Shot with EOS1d today

Rick, did he really let you take the files with you? I took some shots with the 1D and posted one on my website. They went berserk and threatened with all kind of actions, so I gently removed it again [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

Yes he let me have the files and said it was okay to show them. He had just gotten the camera back that morning from getting the firmware updated. I don't know if that will be the final version before the camera is released or not. I've e-mailed a couple of them to some people.

I was going to post a couple of them on my website but before I do maybee someone else from Canon can let me know if it's okay or not. I don't want to cause any problems if they don't want the images shown yet.

I was traveling with the NPPA's Flying Short Course in Charlotte and Syracuse last weekend, and the Canon reps on hand DID have EOS1-D's with firmware updates.

Hopefully the final pricing for dealers here in the USA will become available early next week.

If you have ANY [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hi Jeff -- was this camera the likely production model or are they still putting in some (minor ????) mods - apart from the firmware update. Hopefully if the release date is to be maintained (in time for Xmas - or am I just being too cynical [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ) then the final model must surely be ready by now or they are not going to make it.
Can't wait to see the RAW images from a Real camera at 50 and 100 ISO.
Cheers -R

50 iso?

#13 10-18-2001, 08:03 AM

Sorry my error -- this should be 200 (default). The 100 ISO is a custom settable variable if you want to use it at 100 as default. At least this is what I gathered from the original reviews of the pre-production cameras. I'm not sure why they made 200 ISO the default but if the noise is acceptable then the extra stop will be worth it.
Cheers

I just spoke with Canon and they don't want any of the images posted on the web. The camera had new firmware but may not be a final production model. Sorry for the confusion.
