 p.3 #16 · Pre-production 1Dmk4 tests with Ai-servo | |
Wow, I had no idea that this was the reaction this thread was going to create. Being called the next "Rob Galbraith"... just wow. Daryl, I'm still impressed how you manage to know everything that I was doing about the test, without ever being there or seeing it in person. I should ask you for predictions in the stock market. Oh, and just so you know, the subject can move up, down, side to side, and the Ai-servo should still be able to track the subject. Direction and orientation shouldn't be an issue here.
Anyway, I am sorry to all of those who this thread or the title has injured or cause any suffering. I was simply trying to present some data of the new camera, and compare results from anyone else who had experience with the test models, not to cause a riot among the forums. I've been on this forum for some time, and the last thing I need is to be labeled a troll on here. It's sad that people will jump on the messenger and not even look at the message, but that seems to be the case here. Just because I posted these images, does NOT mean I wasn't impressed with the camera. Remember, I am trying to buy one... so naturally, I would like to know everything about it before I drop the $5k. I did high ISO tests, and general focusing and fps tests, all which were spot on, and actually exceeded all the current 1D series. I may be a Canon fanboy such as some of the posters here, but at least I can realize that any company can have a bad apple, or make a mistake in their production from time to time. I tested ONE pre-production body from the 3 they had at the show, and did not get the results I wanted. Is that my fault? Could be? Is that the cameras fault? Could be as well. I was simply presenting the information and trying to verify with others results if it was my mistake... not blaming the entire stock of cameras. Oh, and just to clarify... the Canon representative told me to put in my own CF card to test the camera. Another person asked if Canon were giving out demo CF cards, and the representatives response was the following: "You didn't bring a CF card? You always bring a good CF cards to these things."
Anyway, last thing I want is a hoard of attack on me for simply asking a question of a pre-production camera (which I should say was shown only a month before the actual release, so it should be solid). I'm a practical guy, and rather have things go peacefully. I am sorry to all those who were offended by this thread, or lost sleep over it. I hope that at least to some, the information was helpful and served a purpose. If any of you are considering actually buying this camera, then I suggest you test it out when you get it. Take what you will from this thread. I changed the title, but I don't think that will change anyone's stand on the subject. Just to avoid any other unnecessary arguments, I am going to send the moderator a message and ask him to go over it, and either lock or delete this thread if he sees fit. I guess an abundance of information can be a bad thing as well. Thank you all for your input.
