p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 5D4 + 100-400ii w/1.4xiii: how does it perform? | |
How well does the 5D4 do with the 100-400ii +1.4xiii combo? And in comparison to the 1Dx2?
I'm a bit offset after using a 1Dx2 loaner for 3 weeks as I'm unsure if I can live with the limited pixel dimensions, the bulk/weight and the steep price. Don't get me wrong it's been a fantastic experience, I took some awesome kids sports (athletics with jumps and other stuff where the 12 fps worked very well. I can operate the camera no problem and feel quite at home already.
However, I only need/want high fps occasionally and for my second camera (next to my 5DsR) I am now leaning towards the 5D4 instead. 7 fps is not 12 or 14, but really the fps is all I would get the 1Dx2 for and if I take the 5DsR+5D4 route, sharing controls layout and batteries makes for easier operation, it would save me over 2000 bucks and I could still retain the f/8 61AF points but at higher resolution. But is it reliable and steady?
So the question is: how do you like your 100-400ii w/ 1.4xiii extender? How does IS behave? IS mode I can be a little shaky on my 5DsR @560mm. On the 1Dx2 it's flawless.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Kind regards,
Ralph
