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...

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...

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...

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.

With a newly developed 20.2MP 35mm Full Frame Canon CMOS sensor, the EOS-1D X Mark II offers continuous shooting speeds of up to 14 frames per second and up to 16 fps in Live View mode. The Dual “DIGIC 6+” processors offer high-speed transfer for up to...

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...

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is a pro-grade SLR with a best-in-class shooting rate, a full-frame image sensor, and an extensive lens library.

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

The EOS-1D Mark II offers 4K video, 14fps continuous shooting and a new autofocus system.
Expert review by : Phil Askey (dpreview.com)
The new Canon EOS-1D Mark II is the successor to the Canon EOS-1D which was announced and introduced at the end of 2001. This new generation of digital SLR almost doubles resolution with its new eight megapixel CMOS sensor, doubles the size of the...
Excellent resolution, not just a step change from the EOS-1D but a leap Switch from CCD to CMOS delivers very clean images with no pattern noise Maintains EOS-1D's amazing 8.3 fps and increases buffer to 40 frames (JPEG) Superbly well built, 'a solid...
Startup delay - on a camera at this level we expect no startup delay JPEG images appear a little soft, can be improved by increasing sharpness setting Control system can be a little confusing at first, menu operation different to other D-SLR's...
The original EOS-1D was a very important camera for Canon, their first home grown professional digital SLR built to EOS-1V standards and carrying that all important '1' label (indicating the best in their range). As such it was a camera which made its...
