Canon 1Dx Mark II delayed?

[J.R.]

Found this on Canon's Japanese website - now I did use Google translate for this so I'm not sure this is accurate.

If anyone has any information on this, please share.

...which still puts the 1DXII in the hands of the cream of the worlds sports shooters on Canon's biggest stage, the Olympic Games. Best they get it 100% right.

But hey, May isn't so far away. Look how fast the last couple of months have gone.

You joking!!!
Every minute became hour ever since it was announced.

They are likely adding the food mode right now, so it is better than the 1300D

B&H says expected availability is now 1 May 2016.

Perhaps Canon discovered a problem with the boxes that the 1DX Mark II ships in.

Wonder if they will extend the window to get free Cfast card and Cfast reader?

amazon says the same thing May 1st guess there's a problem or they needs more time too fine tune the cameras
or there giving the olympic's shooters more time too play with them and push them too there limits

This could be about shipping logistics and marketing needs and not the bodies themselves.

Re: New 1dx mk2 ship date

although slightly off topic but along the "not before the 1DXII ships" line, I guess the 5DIV is an august announcement and the 6DII a February/March 2017 announcement...well, I may be wrong.

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

I planned a trip in late April to Denver. Oh well.
I am so disappointed. Can't change the dates as it is tied to some work related stuff and I just tagged on a couple of days. Hope they send the preorders a week early!

Actually they decided to add a "patience" mode. Sadly. I didn't pre-order or I'd be anxious too.

The Canon store web site showed May 1st from the date of release. Adorama showed, I think 25 April, and B&H showed unknown. They obviously weren't firm on the ship date, and because of that, I was hoping for an early release. I am upgrading from the 1D Mark IV, so hopefully it will be well worth the wait.

With respect to higher ISO it'll be soooooo much better than the 1D4, of that I have NO doubt.

What's a "food mode"?

 

[CaptureWhatYouSee]

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...
