Preproduction Canon EOS-1D X Exists!

[cycomachead]

I agree with some on this thread: These do not look like pre-production cameras. No, they don't.

They don't need to look like anything, but I'm sure they're still preproduction because the body has been done for a while I'd assume. It feels great when you use it - the best of any Canon DSLR I've held. I think they're really just trying to fine tune the operation and firmware. When I ask Canon guys whether the AF features and configuration will be the same between 1Dx and 5D3 and they're hesitant to confirm anything with the firmware and features that hasn't publicly been said. I think they're doing all the can to make sure operation is perfect.

As this is a rumors forum, is nobody else curious about why two of the boxes in the OP picture have a round green sticker and the other two are just plain white (stickerless)?

Wonder what the difference is....

The White sticker ones are the "Pre-Pre-Pre-Production" bodies, the round Green sticker are; "Pre-Pre-Production", and soon there will be 1DX boxes with a Blue sticker on them and these will be the final "Pre-Production" cameras for the Olympics and Euro 2012. Please don't ask me what color sticker the 2013 'Production' version will have on its packaging......sounds like a Monty Python sketch (eh sorry Canon)
