Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Talk [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Wonder if the new viewfinder technology will be live histogram of the exposure.
new for Canon, but sony already has this.
Looking forward for more information about this camera and hopefully owning one or perhaps a pair.

I'll be very interested in just what features and specs the 1DX Mk II (or whatever model designation Canon gives it), actually has when officially announced. With each new version of the "1" series of cameras, I ask myself what will Canon do in the next version to top this! And each time, they add new features and capabilities, some of which I didn't even think of!
Right now, I plan on keeping my 1D4 and my 1DX. However, I did sell one of my two 1D4s to buy the 1DX, so who knows. I still enjoy the 1.3 crop of the 1D4 for some wildlife, but if the new camera offers the multi-format features of the new 5Ds and 5Dsr, that might influnce what I do with my current "1" series bodies.
So, this should be a very interesting year!

10 fps is fine for me.
16 stops of DR ( I'm not a fan of HDR )
wifi
5 axis IS in the camera. This feature really works well and now all lenses are IS including Zeiss Otus!
Focus peaking & histogram in viewfinder ( EVF overlay )
Face and eye detection.

24-28 range like the 5D4 rumors suggest. Probably with 4k as I dont believe Canon will maintain a separate 1DC body. Will have the senor tech of the new C300 with 15 stops of DR. CFast 2.0.... Hmmm maybe we get dual slots. One for CF and one for CFast 2.0

i would also like to see is a higher screen res on the lcd screen, it needs to be as least as good as a smartphone if not better and also needs be calibrated to give a true colour representation.
also a app for remote control of the camera would also be great, being able to set the camera on a short tripod at press conferences and remotely focusing and firing the shutter would be a good option.

First a probably stupid question but - I take it CFast isn't backward-compatible with CF?
If there's one thing I'd bet against appearing in a Canon DSLR, it's in-body IS.
Eye detection is one of those amazing technologies I scarcely believe, but would be great to see return.
Oh, and to those asking for more low-ISO DR at the expense of FPS - surely this is the wrong model for you? It's not a landscape camera, it's an action camera.

I believe Canon messed with body IS some time ago, but quickly realized that proper IS belongs in the lens where it can be tailored perfectly to match each model.

My Fish-list:
-wifi
-Extra DR at low ISO, less noise at high ISO
-good DPAF
About the CFast, I'm not sure. I'm already heavily vested on CFs, but I understand the limitations. So good compromise for this round would be one slow each, so CFast+CF.

Wasn't there a rumor of a electronic/ global shutter? all I care about is flash sync speed. I would love to see a Sports(high ISO & FPS), Studio(low ISO & sync speed), and Landscape(AA & DR) or some sort of clear specialization like they're trying with the 5D line.

Given how much people moaned when the 5Ds/r topped out at ISO 6400, I think that would not go down well! Plus, good high ISO performance is part of being an action cam - you need it for those 1/2000 exposures in dim conditions when flash is not an option.
I'd guess ISO 409600 is likely the new H2.

True, it could be gimmicky, but honestly, I'd like to think the technology out there at present would support taking a picture at dawn or dusk, creating a useable image at 6400 ISO at least.
I cannot shoot past ISO 400 with my 7D right now. Hate having to wait until high noon to take a picture.

The current 1DX does very well at 6400, so assume the new one will probably look a stop or two better at same ISO. The 7D doesn't compare. It's crop, not FF. But the new 7D2 does make notable improvements. And whoever is waiting to see this new DX at $5-6k .... just quit waiting. Won't happen. It'll be $7k just like the first one.

I'd like:
-Internal SSD-type storage accessible via USB 3.0, that link can run as fast as most receiving devices can write. Call it a pair of 256 GB volumes with the same recording options as the current body, that should cover 95% of users. Fewer moving parts, two fewer seals.
-Onboard RT flash transmitter - or at least swappable in-body modules for GPS or wifi or RT. My GP-E1 unscrewed itself and fell on the floor at a convention the other day, I'm g*****n glad someone pointed it out to me before it got stepped on! It hadn't fallen off sooner for being held on by my L bracket, but the plastic thread will loosen.
-Two-action lens release button. Come on, Canon; no-one changes lenses so often that half an extra second is an issue.
-Lens release button on the user's right; there is no reason for it to be on the user's left and a lot of benefit to it being on the right.
-Another dial under one's middle (perhaps pinky) finger; back dial for aperture, index finger ring for shutter, new ring for ISO.
-Three stage shutter button: AF on (or whatever) then single shutter then multiple at whatever rate.
Your wishlist may vary, void where prohibited by law.
