On the horns of a dilemma. I currently have a 1D MK iv and was looking to upgrade to the 1DX. With the 1DX Mk ii becoming available, not too sure what to do. Present price difference between 1DX and 1DX Mk ii is about £1000. Should I go for the 1DX or the 1DX Mk ii? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Gaz. My email barry_priddis@hotmail.com If I can pre focus on the jump then, setting a depth of field that will cover both horse and rider, I can then fire of some shots before moving the camera back to pick up the next rider. With the drag hunt it all happens very quickly as the hounds...

Thanks Billy, what do I search under?

Not too sure of what to call this. Anyway............. I have multiple images of a horse and rider going over a jump. The background stays the same, but the horse and rider are obviously moving. How do I combine all these separate images into one final image? Any help most welcome. I...
