Each to their own I guess :) I just know what worked for me. Less money going out with the hope of some coming in. When I have more coming in than going out, I'll re-address it. Buying expensive gear in the hope that you're going to get the money coming in, is bad business. Especially since...

Yes the Mk1 IS. That's what I have now, and looking back on the pics I took with the MkII and comparing them I don't really see why I needed the MkII. Everyone else might be different. I just felt that money could be used elsewhere.

I've owned both. I had the MkII and now own the MkI, and don't see what the problem is. The Mk1 performs perfectly well in comparison. If you can get a mkII used then fire away but I wouldn't buy a new one over the Mk1. Too big a gap price wise with no real gain IMO.

I can't really fault the MkIV, not that I would be qualified to anyway. I shot a youth football tournament all weekend with it. 73% battery left after 5-6 hours action shooting. It's just a beast of a camera. Anything above ISO2500 tends to be washed out and greeny looking which annoyed me a wee...

If I could get a 1D-X with a fast lens loading system. One that with the turn of the wrist loaded a different lens then it would be a win lol. Everyone else seems to get on fine with that combo I have so I'm probably being a dumbo. I've been seeing a lot more people on the sidelines using...

In print noise isn't an issue, It's just colour and sharpness that also become a worry at that level, again if it tells the story, the paper will print it. Having used both the 1DIV and 5D3, I feel that while the 1DIV is faster, the 5D3 IQ is much better. Just a lot richer and more detailed...

Most of the time yes :) - However, is it really that far away from the sensor of the 5D3?

Yeah it popped up on Ffordes website. I snapped it right away. It's been great so far. No complaints.

I use the lock n load lethod. Changed the rate button on my 5D3 to protect. Only view the locked files on PM. It's so much quicker.

I view a lot of sports images. Most of the time from folk who do the same events as me. It's a good measure of how far behind you are and it's a good reality check sometimes. I do find, however, that on displaying some of the exif data from some images, that the near identical ISO values are...

Now sporting a 1DIV and 300 2.8 IS. Got the 1D with 97k clicks for £1230 and the lens for £1440 from Calumet. Good prices. Lens is not bad for being a rental. Had more hits than the beatles but it's still a great lens. Bought the beefy Calumet monopod to support it. All change so we'll see...

Yeah that's pretty clear it's faster with the 1066x card. Might get one of those lol. The 600x card was close too.

Love those images Jason.

Well I ordered the case, cant hurt. I also left a deposit on the lens. Got it for £1440. Yes the Mk1 IS version. I was astonished too. In a side note, and a wee notion to getting the 1DIV I bought a 800x Lexar card thinking it would be faster than my 400x card. 400x card popped off 32 RAW...

MkIV came this morning. Chuffed to bits with it. Going to see about the 300 2.8 after work. All change and one that my wee bag won't like. Saw some Peli style cases on Ebay for £45 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121538416274?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT - I know the...
