Why do people stand in line at Apple stores?

Yup, don't understand that one either!

They don't have internet and cannot order online?

I thought they just wanted to get on TV! :D

This new 1DX is amazing, but it's not like Canon are only going to make a few, there'll be plenty to go around.

I will hopefully be able to try it in real-life situation in April, then I will wish I hadn't as I will want to buy it. My 1DX is looking a little beat up!

Why would anyone pre-order? A serious question.

What is so incredibly urgent that you can't wait a few months until after it has shipped?

I preordered since I have a couple of trips in May and it would be nice to have the new camera for the trips.

How about a daughter's wedding in May? Stick with the 6D or jump on the 1DX II (I don't have a 1DX)?
I'm betting I could snag some HD video she'd be very pleased with. Doubt she'll have any video otherwise.

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

Preorder is now open here in Norway, so I pushed the button. I hope to have seen enough initial reviews and sample shots to make a more qualified decision before cancellation rights are gone (which I won´t use anyway ... ::))

I would have liked to see a few more pixels, like 24MP, but 20,2 will do. Full AF functionality (almost) at f8 is awesome and combined with further improvements in the AF system, excessive buffer capacity, improved DR and apparently also shadow noise, makes it worth it. Close to 9MP frame grabs from 4k at 60 fps will also be a cool feature to try. I am also very interested in the silent mode(s). If it is anything like the 5DSR, it is most welcome.
