1DX - First official high resolution samples!

http://web.canon.jp/im​aging/eosd/samples/eos​1dx/

Its about time!

Looks quite good! But whats up with the background noise on the second portrait?

I am looking forward to higher ISO-samples.

Says "coming soon" at the bottom of the page. I hope they reffer to the high-iso samples.

I hope so as well. ISO 1600 looks amazing! ISO 800 is better than my 7D's ISO 100
If ISO 6400 keeps that standard, I'll have to start selling my lunch. I'm soooo getting this camera!

I am so torn between this camera and the yet unknown 5D3.

I loathe the size and weight of the 1DX, but if the 5D3 turns out to be a "failure" compared to the newly announced D800, I might have to buy this one just to calm my inner gear freak.

If this camera can do ISO 6400 better than the 1D4 at a higher resolution (like below), as well as focus in really low light in AI Servo, I will be quite excited to see what can be done with it from some of the folks here on POTN. I am pleased enough with the 1D4 now. I will miss the APS-H sensor format though, so cropping the 1DX down will yield smaller images.

nice!

Not bad- were are the high ISO samples? Looking for 12500+ ISO

So far, I have not seen anything particularly impressive to substantiate the marketing hype? Am I missing something here?

ISO 1600 definetely looks good.

Color me unimpressed. Detail smearing in the ISO1600 shot and visible chroma noise in the ISO1600 and some of the ISO800 shots.

Judging by the file sizes, though, these look like out of camera JPEGs, in which case they aren't that bad, but a few images shot as RAW and processed would be a bit more appealing IMO.

Notice most shoots took with 135L.
And none of them @ f/2

ISO400-1600...not interested. Show me ISO 12k+ and I'll bother looking

Exactly, these shots are unimpressive to me and while I've got alot less experience than most, I've seen far better from the 5DII.

Just like I said in the 1DX thread, Canon might be trying to display a little honesty by putting out unprocessed files but I don't think that's the right thing to do. You want me to drop 8 large on a camera and this is what you show me?

You need to put your best work out there and a layperson with disposable income could compare these images with the possibly doctored images from the D800 and come to the conclusion that Nikon's 3K body is better than Canon's 8K body.

If I knew nothing about photography but I wanted to spend some chips on a top of the line DSLR, looking at these sample images compared to the D800 images would save me about $4K. Canon needs to step up their game.....

Ken, I cancelled my 1D X preorder. The D800 is what I've been looking for and while I do admire the 1D X features, the rez of the D800 and 51 AF points are what I need.
