 p.3 #2 · 1DX Mk II rumours...OMG.... | |
I own a 5DMIII, so 24MP is not actually a worthwhile upgrade for me, as 2MP would barely be noticeable.
I like the cropability a 22MP file gives me and, sometimes, well, I would like more.
Right now finances are not all that well so, in my particular case, justifying a considerable investment in a new camera would require a considerable upgrade in specs, MP being one of them and, well, I guess 24 would not be enough. Again, in my particular case.
28-30MP would make me consider it.
However, realistically I do not expect a lot more than 24, if at all. I expect 22mp-24mp.
I do miss higher FPS. I have been shooting a lot of karate events and those guys are insanely fast!
While I can get away with 6fps, more would be nice as, sometimes, I do miss the key moment.
Therefore, I miss having 10fps (1DMIII).
I don't need more than 10 and I do not expect canon to downgrade the 1DX sucessor in such an important spec (fps) on a sports-oriented camera, so 12FPS is more than enough for me.
A somewhat better AF would be good to have too. The 5DMIII is great but when contrast is low (low light of or strong back-light), it can struggle a little.
I would also enjoy better metering, particularly under artificial light.
Inside gyms, the fluorescent lights are tricky. I understand this affects all cameras, but if I'm not mistaken, the 1DX deals better with this fact.
Oh, and I do miss spot metering linked to AF point.
This irritates me to no end on the 5DMIII... specially because those karate dudes wear white kimonos and the background is always darker... when I use an AF point other than the center (the more distant from the center, the worse), I sometimes (or many times) get overexposed kimonos, sometimes even with blown highlights.
So I would love to own a series 1 camera again.
But the price would have to come down somewhat (back to 1DMIIn/1DMIII/1DMIV levels) and the specs would have to be a considerable upgrade to what the 1DX currently offers.
Realistically, both premises are not likely to be met.
So unless I'm wrong in my predictions, I guess my 5DMIII will have to continue doing it's thing, as I refuse to spend a considerable amount of money to go back to 18MP.
