Canin 1D X vs. Nikon D4 - High ISO Test

Finally first comparison between the Nikon D4 and the Canon EOS 1D X is now available,  Matt head of xerodigital tested both Canon 1D X and Nikon D4 side by side,  based on test result the overall performance of 1D X is really impressive.

Camera / shot setting: Images captured at RAW mode, processed in Lightroom 4, sharpening and noise reduction set to zero.



Main points of the review

  • ISO performance: Nikon D4 seemed to have cleaner highlights, while the Canon 1Dx appeared to have better contrast and possibly cleaner shadows. In the end, if we have to award a point here and pick a winner, it’s the Nikon D4 – by a hair
  • AF in Low-light: During the low-light Test condition Nikon D4 performed better, focuses bit quickly than Nikon D4.
  • AF Speed: The Canon 1Dx ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED the Nikon D4 in the AF speed test. Canon 1D X is three times faster than the Nikon D4.
  • Autofocus Consistency: Winner Canon 1D X
  • Shadow recovery: Winner Nikon D4

AFTER A DECADE OF SHOOTING PROFESSIONALLY WITH NIKON CAMERAS, MATT IS THINKING OF SWITCHING TO CANON…

A head to head comparison between the two flagship cameras. In the end, a decision is made!
