Canon EOS-1D X Mk II review
The Canon EOS-1D X Mk II is a replacement not just for the original 1D X, but also for the EOS-1D C pro video camera. And while in some areas the Mk II seems like a modest upgrade of the tech in the 1D X, in others it breaks entirely new ground.

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Review
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. If you're shopping for a camera that can handle any situation—from the sidelines of an NFL game to the front lines of a war zone—you'll quickly narrow the search to models from Canon and Nikon. The EOS-1D X Mark II ($5,999) is Canon's top-end model. It offers some notable upgrades over the original 1D X ( at Amazon UK) , including an autofocus system that covers a wider area of the frame, vastly improved focus in Live View mode, and 4K video recording. It's an excellent performer, and one that's sure to be the workhorse of many a photographer. It falls just shy of Editors' Choice marks, which belong to rival Nikon's D5 ( at Amazon UK) , but the two cameras are so close in quality that the winner had to be determined by photo finish. DesignThe 1D X Mark II ( at Amazon UK) is virtually identical to its predecessor on the outside. It's a big camera, with an integrated vertical shooting grip, a tough magnesium build, and extensive protection from dust and splashes. It measures 6.6 by...- 14fps burst shooting

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 couple of days' shooting for this review - from...- 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
Canon EOS 1D X Mark II review
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.- Outstanding image quality
- 4K all the way
- Bulging with buttons
- Baby battery
- Where's the Wi-Fi
- Temperamental touchscreen
