ISO 25,600 with the Canon 1DX.
Above, the Canon 1DX at ISO 25,600.
You may never need to push into this area but if you do.....
Below ISO 6,400, both unthinkable ISO's only a few years ago.

Canon 1DX Insane quality at ISO 25,600
Today I got chance to do some testing with the Canon 1DX, what a camera.
Without being geeky I am totally liking it.
We took some high ISO shots starting at ISO 6,400 skipping 12,800 instead jumping to 25,600, for a image in very low light, this camera will deliver.
For me producing video in low light conditions this camera offers greater depth of field potentials a big deal for me when shooting the longer focal lengths.
When I get chance will post up a couple of the sample images...what will the camera developers come up with next ...

NEW Firmware for Canon 5D mk3.. planned 2013.
Canon has unveiled plans for a new EOS 5D Mark III firmware designed to enhance shooting and improve video workflow.
The new firmware enables HDMI output functionality, ideal for professional videographers, as well as improved AF performance for photographers shooting with telephoto lenses.
Following feedback from cinema and TV production professionals, the new firmware includes ‘clean’ HDMI output, enhancing overall video editing and monitoring procedures.
Videographers will be able to output high-definition uncompressed video data (YCbCr 4:2:2, 8 bit) without any embedded icons or symbols, from the EOS 5D Mark III to an external recorder using the camera’s HDMI terminal.
The new functionality will enable easier editing of data with minimal image degradation for greater on-site workflow efficiency during production, as well as the option to record to the internal memory card at the same time.
The enhanced features also include outputting of time code over HDMI to an external recorder, as well as the ability to synchronise start and stop of video capture with the start and stop of recording to an external device*. The new firmware also enables real-time output to external monitors, ideally suited for on-set monitoring by the wider production team.
The new firmware also adds improved AF performance when capturing still images, opening up more advanced shooting possibilities for photographers. When using a lens and extender, resulting in a maximum f/8 aperture, the new firmware enables the camera to utilise the EOS 5D Mark III’s central dual cross-type focal points, currently only available up to an f/5.6 aperture.
The new capabilities allow sports and nature photographers to use AF when getting closer to distant subjects, achieving precision detail when using telephoto lenses.
The firmware will be free to download from April 2013.
