Canon EOS 1Dx Mark II

88% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

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...

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...

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...

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...

14fps burst shooting. 61-point autofocus system. Large shooting buffer. Dual Pixel AF for smooth Live View and video autofocus. 20MP full-frame image sensor. 3.2-inch touch LCD. Pro-grade build. In-body GPS. 4K video. CF and CFast card slots.

4K video is cropped. Clean HDMI recording for 1080p only. Omits Wi-Fi and in-body flash.

Conclusions The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II takes the place of the older 1D X as Canon's top-of-the-line SLR. It offers several improvements, including an upgraded autofocus system for both stills and video, 4K recording, a faster shooting rate, and the...

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

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...
