Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Announcement Coming in January 2016? [CR1]

[Loswr]

Canon missed every 2015 Christmas shopper.... I think I'll wait until the first RECALL like on the 1DX Mirror Box and PCB issues. Can Canon put out a BUG FREE pro product? My 1DX has spent more time in service than I've used it. Now they recall all my 7 600EXRT's and my radio controller.... If Canon's 1DX MKII is not a VAST improvement over the 1DX.... I'm not buying anymore GLASS until Canon puts out vastly updated technology where I don't need 3 bodies to travel with because they fail. I travel with 3 1DX bodies and on almost every assignment "something" happens to one or two that degrades quality. As a pro sports shooter... THERE MUST BE SOME relief for us!!!! I don't want another 1DX that needs more oil changes than a 1950 Chevy

Bummer. I'm sure Canon cares just as much about lost Christmas sales of the 1D X II as they do about your threat to not buy any more of their lenses.

<p>We’ve been told by a couple of people that Canon is gearing up for a “significant’ DSLR announcement in January of 2016. While no camera was mentioned, we feel that any “significant” announcement would be for Canon’s new flagship DSLR and not an EOS 80D.</p>
<p>We have been <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/more-canon-eos-1d-x-mark-ii-talk-cr2/">told previously</a> that we should expect the new camera to be shipping no later than April 2016.</p>
<p><em>More to come…</em></p>

Interesting. I've been shooting sports professionally for over 3 years now and I've never had one problem with any of my 1Dx's. Indoor track sucks because I usually have to shoot at ISO 4000 or 5000 and miss focus a ton, but nothing else.

Santa called and said that since the 1DX II didn't come out in time for Christmas, I'll just have to save another $5,000 if I want one in April.

What a bastid Santa is . . .

Somehow I doubt that the Christmas shopper is who Canon has in mind with the 1DX.

It would be a very nice Christmas present I could buy myself. Then again it would be a very nice January present I could by myself, or February present or March present ...
