISO640 shot from the D800 to the ISO1600 shot from the 1D X, I'm pretty impressed with the noise on the 1D X...its damn good at that ISO! I think the photo is a little soft though....not sure what that is...over-aggressive AA filter/slightly out of focus/camera shake....either way, the ISO640 shot from the D800 is definitely sharper. I hope the 1D X doesn't suffer from the same softness problem as the 7D (which, while certainly manageable, is probably one of the few annoyances I have with that body.)

The slight softness on the skin could be due to processing, as her eyes look sharp to me. The ISO400 shot probably shows too much skin detail for a portrait.

I took some time to shoot a comparison between the 1Dx and the 5D Mark II, I found a scene with similar tones, then did a 1600 iso shot with the same settings (default jpg)

It appears the 1Dx and the 5D II have nearly the exact same noise levels, which would make sense considering quantum efficiency is likley very similar.

Here's a back to back comparison of a 100% crop of the 1Dx and a 21mp 5DII shot resized to 18mp. The noise has been enhanced with a high pass filter for easier inspection with an identical setting on the final composite:

It's worth mentioning though that according to DxO Mark Canon lied about the iso sensetivity of the 5D Mark II, so iso 1600 is really iso 1093 etc, a huge dicrepancy to make the camera seem like it has better noise performance. So this potentially means the camera if it is less deceptive about it's iso is somewhat better. Also let's not forget that it probably has better dynamic range and low iso noise and perhapse it has less banding etc so it looks better at high iso.

useless.. post the originals or nothing.
