Since Yummy doesn't do cameras, I thought I emulate him in this thread.
|
:rofl: You have to start saying that anyone who uses Canon thinks they're better than anyone else. :O
(luv you yummy...) |
naming is odd tho.. maybe thats the part that was 'revolutionary'... :ponder:
I wonder what Nikon is thinking. They might be laughing. |
Considering they did this three years ago, with an update about a year ago, sure they're :pofl:.
|
oh you've seen sample photos already? link?

Not suggesting he should be impressed with the 1D X but I don't think there's anything Canon can do at this point to impress Jup. I'll agree the specs are somewhat underwhelming which is why it will be interested to hear what the Pro's think once its in their hands. Until then, opinions are like assholes.

I don't know what people were expecting in terms of specs, I thought they were in line with the modern progression of cameras. And I think the AF system is gonna be incredible, having its own Digic IV processor and all. also, 12fps on a FF at 18mp is quite fast. |
You guys are taking me serious? I flat out said what my comments were. And as said, it's about time Canon did what the customers wanted IQ, not MP's.
|
sorry for taking you seriously, I guess.
|
Well you do know that I've never been that person in this forum.
|
:sorry:
:zipit: |
|
just noticed it has 2 joysticks - you can do AF point selection in vertical mode (NICE) - wondered why the older cams didn't have this.
I'm pretty happy with the specs, it's moved forward by a good amount in pretty much everything. |
Don't forget about the "James Bond" carring case.

The dual CF card slots is pretty cool, glad to see that CF is still alive. What I don't understand is, if memory is getting cheap to make (well, at least with SD cards), why are CF cards still kinda pricy?
|
I would think its because they are not the norm.

Because the continue to get faster and faster. Want good cards?, don't over pay for Sandisk, look at Transcends.

I have a question. Is there some mechanical reason why they can't make the focus points area bigger? i.e. to cover more of the frame?

Oh boy, here's come the FP bitching on FF!
IIRC, it has to do with the size of the sensor, but that was something I read about a few years ago. Speaking of bitching, seen a little on FM, that it's only 18mp. Didn't stay around to read it. |
Fp?

I guess its not that good.
|
Who knows.
|
I think in the past they have had large size files available for download eh? maybe they didn't want their servers crashing.
|
there sure are a LOT of raving and swooning first impressions about the 1D-X all over the net.....
|
It's the first "real" thing for Canon uses to get happy about in awhile.

http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/con...ons-Review.htm shutter life rated to over 400,000 :what: Now, that's a keeper! And well worth the $6800. |
All shutters are design to a certain life spam, they could last forever or fail within first few months or year you use it. But the did use some quality materials with this one.

Hmmm C300 camera...
Also an in development EOS Movies DSLR that can record at 4K and is full frame... |
Smoke and mirrors. I read the specs and it's shite.
Jus something to make the canon fans jump up and bark. |
Thanks for the detailed analysis. ;)
But care to tell us why? I'm not doubting since I know shite about video but it would be nice if you could at least give us some reasoning. The sensor sounds great so what's shite? Price?, not a true 4K? |
a 4k sensor that shoots 1080 by 1920....thats not anywhere near 4k, thats 2k...
The form factor sucks. They are copying RED...and its shitty form factor, horrid ergonomics. I'll have to read more...I jus the official press release this morning...so some of the specs I read might be wrong...but bit rates etc were listed as really low. And 20 fucking grand....phhht. fuck no. |
wait, they want 20k for that Canon? rofl... Red's are available for much cheaper and are true 4k (and even 5k)! I mean like half that! what is Canon doing?????
|
Its marketed as 4K but they process it differently or something. :dunno:
They also announced the development of a Cinema dedicated SLR with a Full Frame sensor that will shoot true 4K cropped to APS-H. That sounds interesting but it looks like a 1D X body so I'm guessing the price will be 10K+. And what's with those 2 zoom lenses costing 45 and 47K? :what: Holy shite. |

|
The badge probably cost 15K.
|
wait, since when is Canon a company known to inflate their prices just for the badge???
last time I checked, their camera models and lenses are rather affordable, comparatively speaking. |
You heard wrong, they make shite that can't compete and are surviving on name alone. Just ask Jupes.
|
Well they are doing it years before, so they can sit back and watch one try to catch up...

How can I argue with something I can't even understand?
