p.1 #1 · After the latest fix MarkIII


Perhaps still too early to tell....

Here's a few from last night, I took over 300 shots, mostly all BIF, keeper rate was very much acceptable. I trashed about 30/300 due to OOF and if you can believe it... some of them were due to operator error on my part I know its hard to believe...

Mark III Firmware 1.2.5 with the fix from Jamesburg, NJ. Lens 500mm f4 with 1.4x

All shots below using 45point in AI servo. Normally, I would shoot single point, I wanted to try out the outer focus points. In the past we had poor results at times using 45 point.

Yeah I know, Tough conditions = hot spots! it was the only time we had to shoot.

Focusing looks fine Chad. I thought 1D series users are always using 45points when they shoot BIFs.

Nice one Duane, I was thinking it didn't take him long to get his sh^t back 'up' and 'running'

Chad, I'll let you be the judge on sharpness and focus error or not, I was always most impressed with your previous work, I don't know what your keeper rate was before That being said, #2 looks best to me

These look extremely good, Chad. A keeper rate of 90% sounds very, very good. May be it is time for me to move to the MkIII.

Hi Chad,

These look great. I agree with Karl - always was impressed with your work before. If your keeper rate is better, that is great news. I am getting ready to send in two bodies. Thanks for the update!!

Sweet looking Chickens in flights Chadda.
They all look pretty sharp (but would be sharper w/ a Nikon ) with excellent exposures and good details. What did you do to scare the craps out of that 1st chicken??
Great job as always buddy.

I didn't thought you're gonna send it in...you always had great results w it! But I guess there's always room for improvement Impressive shots...specially the head-on Is there a fix out there for photographers too? you can have Ant checking in at their service facility ship him in a box..no air-bubbles wrapping

The focus certainly is impressive!!! But that couldn't be the new firmware, Canon had already fixed all of the focus issues

Cool deal Chaderoo.

Chad,

These are amazingly good! And the details in #1 is insane. It looks like the camera had just received a good dose of steroid. You've got to love its performance.

Looks great! I take it then you were not getting those kind of results before this fix?
