The first 1DXIIs are out

1dx mark ii sample images apparently. No exif data tho, I'd like to know the iso values hmm

If you click on the info icon at the bottom right you will see the exif (2nd icon from "buy").

Thanks, I thought maybe I should try it on a computer as my phone doesn't show that stuff, probably the case that it's computer browsing only for exif on that page maybe

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting to see the large versions of the images.

Agree! The eagle at 1200mm is something to look at.

The one thing that does impress me so far about most of the images I've seen from the new camera is the colours look very rich with a nice "depth" to them. They don't look artificial and over-saturated. Maybe it's just my monitor.

Its not just your monitor, they are indeed very nice and natural, especialy the skin! I was amazed how nice are the colors at high ISO values like ISO40000/51200, and how clean the image is! They really are much better than 1Dx MK I. I'd show u pictures, but I'm not allowed...yet ;D

Not even jpgs?

Not even jpegs unfortunately :-\ We have all of them taped with a CFast card inside to make pics, but none to take away I've got a few home, but rly, nothing which I can post up right now. U'll have to belive me for now.

Held a sample body in Dubai (at two events CPS participated in). The bodies did not have any cards in them and as expected, they did not allow me to put any in, either I have used/held the 1dx and in that regard, mark ii feels very similar. Guess the grip is a little deeper than before. Already pre-ordered mine, now waiting eagerly for the big day. Looking forward to shooting some wildlife with it. Interestingly, Nikon too participated in one of the events however they did not have a D5 to show off

too bad the local canon service centers don't have 1Dx M2 available to show off.

Good to know because I was planning to stop by to have a look..

What do you think about the noise in high iso (25k 51k 102k)?
Do you think it can tie the D5 or we'll be seeing a 1DXs in a near future?




EDIT: BTW, Lightroom CC (6.5) now supports 1DX2!

1DXs IF it will exist it will have most probably higher resolution just like 5Ds, 1Ds were . It will not be a kind of 1Dx III.

 

[Insider]

Yea, I am starting to try with it too.

Just ran through the set with the EXIF (ISO) displayed continuously to get a better feeling for any graininess at higher ISOs. I have only the 1D4 to compare, where I was reluctant to even use ISO 800 if I could help it when shooting eagles. These are excellent and I'm afraid this camera is a must have within the year for me! There were no videos from this photographer, right?

I think the High ISO is phenomenal! 1Dx MkI is way way worse, and I think we are getting very very close to Nikon in terms of quality in high ISO. I've edited some Large JPEGs in Lightroom (ISO25600,40000 and 51200) and I think its more than usable. I can see myself using ISO12800 as I used ISO1600 on my 1D4.

DR also improved, we've been seeing some ISO100 -3EV shots fully recovered with some outstanding detail as well.

Given the accolades over the years for the 1DX and given that I've sold the 1D4, this is indeed compelling information that seals it for me. My only issue is that with oil prices collapsing so has the Canadian dollar and a rebound might be possible and thus a drop in the high Canadian price. Couple that with stuff I need to sell in cleaning up my acreage home to minimize the dent in my finances and I'm trying to restrain myself for up to one year. I suspect that restraint will be out of the question for me!

I predict Neuro will not be restraining himself either. Any bets?

Well ... He´s happy with the DR he has ... He´s happy with the noise performance he has ... He´s happy with the AF performance he has ... He´s happy with the fps he has ... 10% resolution bump is not much ... :

Wait till DXO gets hold of one, it will be almost as good as a Nikon D90! ;D

Indeed. If I didn't have the 1D X, I'd certainly be sorely tempted by the 1D X II, but as it stands I have no plans to get one.
