Canon 1Dx Mark II delayed?

It's delayed because they have to switch back to the old formula of sacrificing low ISO DR for high ISO extension... to compete with the D5.

...that's my guess...

A guess without any foundation.

Since early this year, the factory is producing 1DX Mark II, which has been completed several months ago. I'm 99% sure that at the end of 2015 the camera hardware was already finished, and since then have only made some adjustments in the firmware before January 2016.

It would be a total nonsense, Canon reprogram your professional top of the line camera, known to work reliably, to correct an "inferiority" compared to the competitor.

You see more white or black lenses in all sporting events and news coverage?

I'm pretty sure it was meant to be humor.

In a place with so many troll, I do not surprise me with absurd claims, and do not understand all humor, as English is not my first language. :

It is quite honest: It would not be difficult to add Canon ISO 3 million totally crappy S-IT, like Nikon D5.

I was alluding to the DR charts that are floating around for the 1DXII and D5. Look at these:

If these are indeed correct (don't look at absolute values, because there are different scales), Nikon lowered low ISO DR and increased high ISO DR between D4 and D5. Canon did the opposite between 1DX and 1DX II. Forget about the crazy high ISO values for the D5.

Just speculating on a possible reason if there is a delay.

I am not a troll.

Yes, I presumed the allusion was humorous. It's not like you can make those kinds of changes at this point, and even if you could, Canon would have no incentive to do so.

They likely are still figuring out how to add a food mode.

What's a "food mode"?

Haven't you read about this overwhelmingly great new 1300D that has a "food mode" on the dial to make excellent food photos? The 1DX2 might be superior for fast food because of its AF, but for ordinary food the 1300D will steal sales from the 1DX2, if they don't add a food mode there also. ;D

I was recently chuckling thinking what a lark it would be to start displaying ISO 3M D5 shots around the internet. "Buy a D5 and get fabulous ISO 3M capability - here's a sample". Nikon might think twice about playing that card again.

There is no hurry. 1DxII boxes and manuals are available for a few weeks already. ;D ;D ;D

True, probably can't make those changes at this point. Canon may desire to since the 1DXII is meant to be used at high ISO, not at low. They could be perceived to be behind.
