Cps gave me a 1dx and falling in love

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.

So, what is the verdict KKCFamilyman?

He has been smitten - there is no cure. He simply has to get one for himself!

Really want it but have decisions like get it or

16-35f4
Sigma 50mm 1.4
More backdrops
The new 1-400 when it drops

So really really tempted.

Heavily so want it.

This Blue Jay was the main reason I said could the 5d track that? I know its not any award winning photo but it is good to me especially in a burst you don't know you have it like that till playback.

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

The AWB may be better than the 5D3, but it's still pretty bad and misses more than it gets it right. I always have to adjust WB in post if I don't set it manually. That's my only complaint but it's easy to fix.

I wish the next 1d body will have an option to order with no built in grip
It's the single deal breaker for me I don't want a house brick these days but I want the performance

Thats part of my hesitation. Would pay more to have the feature/sensor in a 5d body with the grip option.

Must say that I would never want the 1D X without its built in grip. It makes the whole camera more solid, balances it all out, helps when changing axis, feels good in the hand and means you have one less thing to worry about when packing for an important job - because what can come off, can also be forgotten.

+1 with expatinasia. I tried the 1D X + 70-200 f2.8 IS II at local today, the balance is much-much better over 5D III.

yeah i just dont want the grip or the bulk, prefer the 5D form sans grip but thats just me and probably a bunch of other people too

Plenty of people in both camps however, I do prefer the ergonomics of 1Dx + 70-200 even in my relatively small hands.

So when will u place the order???

This is my first 1D body and I have to say despite the weight, it is way more comfortable to shoot with not only with large aperture zooms but with short lenses like the 85 1.2 or 35 1.4

the 40mm pancake is the only lens I prefer on my 5D. And if size/space is a tight restriction, I ditch both for the M.

Probably this week. Going on vacation and not sure if I should pull the trigger or wait till I get back. I really want it but was thinking of getting a few more lenses to my arsenel like the new 16-35, 17mm tse, 8-15 fisheye, 50mm 1.4 sigma.

Hmmm - tough call.

Yeah the 1dx is awesome but if I move on the lenses I will be pretty set fo awhile and probably wait till a 1d whatever or 5d4 comes out. But like I said the 1d just has so many features that complement my 5d.

Finally pulled the trigger. Could not be happier. Ended up paying $5449 for a new USA model. Now I can work on some more L glass. Thanks so much for everyone's comments.

Congrats, and wow, that's an amazing price!

Also, for those following this post, let this serve as a warning...if you even touch the 1D X, it will make you buy one...first Dylan, now KKCFamilyman... ;D
