If that is going to be their pro camera at the Olympics..they are going to have to get on it. Not many sunrises between now and then.
I am in the same shape with one of my new products that is not ready yet..probably not the same financial shape though

Thanks.

Curious I think, the choice of lenses to release at the same time as if engaged to the 1DX. I doubt that 24/28mm f2.8 would be all that orgasmic a proposition for a 1DX toting sports photographer, at whom that camera is mainly targeted.

Thanks for the update - good to hear that it's getting out of the doors and into the market, not sure how long it will take to get into the hands of enthusiasts (AKA Addicts) like myself. Please keep feeding any updates as they come out.

I just got the call that my 1Dx is in!! Finally! I guess they needed to get it out by the Olympics, but hope it's not a rush job...

Hey all,

I feel really awkward posting here, being a Nikon guy (cue hisses and abuse :P) but I just saw on the guardian eyewitness app on the ipad this picture:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/pict...zoomed-picture

On the website it doesn't show the exif data but on the app it does - showing it was taken with a canon 1-DX at ISO 200, F/14, Shutter speed 1/160 (for whoever cares - I always do)

Just thought everyone here would appreciate a real life picture taken from the camera. (Sorry if it has already been linked to - didn't read through the whole thread)

I personally am confused by the f/14 choice but you Canon guys are weird...

All the best,

Daniel Barnby

Sounds like he was doing panning shots with smeared backgrounds. Doesn't surprise me that a Nikon shooter wouldn't know about those.

Haha - typical canon shooter... doesn't even look at the photo :P - no smeared background which is why I was confused (also I personally haven't taken pictures of very fast cars)

Thanks for the explanation though :)

I did look at the shot and I didn't say it was a panning shot. The photographer was probably shooting pans when this spin-out occurred. So he grabbed the shot with no time to change settings. The car was probably moving in the same axis as the lens which minimized blur. That's my guess anyway.

So here is one thing I'd like to know about the 1Dx for anyone fortunate to get their hands on one soon.

The 1DIIn (yeah, I know, its OLD) took FOREVER for the voice annotation to start recording when using it.. 1dX, I would hope is pretty fast? I don't want to have to wait once I get one of these bad boys 20 seconds to record my info considering the point of it is to keep shooting and not having to wait.

Thx

ISO 20,000?
Is that a typo meant to be 2K?

If not, that is truly amazing!!!

EXIF definitely shows ISO 20,000.

My 1Dx arrived in the post today Looking forward to visiting New York with my family for the first time this weekend. Suddenly the trip is a lot more exciting

Congratulations on the new camera.

Noticed this little snippet at the bottom of Andy Rouse's blog (08 Jan '13)

<< Oh I almost forgot one thing, in this year I changed camera system too, from Nikon to Canon. The reasons, well they were compelling but they will stay with me for now as it would be unprofessional to do otherwise. Suffice it to say that shooting with the 1DX has allowed to work without barriers and I have not regretted the change for 1 nanosecond >>
