Cps gave me a 1dx and falling in love

[KKCFamilyman]

Just an awesome camera. Iso is a stop better. Being able to control iso, shutter and aperture values so it does not drop below them is awesome. The burst af is just amazing, caught more expressions that i feel I would normally miss since its so fast.

Do not like on/off switch, drive and a few buttons are different from 5d3 so just need to get used to it.
Meter is on right in VF and used to bottom.

But it hustles and feels like I have no excuse at this point with this beast. Also the colors seem a little nicer or its in my head.

Tomorrow I am going to use the 5d3 and compare raw files and hopefully I should now. Just so tempting.

You might as well change your signature to 1DX & 5D III

I just sold my 16-35 II + 50L, I have almost $3000 cash in hand - more L or 1DX : :

Seriously considering it. Well see when I switch back tommorrow if I feel
I missed anything from the 1d.

Nice problem to have.

I love my 1Dx and 5DIII combo esp using both simultaneously ;D

This is not a problem Dylan, it´s a Decision

@ Menace and Eldar - this is just a "want" thing, hope it stays that way

1Dx RAW files are better. Don't know why. I had a 1Dx and a 5D3 and sold the 5D3 and got another 1Dx. You'll love it.

Ditto! I have a 1DX infatuation... is there a support group for that yet?

Gotta look at the images but the af, shutter lag and burst was just a joy and it was like the first time I did a burst of shots in my first dslr. Will let you know how the final images came out.

You have been smitten - there is no cure - just buy a 1DX and worry about the consequences later!

I don't think so. Anyone I know who has shot with the 1Dx has the same problem and is no longer available to help others.

+1, I've tried several body/body combos like the 5DII and 7D, but none of them come close to my 1D X/5DIII pair. They are a perfect match 8)

It's a "fantasy" for many of us(including myself) to own this combo or just a 1D X. Maybe one day gents...

wouldn't a 1Dx/1Dx be the perfect match?

I like being able to "remove" the grip from my 1D X every now and then, so the 5DIII works better at that , and I LOVE the silent shutter. In all other ways, the 1D X wins hands down.

Fantastic to have both at the same time

Just love the af locks on. Exposure seems more accurate. The raws definitely have more latitude. If you pull the shadows too much in the 5d, the banding is apparent and the 1d files gives you more. What was nice was not the burst but how accurate it was. Caught so many more moments of the active kids.

Nice shots and did you also notice that the auto white balance actually works? Canon's gotten better over the years, but the 1D X finally gets it all the way right. I have a feeling that your credit card is getting ready to put on some weight

So, what is the verdict KKCFamilyman?
