Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Announcement Coming in January 2016? [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
As always, I welcome a new 1D body, which will undoubtedly offer some new technology/hotness that I hope will trickle down for my next 5D purchase.
I'm kidding, of course. This camera is just another chance for Canon to lord over me that I'll never have AF-point linked spot metering in a 5D without letting a cabal of hackers do it for me.
(For crying out loud, the D5500 offers this on the other side of the fence.)

Would not be surprised to see the Canon 6D MKII also annouced at Photokina in September that would keep the timing difference between the 5D MKIV the same as the timings the 5D MKIII & 6D cameras had in 2012 assuming the 5D MKIV gets annouced in March next year.
I dont think the 1D X MKII sales would be canibilised by the 5D MKIV they will have totally different sensors and totally different set-up just as they have now. Photo Journalists prefer the 1D X, whilst wedding photographers, natural history photographers etc. prefer the 5D MKIII no reason to believe that would likely change.

Yeah, the crowd using 1DX cameras now are not going to migrate to Nikon anything. Not in any significant numbers. People invested in a system like that have a very low probability of switching. I think the only thing Canon is interested in the Nikon D5 is waiting for it to get announced so they can turn around and show it up with a 1DX2. And just like before, the Canon 1D body will vastly outsell the Nikon D body.

hopefully it will be the 1DX M2. Looking forward to an improvement in the camera.
Every new model is better than the previous one (so far), only wish I could be part of the team that sets the specs for the camera and decides which features to include.

Come on Canon! Now is your time to shine! Can you do better than this?

Forget sensor size for a moment, a 1Dx is a harbinger of the kind of technology the rest of the EOS brand will see someday. Therefore, it's significant.
A future SL2, in comparison, is really only a big deal to those who want a tiny SLR. I'd imagine there is very little 'tech pullthrough' being pushed from an SL2 up to the rest of the SLR line, but I could be mistaken.

153 AF points of WHAT type? ALL/MOST Dual Cross like the 1DX2 will have along with the 20M+ DPAF points? 153 AF points vs 90-100 dead-on accurate stellar AF points? That doesn't tell me much so far in that Nikon post

Having tried out both the Nikon D4 and D4S (+ various other Nikons) I think that Nikon may be better served with MUCH fewer AF point that actually work.
I really hope that Nikon shooters will see some dramatic improvements in the D5 and possibly equal the current 1DX. There are a lot of very nice people out there who have been badly let down by many current Nikon bodies. They make some of the best mid range APSC and FF landscape bodies going but when it comes to higher end action/wildlife their offerings simply fall well behind. There is simply no viable competition to the 1DX and 7D2 - this is bad for Nikon users and may make Canon complacent = not good for me!

Me too. I'd order one on Day 1.
Although to be the fair the 1.8 STM is surprisingly good.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct. This is a must-upgrade year for me as I have sat out the round of 5D3 and 5DS(r) models, while my 5D2 is beginning to show its lack of new, must-have features (compared to my 7D2). I'm glad we'll get a peek at the new sensor tech for the 1Dx2 and 5D4 early in 2016. If we don't see substantial increases in low-ISO DR and noise improvements at high-ISO, I may just pick up a 5DSR in 2016 in order to wait for the 1Dx3 and 5D5 in 2020. In any event, it will likely be no sooner than mid-year for the purchase of a new body so the reviews can come in and the prices can edge down a bit.

I guess a January announcement lets them show it off at all the big shows all year long. I can't get one, but this is exciting to me.

I don't think one will cannibalise the other. Two very different cameras with very different purposes at two very different prices.

At this rate I'll be getting the 1DX II when the 1DX III comes out:-\
That isn't bad. Never hurts to be a little behind the curve.

Heck, a lot of us with 5D Mark IIIs will never leave. The lens investment is too high... forget the body.

I'm trying to not get hyped up too much since I'm not 100% confident that 1DX2 will be such groundbreaking that I need to upgrade. It'd be awesome to be wrong here, but I like to start conservative and be positively surprised when the time comes.

I never forgot the special Christmas present I presumed to be a transistor radio, long ago. Turned out to be a crummy alarm clock!
I've sold my 1D IV based on the conviction that I'll get the 1DX II since I passed on the 1DX. I doubt that I could ever be disappointed in this situation. I want resolution that exceeds my 6D and that shouldn't be too big of an expectation, no?
