Damn you 1DX!!!!!

I tried it at the store...fell in love.

5D2 and 5D3 already listed for sale. There should be a warning on this site about that camera.

Haha, yes, there should be. If it only had 4MP more it would be absolutely perfect!

Main reason I purchased it, used 1D4 (at time of release) were going for $4999, well, I can get a new 1Dx for $6700. Yes it's more, but it's new, has a warranty, etc. and no crop.

Now, these days I'm looking to pair it with a cropped body so I'm killing myself over here waiting for the 7D2. I can see the 7D2 with a Sigma 120-300 on it for football and the 70-200 on the 1Dx. Same for baseball...

My main reason for the 1D series though is stupid, and annoying at the same time. Canon only puts voice annotation on the 1D series. I wish they would be more like Nikon in the sense it doesn't have to be a D3, D4, etc to have voice recording... Saves me so much pain when doing sports.. Especially baseball and Football.

I thought I was the only one ;D

Just like others said "you going to love it". I thought my 5D III is good, well, it's good, but 1dx is better. Even 12000ISO

I would go so far as to say the 1DX is a stop better at high ISO than the 5D3. Just wish it wasn't so expensive and that I hadn't missed that deal for $5000

I saw the $4999 deals last week or so, but couldn't pull trigger due to unauthorized dealer, plus those units are not US model. I decided to spend $1000 more and bought one through authorized dealer. Anyways, $5000 or $6000 is a lot of money and I want to make sure my X is real X

I bought my 5D3 grey market and never had a problem! Is there a difference between US and non-US 1DX models?

My 5D3 had a different charger than the US model...but no biggie. Unfortunately I can just squeeze $5000-5500, so hopefully there's more deals out there.

I do not know the dif between the two. I often heard people buying BRAND NEW cameras through unauthorized seller came with missing pieces. However, the savings are HUGE.

On the postitive side, there are happy buyers too. I'm sure $4999 will come again. Just get ready

I missed out on the group buy at CPW, but got mine through them a few weeks before that for close to the same amount. Mine's from an authorized Canon dealer in Canada with a Canadian warranty, but from what I can tell, Canon USA and Canon Canada are actually the same overall company. Also, I've heard that the Canadian camera bodies are never an issue for warranties. I could have gotten it much cheaper if I wanted one from imported from Malaysia or Vietnam (which is where these eBay models apparently come from), but I felt this was a good compromise for the cost savings.

I ended up buying one today from The Camera Store. They have huge rebates going on, and to be honest, with the US dollar stronger than ours again the savings wouldn't have been too great buying from the grey market.

Man, what a camera! It's like doing weights at the gym holding it for any length of time! But it's so awesome nonethess! Only had chance to fire off a few shots tonight since I'm packing for a trip, but so far the AF is definitely noticeably faster than my 5D3.

[tolusina]

Too big, bulky, heavy and expensive.
Don't need or want double shutter buttons, double card slots, high burst rate loud shutter etc., etc..
I refuse to touch one anywhere, especially inside a camera store for fear of finding out how much it will cost me once to correct things once I find out just how wrong I might be.


Translation = 1Dx envy

Solution - buy a battery grip for your current body, then swap it out for a 1D X some day while she's gone - she'll never notice

True story ;D

On a serious note - figure this stuff out first with your GF. May be a hard discussion, but in the end better to get aligned on financial issues than fight about them for the next 50 years of marriage (and worse lead to a divorce).
