Hi.

I need a help..
what to do?

I have 1d mk3, 70-200 2.8 is I and 300 2.8 is I

what you mean if I sell my 1d mk3, 70-200 2.8 is I and 300 2.8 is I, and
buy 1dx, 70-200 f4 (non IS) and 300 f4 is?

good or bad idea? iso on 1dx between 12800 and 25600, is for me awesome..
now at 1d mk3 i don't want to put up iso higher than 2000...

sorry for my bad english..

Sell mkIII and 70-200 but keep 300 2.8IS, this lens is a powerful lens even with years, i feel this lens doesn't get aged and only the newer lens can make it look old, i am happy with my 300 2.8 on my 1DX and i never look back, i even don't take out my 1D3 out of my bag at all, i even don't touch my 70-200 mkII much unless i shoot something closer that i can't do with 300.

Hi guys i got my 1DX with the 24-70 2.8 ll end 85 1.2 ll last week and i went to check in the park if i can use 85 1.2 ll at an aperture 1.2 to shoot the birds, i know this lens is not for sport but i wos only curious. The 1DX is simple amazing even slow lens like 85 1.2 ll work very well on 1DX for subject tracking even fast flying birds !!!

Thanks!

Now i decided to keep both of lens. (70-200 2.8 is and 300 2.8 is)
300 2.8 is is really amazing lens!

So.. after I will sell my old 1D mk3 I will buy a new 1Dx!

I really hope this will be in this month.

Wow to be able to capture that bird with a 85L wide open is pretty awesome.

I got a little bit bored this morning, so I thought I would play around a bit trying some flash photography using my speed-light.

This is a pic of a wood carving I bought in Bali a few years ago which I now have in my lounge-room.

Not that I have a 1DX. But I have the EXACT same carving that I bought in Jakarta.....lol

Not sure but I just got back from a full day shoot at El Centro (Blue Angels training) and burned through four 32 gig cards and just to
make sure, swapped batteries after the 3rd card which meant close to 4000 shots. It was at 50% when I stuck it on the charger. The other battery which only had the one card had one bar down. It's pretty crazy!

I dont seem to be getting anywhere that sort of battery life. Mine shows 50-60% after only 1000 odd shots, and no, I dont have image preview turned on at all.

I have a big day of shooting planned in a couple of weeks time. I am shooting an extreme sports event covering both wakeboarding and freestyle motorcross during the day and then straight from them onto shooting the nitro funny cars at night at the drag racing.

I wont have opportunity to recharge my battery between any of the events, and I dont really trust it to last covering all three events in the one day, so I just purchased a new spare battery. (not cheap either. $199 retail)

Oh come on...You can afford a 7K camera and your griping about a $200.00 battery... seriously

Im gonna get a 1Dx this summer and a battery is a must have accessory...step up.. no whining allowed for 1Dx owners

Hahaha...I was waiting for that comment!!!

That's pretty concerning. Too bad there's not a battery use app like on smart phones. Are you running big glass with IS? I imagine that focusing and stabilizing motors could burn through some juice.

+1 on ponying up for the battery though. It's like buying a $200,000 Ferrari, and complaining about how it costs $20K/year to maintain it.

You should be able to get batteries online cheaper. I've gotten a few LP-E4s for around/under $100.

And are we really complaining about only being able to get 2000-2500 shots on a single battery charge?

That's a good point... I missed the 50% thing

I still get 3k+ shots on my 1D3's antique battery, chimping a lot.
