Re: CR in Rwanda With The EOS-1D X Mark II
I think Tony's comments are being taken out of context. He says many times "for his type of shooting" and he says that his type of shooting is often BIF and "you can never get close enough".
In saying the 5DSR is a 'better' wildlife camera than the 1DX MkII he is specifically referring to the ability to crop the 5DSR much harder. Now what about people that don't need to crop? I hardly ever crop, I'd take the build quality frame rate and AF speed and accuracy over the subjective pixel advantage any day.
scottkinfw said:R1-7D said:I feel like while these are astoundingly great images, they could have been better. Tony Northrup says the 1DX 2 is not the best wildlife camera and the 5DSR with its 50 MP and the 7D2 with its crop sensor can deliver just as good or better shots.
Still, though, wonderful pictures! Beautiful animals.
Thank you for this comment. I saw the video of Tony with those comments. He did review pros and cons and I was somewhat surprised that he said 5DSR would give much better images. Tony went on to opine that a crop or a 5DSR would be superior for wildlife photography, especially when comparing the 1DXII with a TE. He also wento on to compare images which (imho) showed little differences in iq in a controlled situation.
I would be interested in opinions of CR people?
Thanks.
