I found the Mk2n reliable but the Mk4 has big problems with focus using zoom lenses. Zoom-in,focus is fine, but zoom-out and it front focuses.This happens on all my zoom lenses and two Mk4 bodies. I sent bodies and lenses at the same time to Canon Irvine for repair and it's still the same. I worry that the 1d-X could be the same way if they are holding the Megapixels at 18, then it won't be too obvious. Low light will also cause front focusing too. AF micro adjustments don’t solve this problem.Second issue is you can’t use Eye-Fi cards with the removal of the SD card slot. Canon's expensive wireless transmitter device (around $750) is horrible and techs are not helpful at 800-OK-Canon. I got an Eye-Fi SD card and was up and running in 5 minutes. It cost about $150 for the most expensive card. I set up the Eye-Fi i to wirelessly send small jpeg preview images to the iPad and iPhone. Eye-Fi does not make a CF version and SD-CF adapters don't work.Like0Oct 19, 2011*permalinkPoss A major manufacturer finally makes an appropriate "lower" MP sized full frame sensor camera with improvements where it counts the most (DR, ISO, AF)You know... the kind of camera the silent majority of working pros will buy and the vocal minority of people, who'll never actually get one, will endlessly cry about.Bravo Canon!It only took what... 5-6 years since Canon's last great FF pro body?Like8Oct 18, 2011*permalinkChez Wimpy >A major manufacturer finally makes an appropriate "lower" MP sized full frame sensor camera with improvements where it counts the most (DR, ISO, AF)I guess Nikon - for the last four years - didn't count?Like5Oct 18, 2011permalinkSuperka Nikon - Yes!Like1Oct 19, 2011*permalinkMaddrew I'd take lower resolution sensor with better low light performance over high resolution sensor witih mediocre low light performance any day (although Nikon gives us both options in the D3S and D3X). I wonder what would Nikon come up with to top this?Like0Oct 19, 2011permalinkPoss Nikon sort-of counts... 16-18 MP is the ideal size for most uses and the D3 had 12 which was slightly underwhelming. Now, don't get me wrong, I shoot a 12MP D700 and my complaints about it have nothing to do with his resolution but the D3 flagship could have been a 16MP maybe at a time where the 1DsMK2 was already there for a few years... hence the "slightly underwhelming" feelingLike0Oct 20, 2011permalinkOneShotOneClick Hello Everybody!I'm a HIG ISO ADDICTED because I love low light situations.I've read that Canon has developed "PIXEL FUSION" tecnology.It merge a 3x3 sensor's pixel to work like one to improve ISO quality. It will be equipped on small sensors and mirrorless camera.Does someone know if it will be available on 1D-X??I don't care if it could reduce the amount of MP if it make me bring home pictures and videos when I should not without that tecnology or without a 1600$ lens.I have to add that i love low light portrait using hard macro.So the question remain..Will 1D-X be equipped with PIXEL FUSION?!?Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkmichaelrz Isn't ISO 204,800 enough?Boy, are we hungry! :)Like0Oct 19, 2011permalinkOneShotOneClick @ michaelrz204,800 is too much!!I WANT IQ at high ISO.If YOu take Nikon D3s at high Iso Its unique but GRAINY when You use it in mid dark situations at 12500 or more.It would be fantastic using PIXEL FUSION on a native sensor 100-52000 ISO having great IQSo we could have a ultra clear 25000 ISO without noise at 6 or 8MPLike0Oct 19, 2011permalinkmichaelrz @OneShotOneClickOK I get your point.I Believe the 1Dx would surpass the D3s. I won't be surprised at all if this sensor could produce clean images at 12500 or even 25000.Anyway, basically I'm on your side, but It's just that we sometimes expect too much and forget to enjoy and get excited by the marvels we already have. We hold in our hands technologies that just a decade ago would have seemed astonishing or even unobtainable.Just a thought... :)Like1Oct 19, 2011permalinkAndre Oliveira No price info yet?I feel that many people will miss the 1.3 crop sensor. They could well have made it dual, full frame and an option for cropped operation with the touch of a button, then it would really be the successor of both EOS 1Ds and EOS 1D line.Like2Oct 18, 2011permalinkRichard Butler MSRP of $6800 - it's at the bottom of the news story.
Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkyabokkie this is not a new 1D4 + 1Ds3. it's effectively 1D5 to compete with future D4. maybe 5D3 will replace 5D2 + 1Ds3, with over 40MPs to power play 645D. there should be no problem we go 100 or hundreds of MPs. there is almost no (little) compromise of image quality when we go more pixels. the most affected is speed ... or image quality at the same speed. that's why Canon chose 18MP, for sports. image quality is not the same thing as pixel quality. though things are complicated, you can think image_quality = pixel_quality * number_of_pixels.Like0Oct 18, 2011*permalinkfrenchmonkeys I know it's always been in vogue to say 'you don't need higher resolution', and complain about the megapixel war, but resolution has always mattered in photography. When I shot film/trannies, I would occasionally use Scotchchrome 1000 for it's golfball grain, or push the hell out of Tri-X for the same reason. I would sometimes choose Velvia because it was smooth, detailed, with extremely fine grain. With digital I can't just choose a different sensor - I'm forever stuck with the one that comes in the camera. More pixels gives me more choices. I can reduce quality, add noise, but I can't do the reverse in any meaningful way.It's not all that long ago that people were saying that 5 MP was enough for anyone, then 8, then 10, and so on. I loved the images on my 1D, but I wouldn't trade my 1D4 for it - I enjoy the extra 12 MP.Of course noise has to be managed too, and high ISO is welcome, but I'd trade some of the high ISO capability for a spec. that includes an extra 20-30 MP.Like5Oct 18, 2011permalinkPoss Why not get a medium format camera then? No diffraction issues, gobs of resolution, ability to do multiple exposures... you know... all the goodies...Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkj2ker What do you shoot and at what resolution do you print that you need so many MP to slow down your workflow? I make very few hard copies, and the ones I make up to 20"x30" look acceptable with my 4.1 MP D2hs. I can't imagine needing more than ~ 12 MP, unless your output is huge. IMHO, lower pixel density = better high ISO = better photos.Like0Oct 19, 2011permalinkApplehead Medium format is not a good answer to wanting more megapixels (MP). It requires much higher f/stop, and therefore, light, to get the same depth of field, making it inappropriate for many uses. Switching formats also requires a significant investment in camera and lenses. Megapixels are useful if the IQ is there, and a few cameras have proven that one can have high MP in the 35mm format DSLRs and still have good IQ at the expense of FPS, diffraction at f/8 and above, and a little high-end ISO, primarily.Like0Jan 11, 2012permalinkjmmgarza Too bad Canon glass is not up to Nikon specs... sweet body though.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkfrenchmonkeys How so? In my opinion, Nikon and Canon's pro glass offerings are much the same as each other: a great balance of IQ, speed, build quality and price. For me, Canon just has the edge - the lenses that make sense for my kit are, on average, marginally better from the Canon range, and it's what I use most. For others, it may be a different story. Glass isn't the reason to choose between Canon or Nikon though.TBH, I don't think the leapfrogging of body features is a reason to choose either - first one, then the other has the edge. Nikon has better flash capabilities for certain. Personally, I consider using flash a last resort (I don't refer to studio flash here), so for me, that also isn't a reason to choose.I use Canon most because it feels more comfortable for me to use; fits my hand better. It 'disappears' more readily for me, so I can just concentrate on taking photos. I'd love some additional features and I've already whined about them, but the glass is good.Like3Oct 18, 2011permalinkyabokkie Nikon 24-70/2.8 is certainly better than the Canon one, especially at the tele-end. but Canon 70-200/2.8LIS2 provides better image quality than VR2 (I personally would rather prefer a lens that can go wider at close range, especially if I have zoom micro in my bag). so it really depends.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkjmmgarza You haven't been reading the countless DPReview articles on Canon and Nikon lenses. Yes, Canon is "almost" as good a Nikon. Veritas vincit.Like0Oct 20, 2011permalinkNigel Bolton Well you haven't been physically trying a Canon EF 300MM f/2.8 II on a 1DMk4 and 5DMk2 Vs Nikon 300mm F/2.8G VR on a D3X. Don't get me wrong the latter produces fantastic images. BUT you have to put at least a x1.4 converter or possibly even a x2 on the Canon combo to bring the image quality DOWN to the Nikon.

