Seems like a sensible way forward, you should get the chance to experience both bodies side by side, perhaps you can return to this thread at a later date and share your experiences Good luck

With the 1DX, and depending on the lens used,  I found what you say to match my experience, but not with the 1DX2, which is the body we are taking about

I shoot with a 1DX2, my fiancée shoots with a 7D2, and the only time that the IQ of the 7D2 matches, the 1DX is with large subject in the frame shots in good light

For BIF, I would consider choosing the 1DX 2 body over the 7D2, for the AF performance, the frame rate, significantly better buffer,  higher ISO performance, Not to mention the better IQ when ...

Another two opportunities of supplying a lens with an arca compatible foot have been missed, when will they do this, most folk will either change out the lens foot or stick an arca plate on it

Canon sells A4 paper, A3 paper and printers to match, but it wont add the 1.41 A size crop ratio to DPP4 for reasons known only to its self,  it was available in DPP3, but that's improvement for you ...

Might want to check out the Tenba Solstice 12 L, but it could depend on the size of your second lens

Yes other lenses need updating prior to these two, and new ones such as a 500 f 5.6 IS L ( 400l f 5.6 upgrade) which would stop folk going down the sigma/Tamron route, as every lens these companies...

A couple of other things to try, because if memory serves me right error code 99 is a general code and could be related to camera lens contact, so try cleaning all contacts, and also check the ...

Another heads up for the Sirui L 10, and if you want to use it on your tripod as well, then have a look at the L20, a magic bit of kit in my view, my wimberely rarely gets an outing these days

You already have the Sigmonster, and the Sigzilla, so this could be either the Sigzooka, or Sigbucket

You might want to check out these https://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/super-alpine-glove Best I have found and can still use BBF for BIF shots, change teleconverters and make coffee, but get a ...

If you are shooting birds, generally speaking you can never have enough focal length So if you can afford the 200-400, could I ask you to consider the EF 500mm mark 2 as that will get you to 700mm ...

Well I normally shoot BIF at 1200mm without any issues using these on skimmer pod, tripod, and monopod, admittedly at high shutter speeds, but it will lock down quite successfully for slower ...

Could I suggest that before buying a gimbal, you look at and consider one of these https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1182201-REG/sirui_bsrl20s_l_20s_2_way_pan_tilt_head.html I use one with my ...

If the condition, source and history is good If the price is right Its still a risk, but your images won’t be, they are usually magical from this lens, haven’t used the mark 2 but if money isn’t a ...

Hi Malcolm Check out HDEW for the M5 body, I picked one up for a good price earlier this year Quite like it now that I have managed to switch off most of the button controls, it’s good for ...

Taken many bittern shots, but this is my favourite

I attach a generic fishbone arca clamp to the pistol grip, but basically any arca clamp will do As regards security, I use a peak design leash and have one lug on the camera tripod base plate and ...
