What is a realistic expectation for the 1DXIII MP and fps? Could they deliver 26MP @ 16fps?
I don't think 16 fps will be useful, the mirror blackout time in DSLR's is a given, typically 45-50 msec on the pro models. At 16 fps the total blackout time is 16 x 50 msec = 800 msec in each second of burst. which means when tracking a subject you and the camera are effectively blind almost 80% of the time! It will just lead to more missed shots or redundant frames. When I had a 1DXII I actually dialed it back to 12 fps...seemed to be enough to capture the "peak of action" moment
the only way to go to those high frame rates and still be useful is with the mirror up in LV or in mirror-less cameras... then it becomes a challenge to maintain true 120fps live feed during burst.
Just when I thought I could believe you, Pixel Perfect, and the other guys who claimed 16fps wasn't possible see below. And I'm happy to hear B&H confirm my first post that started this whole thread might be coming a reality. I guess 16fps is possible, but now we wait to see what the MP count is...this camera is looking to be a screamer.
Read what said above, I never said is is impossible where did you see that? I said it is not useful because of the mirror blackout.
