I agree. As much as I enjoy my 1DxMKII, I would like to see one more iteration of this DSLR. A little more MP and upgrade to the new processors will really make the AF even better in low light.

man I have to disagree on the bigger MP sensor

5D4 is 30 and the files are notably slower to work with in LR....Much slower...and I have the newest I mac and its a loaded machine

The files size now on the 1Dx2 are perfect for post

I shoot a lot of High School and College sports and need to crop. Having a few extra MP would help. I am not saying 30+ because it would be difficult to keep the noise under control at very high ISOs. A bump to 24 would be great.

I too agree.

I also posted these images in the EF 35mm f/1.4 L II thread.
Images were taken in RAW and converted to jpegs by Canon's DPP, set to "Standard".
Saturation was set to "flat" or "0".
Lightroom5 was used to merely straighten buildings or remove perspective distortion.

I took 4,200 image at this event, just as a hobbyist.
What a great camera body!!!

Question regarding AV and fill flash...

On my 1DS I can use the flash as a true fill, meaning when I turn it on it doesn't affect the shutter speed or the aperture value, I dial in the flash compensation I am looking for and have the flash set on high speed sync and I am good to go. But, when I do this on the 1DX the shutter speed changes regardless of what I have the flash set for HSS or not... Is there another menu choice I am missing here?
thanks

Which flash are you using and what mode do you have the camera set to?
