Ken Rockwell nos da su visión de las novísimas Canon EOS 1D-X Mark III y Nikon D780

El bueno de Ken

Es simplemente eso. No es realmente un análisis, pero me ha parecido bien ponerlo porque aparte de ser una descripción de características bastante completa y unas imágenes como siempre XXXXXL para que podáis ver los átomos de los que están compuestas las carcasas de ambas criaturas, nos pone sus apartados clásicos de: lo nuevo, lo bueno, lo malo, y lo que echa en falta.

Hombre, no es mucho, pero menos da una piedra, y mucho menos un político, y menos a este precio, ¿ no ? Pues eso.

Sobre la nueva Canon:

New since 1DX Mark II:

  • Backlit buttons!
  • Slots for one or two crazy-fast CFexpress cards. (Regular CF, SD, CFast and XQD cards won’t work).
  • ISO now goes to ISO 102,400 regular and ISO 819,200 at H3. (1DX Mk II went one stop less high, to ISO 51,200 regular and ISO 409,600 H3).
  • Eye tracking AF, even through the optical finder.
  • New Smart Controller built into the AF-On button for fast control of the AF Point selection.
  • 191 AF points of which 155 are cross-type.
  • Dual Pixel CMOS Live-View AF with 3,869 selectable manual AF points (525 points auto-selected).
  • Face-priority E-TTL II flash control to detect faces and optimize flash exposure for them.
  • 16 FPS using the regular SLR optical viewfinder, the world’s fastest ever.
  • 20 FPS with Live View, but I don’t know anyone who shoots action this way.
  • 1,000-shot or more buffer. At worst you’re «limited» to 420 shots with C-raw+HEIF or 350 shots with raw+HEIF, but with any other combination of JPG, HEIF and/or raw you’re essentially unlimited, mostly due to the super-fast CFexpress cards’ ability to ingest data fast!
  • «High Detail Optical Low Pass Filter» claims the sharpness of using no anti-alias filter with freedom from aliasing on patterns and fabrics — claiming the best of both worlds. Claims this filter «breaks each light ray into 16 rays at the image sensor.»
  • Now can record in 10-bit HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) as .HIF files, as well as the usual JPG and Raw variants. HEIF has the same files size as JPG and offers 10-bit rather than the 8-bit precision of JPG.
  • Full-gate 5K 12-bit and downsampled 4K 59.94p with Canon Log, 10-bit 4:2:2 video internal recording.
  • Touch screen now also sets Quick Control screen, menus and «touch-based menu magnified view.» (1DX Mark II touch screen only selected AF areas).
  • Uses same LP-E19 battery and LC-E19 charger, but now rated 2,850 shots (1DX Mark II was only rated 1,210 shots).
  • 3.2 oz (90g) lighter than 1DX Mark II.
  • Digital Lens Optimizer.
  • Clock (time of day) visible in viewfinder if you press the ISO button while the camera is in standby.
  • Bluetooth.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi.

Good:

  • As we expect from the world’s top pro camera, awesome pictures, super-fast autofocus that never lets go, insanely high frame rates, essentiality limitless battery life housed in an bulletproof body.
  • New built-in Wi-Fi.
  • New built-in Bluetooth.
  • Takes same LP-E19 batteries as 1DX Mark II. (LP-E4N also works, with slower top speed, but LP-E4 does not).
  • Can pull 4K and 4K DCI stills from video in-camera (so can 1DX Mark II).
  • Rated to work perfectly up to 113ºF (45ºC), 9º (5º) hotter than just about every other camera (1DX Mark II also rated to 113ºF/45ºC),
  • Built-in GPS, just like 1DX Mark II.
  • Built-in voice note recorder, just like 1DX Mark II.
  • Wired Gigabit Ethernet port, just like 1DX Mark II.
  • Optional WFT-E9 wireless file transmitter.
  • 100% USA-based high-quality technical support at (800) OK-CANON.

Bad:

  • Nothing other than size, weight and expense.

Missing:

  • No automatic brightness control for rear LCD. 1DX Mark II didn’t have that, either.
  • No 4:3 «Ideal Format» crop.
  • Only a mono mic for video.
  • Shoots lots of video formats, but oddly it can’t shoot at 24 or 23.976 at regular 4K; just 59.94 or 29.97 FPS. Even my iPhone 11 Pro Max shoots 4K/24, and that’s how I usually shoot! For 24 or 23.976 you’ll have to shoot at 5.5K raw or 4K DCI, which are 17:9.
  • No swivel screen; this is a pro camera.

Sobre la nueva Nikon (a la espera de la D6):

New since D750:

  • No more built-in flash.
  • Manual exposures settable to 15 minutes in Manual mode, hallelujah!
  • Battery now rated 2,260 shots, up from 1,230 in the D750, but the lack of flash is one of the big reasons behind that.
  • Eye-detection AF.
  • In-camera USB-C charging.
  • Ability to Save/Load Camera Settings.
  • 10-bit N-Log or HDR (Hybrid Log-Gamma) video.
  • Focus Stacking.
  • Multiple Exposures, even with non-consecutive frames.
  • First Nikon DSLR ever with phase-detection live-view AF.
  • No more SCENE or NO FLASH modes on top dial.
  • INFO and i buttons reversed (doesn’t matter).
  • ISO button now up by the shutter button while the Metering Mode button moves to the back of the camera.
  • Live View lever moves up near the viewfinder.

Good

Bad

  • No more built-in flash.
  • Much more expensive than the D750 or Z6, but not necessarily better depending on your feature preferences.

Missing

  • No more built-in flash.
  • No more SCENE or NO FLASH modes on top dial.
  • No automatic brightness control for rear LCD.
  • No 4:3 «Ideal Format» crop (only square, 16:9 and DX crops).
  • No built-in Image Stabilization.
  • No GPS; use the optional GP-1 or GP-1A.

Todo lo demás está aquí:
