Another EOS-1D X Mark II Spec List [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Be interesting if it also adopts elements shown in the 5DS / 5DS r such as the stronger base plate & cam mirror box. Would image the intervalometer will make its way into the new 5D MKIV along with the cam mirror box. I wonder if either camera will finally get wi-fi should be a given in this day & age.

Good points. Wi-Fi would be a great asset. I don't care for the video part however.
Who will have the best chance of a decent price in the first days of this camera's launch (other than B&H and Adorama)? Wish it would have seen the light of day prior to this year's Black Friday and Christmas buying seasons.

I desperately need Wifi. Times are changing for us sports photogs and JPG's out of cam are getting more and more demanded, at more and more demanding frequencies during a game/match. Recently I have been covering a lot of NCAA D1 men's soccer tournament rounds and they want photos every 10-12 minutes for social media updates. It's just getting tougher. I really need built-in Wifi. It's hard enough sorting and rating photos as it is.

Yeah this is much more in line with what I've been thinking. Taking that 24MP count up from the t6i, making it FF and DPAF. Even 20MP DPAF (FF flavor of the 7D2) would be fine. Obviously they need to maintain this camera as fast action light monster. Digic 7 was a given. No news there. 15fps, right where it should be. Someone said stronger base plate? Probably? But the all motor mirror of the 5DS? Doubt it. I would think that system, while far quieter and less vibration causing, is also much slower. A spring loaded return seems faster, and 24 MP isn't nearly as sensitive to motion blur as 50MP, so is it really necessary?
I'm sure they're going to find a way to stick in WiFi and GPS. It's the 1DX2. And no, you aren't going to get the same codec as their C300 for 4k but you will get the senor technology from it.

Yes, it is a great feature. I have it my C100. If I am doing outdoor shooting, then I can count on it achieving quick focus. It also allows for turning it off from a button, so once I have focus I can turn off DPAF and re-frame the shot as I want. This gives me the control that I like.

Dual CFast. Time to save for that time. Especially if I get a camera in time for trip to Africa.
Like to have GPS built in. Not likely but it is on my wish list.
14 stops DR. If true, that would be great. Like to see that range on 5D M4 (which might be called a 5DV unless you count the 5Ds and 5DsR as two models in which case it would be M6).

Not negative (not articulated yet better for movie shooters, at least) but for 1DX2 I'd rather be hearing "Slightly smaller (and lighter) Body", now seems it will just be same as current. As for just how much "slightly larger", making room for LCD could well eliminate back lower buttons - which leads to touchscreen (unlikely) - or just make use of the space of the Canon logo (pic). But that's pure speculation at this point.

It will most likely still be only as "clean" as what you get out of a 5D3 now or any other DSLR Canon makes, which still has some layer of processing on it compared to, say, Alphas. Sure the Atomos or Odyssey can do ProRes, but if the output still has that "Waxy" look people tend to compare DSLRs with, then it's not as nice. I don't believe you're going to get a "clean" output like you do on the C300.

I wonder if the AF points will cover more of the frame, or if they'll be smaller and cover the same area. IF this is accurate that is.

The only thing I can think of is that it could potentially have a negative effect on ergonomics depending on how much of a size increase as there's really not all that much space left for more screen real estate and the 1DX ergonomics are pretty much perfect as they are.
