Will the 1DX II disappoint me for landscapes? vs 5DIV vs A7rII

[Jack Douglas]

I got a very good deal through a reputable Canadian dealer, converted to USD, $5500. The price quoted is low enough that I'd practically stake my life on it being illegitimate at some level. If not it's a no brainer to buy it.

Update: So I bought the 1DX II, it already shipped and I should get it tomorrow. I'll keep it while the 5DSR II is released or if sony comes out with a worthy pro camera(The A9 suposedly)

I got the last one on inventory, the sales rep told me they have been sitting on the warehouse since march when it was released.
For those asking, the store is directly with Canon Mexico, they have 30% off with the code MESCANON in every canon product bought on their online store until Dec 31. They only ship within Mexico.

No doubt that is a great deal. I can't imagine being disappointed but I'm not serious landscape.

Congratulations. A stunning camera at a stunning price. Some months ago you expressed concern about the quality of 4k video on the cameras you were considering. You've got the best of the bunch but some threads on his site are still critical of it. Please post some examples of your work with both your old and new equipment. In your original post you said how currency fluctuations can lead to bargains. Here in the UK the opposite is true. Some lenses have increased by £2000 in a year. The best deal I can get on a 1dx2 is 10% off (c£4400). One is grey market, the other used. Luckily I am happy wih my current equipment so greedy Canon will not get any of my money for a very long time, if ever.

I recently did a Canon CPS workshop and David Noton was the "Professional Ambassador" photographer present, he is a landscape specialist. He has a 1DX MKII and a 5DSr and I asked him what was the split in usage roughly and he said 60% 5DSr and 40% 1DX MKII and the main reason was the additional resolution. In low light however he uses the 1DX MKII and for astro photography.

If you don't do high ISO stuff then Larssky's suggestion of the 5DS(R) is a definite option if you do a lot of cropping.

Its only <ISO200 that the 5DIV has 1/2 stop better DR than the 5DS/R. After that the 5DS/R has a slight edge.

This does give us an idea of what Canon Mexico's (or Canada or US or any other for that matter) markup is like... i guess they have to on specialty items like that.
