Re: 5DSR Low ISO DR 1.5-2 stops better than 1DX ...
You don\'t willy-nilly limit higher ISO performance unless you\'ve found some way to clean-up the lower end. If fixing/eliminating banding and shadow noise was one of the main targets for; fixing that ugly in the 5D3 sensor, like the 6D did to a degree, then many of the complaints will have been addressed, and DR although might wider at least those darker areas could be lifted while preserving more detail.
These are niche bodies, are for those that don\'t shoot with high ISOs and if they have significantly cleaned up, eliminate banding and noise from 100 thru 6400, IMHO that\'s a good, very good advancement and along with the doubling of MPs could be stellar.
For most what I shoot; gardens/flowers/plants and city/land/seascapes, still fife subjects, high ISO or FPS isn\'t needed, in fact I usually shoot in good light, in my makeshift studio or in daylight. Unfortunately I\'m somewhat restricted time wise, there aren\'t many early or late shooting sessions. My injury requires assistance to just get dressed and in my chair. This limitation really does suck but it has helped me greatly with time management and understanding light and how best to shoot when it\'s not so perfect, no magic.
So while I understand comments regarding the need for cleaner high ISO performance like Peter mentioned the 1DX has in abundance; it\'s simply stellar, I\'m one who welcomes cleaner low ISO performance at the expense of super high ones.
It\'s my hope that Canon has other plans for the next 1DX, I doubt 50MP is part just yet, perhaps 24-36MP\'s with the same or even cleaner higher ISO and killer, 14-16 FPS. Maybe their consolidation of the 1D series was a mistake and we\'ll see two 1D bodies, each dedicated, designed especially action and non-action much like the 1D3\'s and prior.
We\'ll just have to see how these new 5D images pan out, I hope they\'re stellar!
And unfortunately with Canon sensors a one size fits all just doesn\'t seem possible, so the \'perfect\' camera subject specific to a degree. Who knows what the 5D Mark IV or 1D X Mark II will bring us...only Canon has those plans!
Cheers,
