1D X Mark II Owners Unite! Discuss & Post Photos

Thank you guys! Kelvin was on 4900 and on camera HSS flash bounced off the ceiling

I sneaked this into the playground when I picked up my daughter after school. Trying out the different AF pt combinations. I was a little bit disappointed because for whatever reason, the camera didn't exactly have the highest hit rate in this scenario - it wasn't bad but was hoping for higher. My daughter was jumping off the platform and I was trying to pick her up just as she leap. Lens was the 35L II. It is better than the 7D2, which I traded in when I got this camera, but honestly, if the 7D2 had no AA filter, it might be the best value Canon Camera - I think this is one of the reasons the D500 is the hottest camera on the market.

The more I play with the 1DxII the more I like it. I find myself shooting in Silent Highspeed mode most often - it is extremely well dampened and the sound is NOT too loud - and much better than I thought. I have been experiment with jpegs, something I NEVER used before purchasing this camera, but Fine Detail Jpeg and then setting White and Black point, for a bit more contrast, usually makes for a great fast solution.

@Dankata

Very nice picture, as well as the other that you have posted previously.

Question though, on that last photo you have posted, in an indoor location like that, why do you have to do an "HSS"? does the 200 flash sync would not get the same shot?

Thank you,

Wedding day... it's a rush it's coming in and out, light is changing all the t ime, I always have it on HSS so if I need faster shutter speed I don't have to mess with the flash..

Exactly. Leave them in HSS and forget about it. All you have to do is worry about ISO to keep the shutter speed up.

If anyone doesnt think the sensor has been improved...just start comparing the moon shots

Wowzers

would love to see some previous shots with other sensors

dark details look pretty darned good

I think I'll do apples to apples comparison with the 1dx, 5D Mark III, 7D, and maybe even the 1D Mark 4. It's a little bit overcast here for the next day or so but I'll have them up by tomorrow night. So far, phenomenally impressed with the 1dx Mark II. Next to the standard 1dx I believe it to be a large Improvement.

I'd like to see those.

Anyone has similar issue?

I edited a file couple days ago with PS, and the file in CFast is good.

And iMac El Capitan still can't display 1DX2's CR2 thumnail

But today, I re-open the file direct from the CFast card, with PS and DPP4, this shows up

Is it the CFast card or else?

SanDisk CFast reader runs hot after 1/2 hr.

I have re-format the card with 1DX2, and finger crossed

Hmmmmmm

Im using the CFast strictly as a back up to the CF acrd... so Im formatting everytime i put a new card in the CF slot...both cards...have not seen this....maybe try reformatting everytime you put a new card in
