EOS-1D X Mark II in Final Preproduction Form
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
In five weeks I'll be at an SEC football game with one of Canon's "Explorers of Light." I'll have to pay close attention to what he's shooting with. I'm sure he would be sent a prototype, he shot sports for Sports Illustrated for 30+ years with Canon.

One thing I never understand about CR is why is there no rating with this news?
Why is it not CR1, CR2, CR3 or anything?
If it is not rumour then surely it should be CR5 - or whatever it would be.

Does this sound like an October announcement (very likely in reference to the 1DX announcement back in 2011) with first units being available around Christmas, Jan 2016? Then a rumored 5DIV could see an announcement either in March or August 2016, right? Looking forward to the 1Dx2 to make way for the next 5D's announcement... 8) Surely wonder, what it will be high ISO like...

So it is too late to wish for:
Interchangable Viewfinder (evf)
36/42mp 5-7fps fullframe mode
18/24mp 16-20fps 1.6 cropMode???
Touchscreen?

Get the 5Ds, you can really crop with that
I do wonder how often I use the higher fps. A lot of the time, as mentioned, it's too many frames and you tend to wind it back a little, to maybe 8 or 9fps.
Isn't there an argument by the Pro's that you should be waiting for the decisive moment and then fire off a few frames, but not "pray and spray" ?
Ah if only we had bank accounts to match our imagination and desire

What do you know that you can't tell us this time? :-X
Is that the real Mark II in the photo or a PS image.
Was it the 7D Mark II that you had in hand while telling us nothing! (except a photo snuck in a post)
Has Canon found a backdoor to shutdown the rumor mill? :'(

Yes agreed. 12 fps has gotten me shots I might not otherwise, such as the ball just on the tip of the receiver's fingers. You cannot time that shot as it's all luck. And increasing fps increases your chances of hitting that. It doesn't guarantee it but it increases the chance for sure.

I don't even want to have a Sony a7rII for free.
The A7rII is a very nice camera, unfortunately it will NOT work for sports/action/birding - I have already returned the camera. Focus not fast enough, EVF stops for half a sec with every shot which makes tracking impossible and other issues.

Yep, being able to "spray" is nice. It is the praying part that is actually not a part at all. I am a bird in flight photographer and I always try and find the decisive moment and then let my 1Dx rip. Of course the benefit of being able to shoot 12 fps is that your chances of capturing the best combination of bird position, wing position, head position, best background, best configuration of water drops coming off the bird, etc. goes way up. Nothing worse than shooting 5 fps and just about every shot has the bird in the wing down position. Believe me it happens. Bring on the 1DxII with 15 frames per second.

The writing's on the wall for sports photogs. Frame grabs from High Res video, 4K, 8K, etc, will eventually take all of the guess work out of it. Events will just be recorded while you sip your coffee, scan the results later for the great shots. Or maybe even the great shots will be plucked out automatically by software.
