1:3 or 1:1?

Huge congrats CT. :icon_cool :icon_cool :icon_cool

I really enjoy using the 1D MkII and this seems to be a nice step forward again.
 
Thanks Daz, I must admit I'm pretty made up. :)
 
<---Insanely Jealous.

Although it's definately too much camera for me...I'm still jealous :)
 
don't get too excited there old man, wouldn't want you to go doing your back in lifting that lump :whistling

Looks more than a little bit desireable :banana:
 
Remember to condition the battery CT.
It doesn't say in the manual ( at least it didn't for the old 1DMKII ) but refresh the battery for the first three charges.
Then refresh occasionally.

Congrats.
It's a beast, you'll love it. :thumb:
I find the 1.3 crop factor the perfect balance since I enjoy all forms of photography.

Now that you have your new toy, will you be joining us on the beaches?

I don't agree Bod.. :nono: You would be really at home with it after only a couple of hours use, Other than the extra weight and larger body the speed of the autofocus and drive mode is insane... :shock:

Congrats on your new camera CT. Enjoy it to the full, I love my 1DMk2. :thumb:
 
Now do some testing to ascertain if it's truly weather sealed... :tonofbric
 
Thats some nice engineering ;)

Congratulations :thumb:

I'd love to Matt, but I've got to be very doubtful we can make it at the moment. :headshake

I've no doubts on that score having seen Matt leaving his 1DS MK11 out in pouring rain all day at Chester Zoo. Despite being p***ed on by the elephants and a couple of baboons it was still firing on all cylinders. :icon_eek:

I do need a waterproofed lens though to be really safe. ;)

Yeah and the camera was still working well too :coat:

Congratulations CT. I am glad it has arrived and your initial impressions are favourable. BTW when you give Jan the 20D please get her to show you how to set the white balance correctly ;)
 
White balance! You mean that after all this time CT's been shooting Jpegs?!?!

I knew it! lol
 
Well I'm now totally in love with this camera. I think I've pretty well got to grips with it by playing with it and just referring to the manual when I was stumped. Now I just want to get out an use it and it's chucking it down. I know it's weather proof, but I'm not. :p

I did just manage this serious shot though..:D

Spot metering - I can't tell you how much I've missed that.

The Op/tech neckstrap which IanC very kindly got for a few of us considerably lightens the weight even of this beast hanging round your neck. :thumb:
 
Thats looks like a self potrait of you waiting against the window the night before it arrived ;)

I am really pleased for you buddy, I know it will be looked after and above all used and enjoyed. Now all we have to wait for is some seriously good photos to warrant your outlay.

Steady on! :icon_eek: :LOL:

CT, because the camera is so heavy I found the E1 hand strap really useful.
It was supplied as standard with the 1D but not the 1DMKII, maybe the 1DMKII-N has it.
If not I would recommend it.

Only me being a class 1 :nut: Steve !

Case of engaging digits before brain ... and then not knowing how to get out of completely so rather than a blank screen with my name on I opted for the "Sorry " ! Sorry ! :stupid:
