Is it too early for the first "The Canon 1DX sucks" posting?

When the 1D X does come out, you're right. Although maybe not enough people will have it due to the price. I highly doubt serious photographers who purchase this camera will start a childish thread? Oh boy I hope not.

Its out, but deliveries are not going to happen to all buyers overnight. Only the non owners will make the childish posts, thats normal. Posting outlandish things is also called trolling, and is done by those needing attention.

So it doesn't have any option to show the dof below 2,8?

That was one of the reasons I wanted the X and not the 5d3. I guess the 5d3 is giving more and more value for money then, lol.

According to one poster here, who has posted it about a half dozen times. I could find nothing from ANY other source to confirm that. So, until such times as there is some sort of official or reliable confirmation. Look at the title of the site, and consider it an unsubstantiated rumor.

You can change the focus screens on the 1DX with a S type screen for Visable DOF for fast primes. As neuro pointed out, canon hasn't added a custom function to correct the metering in camera. If you can compensate for the missed metering, you can use the S type screen fine.

It's a shame. Canon ditched this feature in the 5D3 and 1Dx. Perhaps they may release a firmware update to correct this, or hold this feature until the 5D4.

Normally there are 2 groups of people complaining:

1. people who can't afford the camera but want it
2. people who couldn't afford it yet somehow bought the camera and now are looking for any excuse to return it

I can't pull the shadows five stops. Waaawaaawaaawaaa!

I should have bought the Nikon 3200 because it has 33% more mps - Canon are ripping me off

The new Nokia phone gets a better score from DxO

Technically true - the specifications of the EC-CV are not published as yet. But FYI, the 'V' in EC-CV is a Roman numeral designation following on from previous 1-series bodies (i.e., EC-CIII, EC-CIV were the predecessors, and a new one is needed because the AF area has changed). The Ec-S screen is 'brighter' than the EC-CIV (which is, in turn, a little brighter than the -A screens for other cameras). The EC-CIV does not show the true DoF for lenses faster than f/2.8, and therefore it seems very unlikely that the EC-CV will be any different.

But, I've emailed Chuck Westfall for clarification.

DR is less than the D800/D800E.
Half the MP's as the D800
It's too heavy
The AF system is too cumbersome and complicated
DxO rated it lower than the D800 (future complaint)

Don't turn the LCD light on when you are taking pictures of your lens cap then ;D

Just caught this! +8 million!

I just read somewhere that there is an adapter to use your EF lenses on an iPhone. (strange what people think is useful)
So --- till the price for the 1DX is to high, lets all cancel our orders and use the Iphone instead!

What kind of magnification (crop factor) will we have then? 100X 1000X ? ;D
In that case someone will probably be able to take interesting photos... :

Why are people comparing the 1DX to the D800? I'm a Canon fanboy and my stance is that the 5D Mark III is better because it has 4 megapixels more than the 1DX. On that note, I guess even the 5D Mark II is better too! But I suppose the D800 and D3200 are still better than any Canon body right? LOL

What a worthless thread...... ;D