Do we all need that? The real pros are ruled by their needs anyway, but this type of 50,000 frames a second camera is likely to turn its owners into shoot now and ask later type of photographers carrying a pretty ugly device. Pixel numbers do matter in my view. They allow a more detailed recording of the image not a faster one. We are not all journalists and many of us have minutes if not hours or days to consider what we are shooting.

So you think that the results from a 1D4 (16MP) and 1D3 (10MP) are pretty much the same then? I've shot with both. The 1D3 can't hold a candle to the 1D4. Photoshop interpolation is NOT a replacement for higher resolution sensors. Suggest you try it. You can even do it off the same camera - take a small JPEG, and a full size one with the next frame. Increase the size of the small one in PS. Now compare the two. See? No? Make it simple then. Try with a 10 by 10 pixel image interpolated to 16 by 16, compared to a 16 by 16 original. The results are more obvious here, and the same thing happens with higher resolution.I agree resolution isn't the only factor, but it is a factor, and a fairly important one. So long as the pixel quality is high, I'll take more megapixels please.5D2 is a case in point here though. Higher resolution than the 1D4 by some margin, but lower IQ. I want my cake and eat it too.

There was some chromatic aberration present in the blue channel, but it was still very good. Since the 7D pixels are (iirc) 4.3 microns, it could be argued that the lens was operating at around 115 lp/mm. My experiments with a 135L yielded very similar results.There is however quite a lot of space at the top - a truly diffraction limited f/2.8 lens should be able to reach 585 lp/mm in green light.... assuming you could live with the absurdly thin DoF.Like1Oct 18, 2011*permalinkChez Wimpy >I think the very best Canon or Nikon lens will resolve 119 line per mm ,so about 10 mpI hope I am reading this wrong.

I can't wait to see the ISO results from this camera :) And I can't wait to see what Nikon has in store--let the competition begin! :)The only two things I kind of don't like about this camera is that the buttons seem too small (or is it just me?).

I've only used rapid fire at sports events which I don't do very often, and I confess I haven't seen a problem with it. I have seen issues with the AF not continuing to follow a subject accurately when rapid firing, and this certainly can cause some focus issues - could this be what you're experiencing? If I'm shooting macro I use the mirror lockup feature, or for sure, it would cause sufficient vibration to cause a little blur. I do think the mirror should be quieter though. Much quieter. Nature subjects can be disturbed by it from some distance, even using the 'quiet' mode.

In the market segment where the a77 / a65 are being sold, this is the case; Canon / Nikon sells by their names and Sony are required to attract appropriate attention (in this case using a big number followed by 'mega pixels.' To the contrary, a professional will not be directly deterred from his cause in the segment where $7800 cameras are sold. He / she is aware of the requirements equipment wise that are necessary to complete their task. Please do excuse my English and discrepancies in my knowledge :).Like1Oct 19, 2011permalinkJoeAmateur Sorry to disagree, but more pixels do create more noise. The pixel density on many sensors is starting to cause noise on the quantum level; noise is generated when the electrons striking the sensor are deflected by interference from adjacent pixel site's magnetic field. This effect increases as the sensitivity (ISO) is increased, which requires more power and more quantum inteference at each pixel site. Bigger pixels mean the chances of electrons arriving unmolested is greatly increased, so image accuracy is increased, and noise (quantum interference) is reduced.Manufacturers are going to have to eventually increase sensor size to get Nikon's 12mp quality at 32mp resolutions, until materials technology changes the physical properties of the sensor altogether.All that said, I get fantastic prints all the way up to 20x30 with my 7D noisemaker. We spend far too much time criticizing magnified screen images, when good prints from quality compositions are what makes $$$.Like0Oct 20, 2011permalinkSomeKindOfMichel blah blah blah... many complains about the sensor resolution. 18 mp is really enough for all the prints (even with 12 mp I can print up to A2). For really large prints, there is the 645D....This new body is a real jewel/beast for video shooting: - full frame sensor -> low depth of field - sensor pixel size bigger than 5D MKII -> an even lower noise level - improved moiré, artifact and aliasing -> overall better image quality - recording of time codes -> easy multi-cam synch or sound/video synch - exceed the 4 GB limit -> recording up to 29'59'' (in the EU) - gigabit ethernet -> will probably allow recording to remote storage...And all of that in a robust body (better than 5D MKII) -> nice for shooting movies in bad conditions.There is absolutely NO contender. This is really a beast for video shooting. The only major drawback (speaking for myself) is... the price... even though....Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkfrenchmonkeys You say that 18MP is enough for anyone, and then say if it's not, buy a differnet camera that already has a higher resolution. Isn't that a contradiction?And no, I wouldn't call it a jewel or a beast for video. Certainly it's better than the existing half-assed implementation of video on the 1D4 that's awkward to use.Video has been shown to be important to the customer base - even a number of TV shows have now been shot on Canon SLRs, and I really like the way these shows look. The profusion of video-dedicated accessories for these SLRs may be a more telling indicator. I occasionally tinker with video just because it's there, and for me it's a nice to have feature on an SLR - a factor to consider if you can't choose between one model and another after comparing all their stills features, but I understand that it means more to others. I don't think that movie makers would often choose an SLR over a dedicated video camera though.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkJoeAmateur Yeah, Anthony Bordain's No Reservations uses 7Ds, and I like the look.I see that video focussing issues were omitted from the conversation completely.

