Who are used to shooting with a 1D-series camera should feel right at home
The 1D X II follows perfectly in this tradition. Visually
It's almost indistinguishable from its predecessor
While on paper it gains just two megapixels of resolution. To a larg

Abstract: The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is the fastest DSLR ever, making it the best tool for the professional sports photographer. It can take 14 images per second of moving subjects, an impressive achievement that's particularly useful for action photography. Compar...
Abstract: At a glance: 20.2-million-pixel full-frame CMOS ISO 100-51,200 (50-409,600 extended) 14fps shooting (16fps in live view) 61-point autofocus with 41-cross-type 3.2in 1.62-million-dot touchscreen Internal 4K 60fps video recording Two days before the first...
The Canon 1D X MkII represents the very pinnacle of how far the industry has pushed action photography cameras. If you make your living in this realm and already shoot with Canon kit, there's nothing better you can buy – it's simply remarkable. But thi...
Outstanding image quality, 4K all the way, Bulging with buttons
Baby battery, Where's the Wi-Fi?, Temperamental touchscreen
Take each little incremental change by itself, and the 1DX II doesn't really look like a leap forward from the original. Add them all together, though, and you've got a very tempting upgrade, or step up if you're shooting on a 5D. Parting with your cash...
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 expect t...

Handling and controls largely unchanged, Stunning shooting speed and burst depth, 4K video at 60fps
Big, heavy and expensive, Only a small increase in resolution and max ISO
Canon looks to have judged the 1D X II to perfection, fine-tuning proven handling and controls in response to user feedback and delivering a big gain in continuous shooting performance. The 4K video is maybe no surprise, but the ability to capture 4K at 6...

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 t...
Abstract: Canon recently launched 3 new cameras - Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, Canon EOS 80D and the Canon Powershot G7X Mark II. We got our hands on these and here are our first impressions about them:Canon EOS-1D X Mark II – Flagship Professional Camera with 4k Capabi...
Abstract: The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II and Nikon D5 are undoubtedly the flagship cameras for both companies, and both are cameras that many professionals have been waiting for. The EOS-1D X Mark II replaces the EOS-1D X from 2011, while the Nikon D5 replaces the D4...
