p.2 #8 · p.2 #8 · 5d iv possible replacement for 1dx and 7dII? | |
I shoot exclusively birds, and I have been thinking along similar lines. I had 1DIV for 4 years, then last spring added 7D2. With basically similar image quality, I found myself reaching for the 7D2 almost exclusively because of weight and added reach. I sold the 1DIV a year ago. I have since made some really, really nice images with the 7D2, but I find I need to shoot really heavy to make sure I get that one tack sharp frame. I've micro adjusted all my lenses (500/4 I, 400DO II, 100-400 II) with and without my 1.4x extender, and I still feel that I struggle to get a really good hit rate with the 7D2, particularly with the 1.4. With now 30MP, the 5DIV is starting to look really attractive to me in an always focal length limited situation. The added 50% of pixels in the 5DIV compared to the 7D2 seems like it could negate the reach advantage of the crop sensor for my purposes. The FF images just have this dreamy look that I struggled to replicate with the 7D2. I might take a frame rate hit, but that is totally cool with me that if means more sharp, dreamy images. I would love to have either DX, but without also putting down the 11k or so for the 600 II, it just doesn't make sense; I'd take such a big effective reach hit given my current lens line-up that I feel it wouldn't be worth it. High density 5dsr seems a bit redundant to the 7D2. Curious to see what others think of this logic (or lack of it)......
