1st set of 2 images: 1DX with 100-400II + 1.4TCIII at 560mm f/8 and 7D2 with 100-400II at 400mm f/5.6. Then cropped to same FOV.

2nd set of 2 images: 1DX with 600mm + 2.0TCIII at f/8 and 7D2 with 600mm + 2xTCIII at f/8. Then cropped to same FOV.

All shot from the same location on tripod.

See how you do, and if you have reasoning behind your guess then please share as I learned a bunch from the last game.

If you don't like games then just enjoy the eagles and critique is welcome

Harder to tell in these comparisons but, my guess is

1st pair, 1Dx and 7D2 harder to tell but I have to think the TC isn't as sharp as the lens alone
2nd pair, 7D2 and 1Dx for more pixels on the duck being sharper

In good light the 7D2 does well. I'm sure the differences would be more apparent in lower light.

Both images 1 and 4 have less focused/sharp eyes...now what does that tell me...I have no clue...but I would use the setup from 2 and 3 if I had a choice.

These all look very nice Geoff. What they were shot with is not as important as the results to me ~ Ron

My guess is #1 and #3 are the 1dx combos. Lovely images either way.

2 & 3 for me, from your first test I kinda leaning towards 7D2 camera that are used to captures these images.

Wait, did someone mentioned about lacking of DR

This game was arguably harder than the first as there is no real background to compare. The answers are:

1: 7D2
2: 1DX
3: 1DX
4: 7D2

I should say that I had at least 20 shots or so from each camera/combo and in my opinion the 1DX was better for all of them. I'll update the OP with EXIF so you can see how the ISO was changed. Also noticed the 7D2 and 1DX do not give equivalent exposures at the same settings. The 1DX needs about 1/3-2/3 of extra ISO to match the 7D2.

Thanks for playing and maybe I have one more game planned for later.