I know a lot of pro's who use the MK IV but none that use the 1 DS MK111 why? price and this new 1dx is 1DS MKIII price.Like0Oct 19, 2011permalinkclydo why do people keep saying there is now only one 1D series camera? All the announcement is saying is that they got the best of both the 1D IV and 1Ds III to make the 1D X. The FF from the 1Ds III and the speed from the 1D IV. I wager there will still be a successor to the 1Ds III which would probably be 36 MP+ while the 5D III might be lesser specified to differentiate the two. Could Canon come out with 3 FF sensors?Like1Oct 18, 2011permalinkclydo DUH, press release says REPLACEMENT for both..... my bad...Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkRedFox88 But I call that good marketing. No reason not to think they won't launch a new high MP camera next year. They are just trying to get more users to buy this camera now, and then also the real 1Ds3 replacement. If you owned a 1Ds3, would you buy this camera if you didn't have $6800 laying around?Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkjh2bh Westfall says: "Not many people need a 21MP file to begin with". But I guess everybody needs 18MP.The "three brains" processing system probably could have exceeded 12 or14 fps by a considerable margin if coupled to a sensor of 6.95 micron pixels in the APS-H format.And R.I.P. the 1.3 crop factor. Welcome softness around the edges. I'm going to miss using only the highest quality center portion of my L lenses.Like3Oct 18, 2011*permalinkfrenchmonkeys Seconded. I really don't understand the fuss about FF. I can live without the poorer resolution and increased distortion found at the edges of most 35mm format lenses.I've heard many wedding photographers make smug comments about how their FF 5D2 is so superior to my APS-H 1D4. When you match photos taken side by side with both cameras, they tend to quieten down somewhat whilst their cheeks flush.Like1Oct 18, 2011permalinkolyflyer It's a real nice camera, but I wonder why Canon is not making those buttons a little bit larger.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkjwhig From the UK Canon press release:The EOS-1D X offers a carefully revised version of the classic EOS-1 series design, with larger, more tactile buttons that make it easier for users to control settings – even in extreme conditions where gloves are required.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinktlinn I find this new model more curious than exciting. I think sports shooters will be thrilled. Wedding photogs with strong biceps will be too. It will be interesting to see just what is gained in image quality and low light capability given the loss in resolution. Speaking only for myself, resolution is not just important for print size; it's also important for cropping.It will be equally interesting to see how this fares compared to Nikon's upcoming D4. I don't think you can grade Canon without taking into account what Nikon is able to do with their next iteration of the D series.My biggest disappointment is the lack of built in radio-controlled flash system. This was the number one capability I was waiting for. Canon patented a system a year and a half ago and they've filed additional patents since. This seems like such an obvious game-changing feature. Unless it debuts in a 5D III or a new high end body, it's likely to be a long wait before another opportunity comes around.Like1Oct 18, 2011*permalinkDrazen Stojcic Buntovnik I think that's reserved for new 5d, which will probaly be more studio-oriented camera with higher resolution, slower speed and more attention given to flash.Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkfrenchmonkeys Based on what information?Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkihv Despite being proud of the speed Sony seems to be more powerful with already available product, and for such a machine the 1Dx 60fps option is missing for Full HD? Already today, long time ahead with the production, little bit underspecced?Like0Oct 18, 2011permalinkHowaboutRAW Which Sony? This Canon is most likely to destroy anything from Sony, though below ISO 400, and with a Japanese Zeiss, the Sony A900 takes nice pictures, slowly.Like1Oct 18, 2011permalinkGary Eickmeier Yep - looks like they are really getting scared of Sony more and more. Let's see if Canikon catches on to SLT.Sony no BaloneyLike1Oct 18, 2011permalinkRedFox88 Only a fool would consider the a77 a competitor to the 1D line from Canon. The 1D X makes the a77 look like a toy.Like1Oct 18, 2011permalinkKnight Palm By killing the APS-H, which had an inherent area handicap corresponding to -¾ EV relative to 135-format, this camera automatically gets a better S/N ratio than the previous 1D MkIV. But also being a later generation of the sensor technology should bode well for further increase in DR. How good in comparison with other competitors, DxOMark is one source to tell...For economy of scale, you want to proliferate your sensor to other usage.

Magnificent Mosque. The largest mosque in Brunei. Beautiful at night and day. The prayer hall is very large with a great dome. There are separate prayer halls for women. Very large car park. 5 minutes drive from the city centre.
The Jami Mosque is one of the most beautiful mosques that I have come across in my travels.Both interior and exterior are detailed with fine architecture.The gardens are immaculate and very aesthetic.Definitely a must see when visiting Brunei.
This is one of the landmark you must visit in Brunei, it would be incredible if you could visit inside too depending on the visiting hours and your attire, so please take note.
This is a very attractive place. Beautiful and elegance. A place must see if you are visiting Brunei

Response from claudepour | Reviewed this property |
of course you can visit,solo, but dress correctly and not during prayer. you can take a public bus from bus station downtown, stop in front of mosque.
What is the dress code for non-Muslim men's and women?
Response from khoeebecke | Reviewed this property |
