|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Upgrade 2nd body to combine 1dx. (5d mark III / 1D mark iv) Kay in t Veen, Photographer, Photo Editor Rotterdam | ZH | Netherlands | Posted: 10:25 AM on 10.27.12 ->> Hi all, Recently i've upgraded from my 2x 1d mark III + 1x 1d mark Iv to a 1D-X + 1D III. Of course stupid to sell the IV, but really wanted the 1dx. Anyhow. now i notice i dont ever use the 1dIII anymore and loose key moments that way. so in order to solve this i want to buy a xtra body either a 5d III or a 1DIV again. How does the 5D hold for you sport shooters. I hardly shoot portraits and such and will use the 1dx for that i guess. doing a lot of fieldhockey, soccer, and indoor sports, but will used for 99% of the times as second body during football/fieldhockey during both day and night games. I tried the 5D mark III but hate the change of inteface when using 1D bodies for 4 years. but im sure if i shoot a few weeks with it it will get used to it. but how does the AF compare to the IV. anybody got ideas?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you don't use the 1DIII why would buying yet another body help your situation? It would help to know why you aren't using the second body you already have.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I also think the ISO is about 1/2-2/3 stop better on the 5D III but other than that,the 1D IV is a better camera. FWIW when shooting the sports you mention in daytime I have my ID IV with a 300 2.8 and 1.4x and the 5D III with a 200 F2.0 The combo of full frame and crop is nice. I really don't like having the two interfaces. The grip on hte 5D III helps but If I only shot sports, I would have a second 1D IV (and dump the 5D III) but I do enough other work that I like the full frame and bigger files. Seems to me with the 1Dx, a 1D IV would be a great complement. I don't know what a 5D III would add. Good luck  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
