Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

 

Updates to Canon's 1D-series professional DSLRs are rare enough to count as something of an event. The new EOS-1D X Mark II replaces not only the EOS-1D X, launched back in 2011, but also the 4K video-focused EOS-1D C of 2012, improving on both. The...

Canon EOS-1D X Mk II review

 

The 1D X Mk II looks set to wow the pros shooting this year's Olympic games

Excellent control layout and handling ; 4K recording at 60fps ; Brilliant autofocus system

Only a small increase in resolution over the 1D X ; Limited use of the touchscreen technology ; Video mode needs a dedicated Quick menu

Canon has fine-tuned proven handling and controls in response to user feedback, and delivered a big gain in continuous shooting performance. It also pushes the Nikon D5 all the way for image quality within its standard sensitivity setting. We can...

Canon EOS 1D X Mark II review: The fast and the furious, part II

 

The big boss is back for round two: the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II is the company's top-end full-frame DSLR, which replaces both the original 1D X and video-focused 1D C models. And it really is one serious bit of kit, as we've been finding out during a...

Super-fast autofocus system is world class in continuous autofocus, great image quality, fastest-on-market 14fps burst with seemingly endless buffer (using CFAST card), decent battery life, solid construction as ever

No vari-angle screen (like Pentax), no clean HDMI output for 4K video, would like broader spread of AF points throughout finder, image quality limitations at super-high ISO

There's probably a thousand things we've not quite touched upon with this Canon EOS 1D X Mark II review - such as the rather capable Wi-Fi and remote control, or the GPS log tracking (both out-the-box in-camera features) - but that's just how detailed...

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II review: The definition of excess

 

A barnstormer of a camera that will keep up with the most demanding subject. The price will make you wonder if you really need it, though

4K 60fps video recording ; Excellent build quality ; Superb battery life

Very expensive ; A little on the heavy side

You pay every penny for all of that, and at £5,000 the EOS-1D X Mark II will be beyond the reach of many professionals and all but the best-heeled amateur. But pay the asking price and you’ll be rewarded with a camera that can keep up with virtually...

Canon EOS 1D X Mark II review

 

A top-spec camera that's got the need for (shutter) speed

Outstanding image quality ; 4K all the way ; Bulging with buttons

Baby battery ; Where’s the Wi-Fi? ; Temperamental touchscreen

A worthy replacement for the 1DX, with stunning image quality and superb handling.

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Review

 

The new Canon EOS-1D X Mark II shoots at 16fps and records 4K video. Find out how it performs in our full review.

4K DCI resolution video at 60/50fps ; High-speed FullHD video recording ; Warm or White AWB options ; Better battery life than expected ; 14fps continuous shooting with AF/AE ; 16fps continuous shooting with mirror up ; Headphone / Microphone sockets ;...

Large, heavy, with a loud shutter ; Touch-screen can't be used in playback ; Mono microphone recording ; Wi-Fi not built-in

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is the fastest shooting full-frame Digital SLR available, offering a rapid 14fps continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking, or an even quicker 16fps when shooting in live view mode with the mirror up and fixed AF. This would...

Rock Solid: Canon 1D X Mark II Review

 

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is the company's latest professional/sports DSLR. As well as boosting its shooting to 14 fps, it also gains touchscreen-controlled 4K video. With the Olympics around the corner, is the big Canon ready for Rio? Read more

It may surprise some people to realize that the 1D series now dates back 15 years, beginning with the original
