Another EOS-1D X Mark II Spec List [CR2]

[Canon Rumors]

We have been sent a specifications list for the upcoming Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. This one is more in line with what we’ve been getting in pieces over the last 6 weeks or so.</p>
<p>Specifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>24mp full frame Canon sensor</li>
<li>80+ AF Points</li>
<li>New processor technology</li>
<li>14+ stops of dynamic range</li>
<li>Nearly 15fps</li>
<li>4K video (max frame rate unknown)</li>
<li>Dual CFast</li>

</ul>
<p>It’s possible there is marketing material being made for the upcoming camera, and we may start seeing some of those leaks.</p>
<p>More to come…</p>

any price predictions?

any price predictions?

Purely a guess, but I think it will be between US$ 6,000 - 7,000.

Not sure I see the benefit of a "slightly larger LCD".

More to come…

It's starting to get more interesting.
CR2+24MP+new sensor tech

Highly interested what the new sensor technically means and if it's still made inhouse.

 

[Chaitanya]

DPAF and dual card slots probably adoption of CFast should be nice.

 

[wockawocka]

After experiencing first hand the beauty of DPAF it would be a welcome thing.

True silent shutter, IBIS and DPAF would be a winner.

the interweb say's the launch price for the 1dx was $6799.00 so that seems about right.

Best review of the photos to photographers who wear prescription glasses?

 

[Treblid]

"New processor technology"

That's pretty much a given.

Best review of the photos to photographers who wear prescription glasses?

I am 20/20 so I cannot speak from experience, but wouldn't higher LCD screen resolution and a larger/deeper pre and post shot zoom be more beneficial to those with glasses and those without? I know I would like better resolution so I can zoom in a lot further to make sure focus is spot on. Would a slightly larger (must be talking millimetres) screen make a difference?

Nearly 15fps...

I agree, it's a question of "how much bigger?" Perhaps they could use some fancy OLED variety to essentially mount a display outside of the normal cutout, allowing it to be bigger without compromising the housing design.

Is there a slight chance, that the 5DIV could receive the same sensor, same new sensor tech? I think this would be a wise move by Canon. As there is enough they can leave out to seperate the flagship from their next lower level...less fps, one DIGIC, etc.

 

[StudentOfLight]

One thing I'd like regarding the rear LCD is an auto-rotate.

Just a couple of things -
"Wearing glasses" is usually associated with near sightedness, that is, the "far" seeing issues. A bigger LCD would help people who can't see near, usually people over 43.

Perhaps a bigger LCD also means that more information will/could be displayed on the screen.

It will be interesting to see how far they go with 4K. If it has 14+ stops of DR, then the video could be pretty special. I would probably go for it, if it has DPAF and clean HDMI out for external recording at a high bit rate and at 4:2:2. But then we are getting in the realm of the C300, which currently sells for about $16K.

There is also the 1D X C (or is it 1D C) to consider as well as the C100 MII.

Plus the fact that the 1D X (an amazing camera still) retails for such reduced rates these days.

Interesting times ahead for sure.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
14+ stops of DR on a CR2 rumor about a Canon flagship body, I guess that ends the DR wars of 2012-2015.

Autofocus at video mode?

15fps has to approach the limit for AE/AF shooting because of the mechanical aperture.
