The Canon 1DX naked. It feels light in the hand
Basically it's a machine gun.
Imaginary conversations follow ...
"I don't know much about this ... I just had an hour training on this but it shit I mean shoot like a machine gun. It's just freaking awesome."
"Does it focus?"
"You mean does it focus right? Correct? I don't have a clue but it has like 100 focus points so yes. Anyway, it shoots like a machine gun so it's just awesome."
On another more serious, disturbing and disappointing note: Nikon has no new flagship products on display. And alarmingly some of the products I tried on were iffy. I tried the million dollar Nikkor 35mm 1.4 with nano coating and the shit just didn't autofocus on a D700. OKAY, the guy thought it might be the camera. Then mounted it on a D7000. Still no good. Then tried on another smallish DSLR, then the thingy came alive. This just confirmed what I read online. Good thing I never bought the million dollar 35mm f1.4 with that special nano coating. So the lens or the camera or some combination thereof was kind of iffy. (Some say it's just bad contacts, well if I pay $2000 on a lens and $2000 on a body I want them to just work and not to have to get out an eraser to clean the contacts.)
