1DX2:

Dust or oil does not bother me. I do however look for it occasionally.
Maybe a third of the crud inside my 100-400 II.
I'd have to take multiple photos and stack them to show it all.

So .... any of you guys who have been using the MkIII notice any "oil spray" on your images as described in this video?

Alan

No,. haven't seen any yet. I have not done any "tests" or shot any f/16 skies to look for it, so it could be there, but I can't see it in any of my "real" photos.

All at 840mm

for scale reference, is that a "least tern" in the first image?, I simply can not tell!
Superb shot!!!!

840MM

400 or the 600 with the 1.4 ?? really nice

looks to me that one of the biggest reason to upgrade is how well this 1Dx3 does with TC's and extension tubes

Thanks. The extenders are so responsive with this camera. It was the 600mm + 1.4=840mm

the 400mm + 1.4 = 560mm

I had oil on mine after only 3-4 days of using it. I thought was dust, but is not. Or was not.
For that expensive of a camera and being a known issue for so long, is very disappointing.
But I'm waiting on a new camera again anyways, so we will see. After mine was defective.

Although at this point, if it's gonna take months to get another one, I may be even tempted to cancel and wait for R5 at this point.
But at same time, I don't think R5 is going to match 1DX in many ways.

I really liked using the 1DXIII in the brief time I had it though. So I will probably end up staying with it, whenever I get one back.

Here is a small clip of 39 still frames strait out of the camera. I used the Canon 1dx Mark III with the Canon 600mm Mk III + 2x III for 1200mm. I used the OVF to focus. The camera tracks so good using the 2x extender. I was handholding this in the wind so there is some movement.

Did it hold the focus ok when the bird landed on the water or did it shift to the water splash droplets? My mkii has a tendency to jump off the subject unto splashes of water/gravel even when the tracking sensitivity is set to -1.

robamy,

Thank you for this.
Thank you for including the method that you used.
Many of your images are so crazy-good, I wonder if you used your tripod and gimbal to take them.

I also love the images in post #653, especially the tern with the fish.
