The first 1DXIIs are out

[Eldar]

My photography friend Tom Svensson, who is a Canon Explorer, has just received his 1DXII and posted this image yesterday. This is a production model. Fingers crossed, deliveries will soon be coming our way.

Once the non explorers start receiving theirs, let the DR/latitude testing begin! lol

Why is Canon not releasing any RAW files?? So we can examine them?

Thanks for this information, Tom.

Sorry about that Tom, thought it was the finished article ...

;D Interesting turn of events, just the box was released and not the camera

Thank you Eldar for great information !

Interesting what's "G" in the camera name for - 1 dx mk II (G)

Yes, that's exactly why.

Ooops!

I think it is great that Canon even tests the quality of the boxes it uses for its flagship.

And seems to test them with no other than Canon Explorer's, who know better than anyone else just how a Canon box should perform.

Why DPR or TDP has never done a review of the boxes is beyond me!

 

[J.R.]

So are we going to get a review of what the DR of the Canon box is, as against the box of the Nikon D5?

Well it certainly has managed to put up a fight against some pressure to the top right corner. Was that in transit or just excitement at finally getting the production box.

And was the pic of the "production box" taken with a Canon 1DX Mark I or II - or God forbid, an iPhone?!

All the threads we could have had on CR talking about boxes. What a missed opportunity.

 

[J.R.]

;D ;D

Just curious though, why would Canon be shipping empty production boxes to people? The box wouldn't need extensive beta testing now, would it?

It won't. The 1Dx II is unlikely to be bought by users looking solely for low ISO DR.

Maybe revision of the box design?

"G" is for GPS. For example, the 6D has (WG) and (N) versions for WiFi/GPS vs neither, the latter sold where WiFi/GPS are prohibited by country regulations.

I haven't heard of a non-GPS version of the 1D X II, but this implies there is or may be one produced.

Even the box is being beat up on CR, tough crowd.
