Announcing The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Am I the only one to whom the 1DX Mark-II looks good?
I am looking for better high ISO performance, even better AF, high frame rate, high DR (if Canon manages it somehow) and some other gravy stuff.
Pretty much ticks most boxes for me.

This looks so cool 8)
*drools*
Would love to see some tests, especially for the dynamic range of this thing!

Of course it looks good! It will be the best sports camera on the market when it comes out. It beats the 1DX, 1DC and anything Nikon tried to do.
It really all depends where you are coming from and what you need. If you have a 1D Mark IV and skipped the 1DX then this is a massive upgrade. But if you already have a 1DX then there will be questions as most of the major enhancements are on the video side of things, especially if your stills work is sport for example. I shoot a lot of sport and f/8 is not all that important, but is in other areas of my work. Just depends what you have, what you need and of course how important that spare US$5,999 is.

Then get it in your hands and review it. Then you'll love it, Chris. Personally I'm excited by it. Maybe I'm just keeping it in it perspective for what it is though too. Ultimate high speed, fast-action tracking (now even during 4k video recording) DPAF, 61-pt fully f8 auto focusing (HUGE for wildlifers), magnesium tank. Can't wait to shoot dance recitals this year with it. One weekend for me is about 14,000 frames in some WILD lighting situations.

Well... let's take the good performance from the 1DX before. Give it the same pixel dimensions as the wonderful 6D, add DPAF, plus new on sensor ADC build ... yeah I'd say this will look very pretty at 6400

Nope, it just means that what previously was only available in DPP is now also available in-cam for both JPEG and in-cam RAW processing.

The two most imported upgrade criteria for me are resolution and the High ISO noise performance compared to the 1DX.
On the resolution department it is not really an upgrade because it won't barely be noticeable coming from the 1DX
If the High ISO noise performance is 2/3 or 1 stop better than the 1DX I might consider the upgrade next year or something, otherwise I'll skip this generation because my 1DX still kicks major ass!
If it had a built in RT flash controller it would've definitely won me over. All the other features are not really needed/doing it for me.

Thing is, I was one of the first people in the UK to get the 1DX - I loved it, but the specs for this body don't 'feel' like a 3/4 year improvement. At least it's not what I expected.
For me, how quiet the silent shutter is and the image quality is what matters and that information feels very thin on the ground. But hey, it's just been announced, let's see what filters through over the next few weeks.

Of course it takes time to close down the aperture. Do you believe that the lens has to be wide open to achieve 12 fps on the 1D X?

Talking straight resolution, no it's not that big. But the quality of the pixels and sensor itself is likely a big jump over the old 18MP sensor on the 1DX (which was a lovely machine itself). Just look how pretty the 6D sensor was (same as 1DX2 dimension-wise at 20.2MP, and that has no DPAF or on-sensor ADC)

For those who are discouraged, I ask:
Is there any DSLR camera more capable than 1DX Mark II?
Some might want:
24 megapixel (not me)
More DR (how much more DR would make a difference?)
More focus points (with which quality and precision?)
C-Log (why not buy a C300 Mark ii)]
If wishes above were met, priced at $ 8,000, would you buy?

True dampened shutter option like the 5D3 / 5DSr , wifi, tilt screen would of sold me. If they'd released the mkii and kept everything else the same as the mki I would of bought it.
I love the speed of the 1DX series. Love the continuous buffer but as a wedding tog I need something that doesn't go 'MUTHA****ING CLACK!!!' during a wedding ceremony.
The 1DX was a perfect camera apart from the shutter noise and it was the reason I stopped using it. Weight being secondary.
It already had a perfect pixel pitch, great colour and ISO performance. In some ways, I wish Canon had put together a 1DX mini, Same feature set as a 1DX but in a smaller body.
Right now I use dual 5DSr's which have the most gorgeous colours but I miss the speed of the 1DX.
