got my new toy

[rickj]

picked up my 1Dmlll today
sold my 50D and 1dmll to fund it as I just wasnt using both bodies. and decided to upgrade.
first impresions are very good, more easy to use control buttons, love the bigger screen , auto focus is faster and it feels lighter to.
anyone got any tips I need to know??

try out the different focus tracking sensitivities, it can make a difference. Also, read the manual to make sure you understand all the custom functions, there's a pile of stuff in there, way too much

Most of all, enjoy

Id be interested to here how you get on, and if you notice much difference in image quality, performance etc.

Ive got a mk2n and after using the 50d was quite blown away with the performance and ease of use of the 1d body. Ive been thinking of going to a mk3 as you have.

could you give us your thoughts after using it for a couple of days or so please?

will do as soon as I get a chance to go birding or maybe just over the field with the dogs I will let you know
