Product features in detail
Sensor
The Canon EOS-1DX MK2 has a 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which raises the bar for professional digital SLR cameras. It captures incredibly sharp and detailed high resolution images with high dynamic range and low noise, even in low-light conditions.
image processors, mirror drive, and continuous shooting
The EOS-1D X MKII features Canon's latest generation dual DIGIC 6+ processors which deliver natural, vivid colours, smooth tonal gradations, and improved noise reduction at high ISO. Together with the new half mirror quick-return mirror drive system, they produce the most advanced image processing ever, and enable high-speed continuous shooting at up to 14fps and 16fps in Live View mode with a generous 170 images capable of being stored in the buffer, so you'll never miss that decisive moment.
4K video
One of the most exciting aspects of the EOS-1D X Mark 2 is the addition of 4K video capability at 30p or 60p, which is recorded internally onto the new generation CFast 2.0 storage media (the camera has 1 CFast slot as well as 1 Compact Flash slot). The Dual Pixel CMOS AF allows for smooth focusing transitions when shooting video. Additionally, slow motion recording is now available.
Perhaps even more impressive is its ability to take 4K frame grab 8.8 megapixel stills from a 4K video, which will surely be a revelation to long-term Canon fans.
focusing
Tracking and focusing on the EOS-1D X MK2 is lightning fast and super accurate with AI Servo AF III+ and 61 AF points. Even at f/8, all 61 AF points with 21 cross-type points are selectable (61 autofocus and cross-type autofocus points are available with select lenses only), which is not only invaluable but is also a first for Canon cameras
The expanded 61-point autofocus has 41 individually selectable cross-type points, including 5 dual cross type points at f/2.8. Cross-type points are illuminated in red in the viewfinder, and the autofocus reacts to both subject and camera movement for unrivalled levels of precision.
LCD monitor
The 3.2 inch 1,620k-dot touchscreen LCD monitor is coated with anti-smudge and anti-reflection reinforced glass, so performs exceptionally well even in bright sunlight. It has a viewing angle of approximately 170° horizontally and vertically, and brightness is adjustable manually to one of 7 levels. If necessary, the touchscreen can be disabled.
ISO
ISO sensitivity ranges from 100-51,200 in one-third or whole stop increments and can be expanded to L:50, h2: 102,400, H2: 204,800, and H3: 409,600 for unprecedented performance in low-light situations.
GPS
Cataloguing your images is easy on the 1D X Mark II, as it includes built-in GPS logs and IPTC input support for accurate image tagging. Longitude, latitude, elevation, and coordinated universal time are all logged, and position accuracy is with 30 metres. The camera can also continue to receive GPS signals when the power is turned off.
Construction
The EOS-1D X MKII has a robust construction which is both dust and drip-proof, and features magnesium alloy body covers. It can operate from 0° to 45° C at 85% or less humidity. The weight of the camera body is 1340g, and its dimensions are 158 x 167.6 x 82.6mm.
Data transfer
You can manage your images at high speed on the EOS-1D X MK2 using data transfer over built-in Ethernet, SuperSpeed USB3.0, or Wi-Fi via the optional WFT-E8 (5GHz band supported) or WFT-E6 wireless file transmitters.
