And David Breshears carried an IMAX camera to the top of Mount Everest.
His arms/hands are almost as stout as his intellect. Only a problem for mortals. I carry my 70-200 f/2.8L II on my 5D mark III all day, but my arms are far stronger than my intellect.Are you telling me that you can hold all that weight in your hands and grip it well and not have sore hands at the end of the day? Because a lot of times when I do it, my hand does ache.
Hmmmm.... was the helicopter in the shop?---
Try carrying and HIKING with 75 lbs+ worth of BetaSP/DigiBeta, NicCad batteries and Water-pacs in a desert environment for 20 miles in a day for weeks straight AND carrying an M4 with all its mags too! NOT LIGHT! A Canon 1Dx2 system would have been A DREAM to have at the time for weight saving grace!

It's a guess, but I suspect you don't own the EOS R
I have the 5DS and EOS R, and understand why the glass available now is useful, both EF and RF
Just curious. How do you know it works almost like new if you haven't used it for years?I still have my Canon 1Ds Mark2 from billion years ago. It works almost like new. I did not use it for years tho. This line is simply undestroyable
I absolutely do not want a tilty flippy screen on the 1DX3. There are far too many times I’m running across a venue or field to get a shot and the last thing I want to worry about is if I’m going to break the screen. I’ll put on my monitor if I need a video screen.
My quote simply means that an 8K (8192 x 6144 pixel) combined video/stills GLOBAL SHUTTER MEDIUM FORMAT SENSOR camera is coming out so very soon now!
Jimmy Chin filmed his Academy Award winning documentary Free Solo, while simultaneously shooting stills for Nat Geo and hanging 1000 ft down a rope from the top of El Capitan with a 1DX Mark II. That’s why people buy 1DX2’s for video. Not sure what else there is to say about it.
All due respect to Mr Breshears but I seem to recall he had a little help.And David Breshears carried an IMAX camera to the top of Mount Everest.
As though a 1DX Mark II was the required equipment for such a stunt. Could have taken a 60D. Either would have broken into smithereens from that height if dropped. Cameras aren't afraid of heights.Jimmy Chin filmed his Academy Award winning documentary Free Solo, while simultaneously shooting stills for Nat Geo and hanging 1000 ft down a rope from the top of El Capitan with a 1DX Mark II.

Everyone knows it has to be flipped.But you don't have to tilt or flip it. It can be positioned exactly like a fixed screen.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. With a non-1-series body, my hand hurt. Even with a gripped body (T1i, 5DII or 7D – my prior cameras), the ergonomics are different.Are you telling me that you can hold all that weight in your hands and grip it well and not have sore hands at the end of the day?

To be clear, though, the hand strap makes a world of difference. When the camera is at my side instead of at my eye, most of the weight is taken by the strap on the back of my hand, meaning it’s on my arm and not my fingers which are mostly just providing balance and enough grip to keep the body from sliding off.
I'm a monster. CPS hates me. I'm a pro sports photog and my 1DX and 1DXMKII'S and big whites are rocked by athletes on the sidelines, watered down for America Cup, sand swept on beaches and sea sprayed for kite and windsurfing. Yet, they keep going and keep placing food on the table. Higher resolution? I'm doing two page spreads in hi-gloss magazines and 10ft wide banners for in store displays. You want to improve my 1DXMKII, throw in something "magic" because I'm really happy. Mirrorless?? Have not seen one that can keep up yet!
In all the time you have been posting your crazy claims NOTHING has ever come to fruition. Your trolling ceased to be amusing at least a year ago. It's time for you to get some professional help.---
Technically, I AM MY OWN MEDICINE! I'm your cringe-worthy rumour gravy train steaming in from across the pond with some INSIDE DOPE on FAAAANTASTIC AV and mobile gear coming soon from some of the BIGGEST and BADDEST companies out there! Stuff with technical specs, prices and SHEER IMAGE QUALITY unmatched by anyone else! ..... AND ..... it's right here .... just around the corner .... !!!!! AND YOU TOO CAN BUY IT ALL !!!! -- CAN YOU FEEL THE THUNDER ????

The hinge and bearing need to be designed for years of DAILY use. And they need to be water-sealed. That's a hell of a beating for any rotating fitting. And the connecting ribbon cable needs to remain anchored and instact after years of vibration and falls. And then there's the additional weight, on a camera that's already 1.7kg
I can imagine the 1DX3 receiving a full touch-screen update. But I can't believe that Canon would add mechanical complexity to a functional tool like a 1D; it has to work every time, no margin for a cable getting worn or a hinge getting loose. Certainly not without extensive field testing, which isn't a luxury they appear to have before Summer 2020.
