Canon Rumors says the 1DX II is shipping in April, so expect an announcement in Feb or March. http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-1d-x-mark-ii-coming-in-april-2016-cr3/ People like to scoff at rumor sites, but he doesn't mark things as [CR3] lightly. He's pretty much always right when he does.

InternetJunky posted:Oh wow, I thought they usually announced stuff much earlier to drum up hype. April really isn't far off. Sometimes they do. I know the 1DX had a much bigger gap between announcement and shipping, but I think that was because they were having issues with the final touches.

A smug sociopath posted:That's not really a fair thing to say when you consider also at least RED (including the Dragon sensor), Panasonic, AJA and Blackmagic have flunked out usable DR tests made by Cinema5D or Geoff Boyle in very similar fashion. Some being really jarring like Dragon sensor (claimed 16+ stops) rating at 10 stops under tungsten light (CML test) and AJA Cion rating 8 stops (claimed 12 stops) at Cinema5D. Pretty much every manufacturer outside of Arri exaggerates their DR claims. Also, from what I recall the Canon performed as well as Sony sensors in the DR tests. So if that translates to stills, the 1DX II should be a great camera indeed.

Since they have a little more time before announcement/release, I wonder if they'll try to do what Nikon did with the D5 and make different cameras with different card slots.

KinkyJohn posted:So the 1dx mk2 got announced. How does it compare to the nikon D5? Based on what we know, they seem pretty comparable. As you say, the image quality will be the important test. Interesting that it is about $500 cheaper than the D5. Canon is usually the one with the highest price point.

InternetJunky posted:I'm pretty eager to see some 1DX vs 1DX2 image tests. They've had 5 (6?) years to come up with this new model and so far it sounds pretty underwhelming, especially if you don't shoot video at all. The fact that it's only $6000 makes me think the image quality won't be significantly better than the 1DX. I hope I'm wrong though.

timrenzi574 posted:1DX2 has an on-chip ADC, confirmed in the official bits today. Great news. I'm dying to see what they can do. And I'm sure the tech will filter down to the 5D4, which is probably more in my price range and needs.

There's a dynamic range comparison between the 1DX and 1DXII on this page: http://www.fotosidan.se/cldoc/vi-har-provat-canon-1d-x.htm?page=-1 It's some crazy language, but I had Chrome translate it and it says the images were pushed 5 stops. It looks like there's significant improvement in the shadows. Almost looks Sony-esque. It was also done with .jpgs, so the raw files should be better I would think.

rolleyes posted:Sorry - too many TLAs! A Compact System Camera, often referred to in this thread as a "mirrorless" camera. Yes, In terms of light-gathering ability, the aperture is always equivalent regardless of sensor size. f/1.8 on your cell phone gathers as much light as f/1.8 on a full frame camera. There's no inherent trade off just because a camera is a CSC, all specs being equal.

9 fps would still leave some distance between the 1DX II, but I think a lot of sports shooters might decide that 9 fps is sufficient. It wasn't too long ago that the best sports cameras shot "only" 9-10 fps.

akadajet posted:Am I wrong in thinking that the Canon cameras feel a bit more solid than the Sony ones? I've only messed with the a7rii in the store. Not at all. Ergonomics and build is one of the reasons I switched back to Canon from an A7rii (not the only reason, but one of them).

They'll discontinue the 5D3 in a few months. The 5D2 stuck around for a little while, but it didn't last long after the 5D3 was announced.

Sounds strange. This may not help, but it couldn't hurt to make sure you're running the latest firmware.

SMERSH Mouth posted:I always thought that Canon and Nikon had pretty much the same crappy 18-55 kit zoom. As in, no appreciable difference in quality between the two. Does Nikon have better offerings in this department? The basic Canon 18-55 doesn't seem that great. The 18-135 seems ok for it's range. Are there better options for these types of lenses in Nikon land? Fuji's is a $700 lens though. How much are Canon and Nikon's? $100?
