Pros: All

Cons: If I really have to find one at all costs then I would say the lack of silent click for certain situations of naturalistic photography. But the merits are such as to make this "defect" uninfluential or almost.

Opinion: Just fabulous. Extraordinary focus (coming from a 7d Mark II that still has a very good autofocus, this is another planet), hooks the subject to the flight even with complicated backgrounds. Dynamic range that allows you to grasp details that almost escape the naked eye. Great yield at high ISO. If you need it, the gust doesn't leave you on foot. Balances the weight of fixed canvases perfectly, making it easier to use them. What about it? If you really have to look for the hair in the egg then the silent shot is the only mole. But it's a missing comma on a perfect page. Before I took it I had the doubt of the 5d Mark IV – more recent and much appreciated by those who own it – so much so that I had gone to try it. Already after two exits with the 1DX I realized that between the two there is no history – without taking anything away from the 5d. After 6 months of intense use I can conclude that for naturalistic photography the 1 DX is the best choice I could make. It's a war machine that practically doesn't miss a beat when set properly. And if you try the impossible shot you know that this machine has a good chance of doing it anyway! Rating 9.5.

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing for me

Opinion: I've been using it since 2013 and, apart from an initial problem on the mirror block (mine is imported directly from Japan) solved with a cost not even so high, it allowed me to make just under a million shots before having to replace the block again mirror and shutter. At this point my faithful workmate is left for who knows how many more hundreds of thousands of shots, all perfect. (If someone wasn't, it's certain that it's my fault)

Pros: Shooting speed, image quality, focus system, ergonomics, autonomy

Cons: Flashy camera, heavy and bulky

Opinion: It has replaced the previous 1d and 1ds series, although in practice it is essentially a 1d with full-frame sensor (the role of cameras with high-resolution files was instead acquired by the 5ds and 5dsr). It is a professional model: it is true that this wording is partly due to marketing strategies, but there is also something concrete, which goes beyond the specifics of the individual components. Compared to other coevi eos models, in fact, the af system offers superior performance, the sensor is the one with the best snr side performance and dynamic range, the viewfinder offers more visual comfort, and the mechanical construction/reliability and longevity of the components is on another level, not to mention ergonomics and autonomy. It is not, of course, an ideal camera for anyone, but it undoubtedly offers a point of balance that the other eos do not reach (although maybe they offer files with more pixels etc.). The autofocus is one of the camera's strengths, although it obviously doesn't benefit from the latest technical solutions adopted on the 1dx mark II (which offers a stop advantage in low light conditions, greater stability in maintaining the put and the ability to have up to 61 af operating points, even with optics and extenders with maximum aperture of f8). Image quality side, the only advantage of the 1dx mark II is to have an extra dynamic range stop at iso 100, a benefit that rising with the iso sensitivity gradually shrinks, until it disappears. At high iso sensitivity, in fact, the two sensors are substantially on par (and outperform the various 5d and 6d currently on the market). As for the videos, apart from the fact of not recording in 4k and stopping at 30p in 1920x1080, the real limit of the 1dx, compared to the 1dx mark II, is the absence of the dual pixel cmos. In full-hd the image quality offered by the two cameras is similar, but the 1dx requires a follow-focus or similar system, to record certain types of videos, while the 1dx mark II offers a reliable and easy-to-use focus system. Buffer side, with a tab cf 1066x udma7 you can take more than 40 consecutive photos, in raw (depends a lot on the scene and iso sensitivity set), at 12fps. For those who need the wireless unit wft, i note that the 1dx is compatible with the wft-e6 model, but not with the next wft-e8 (designed for the 1dx mark II): this is annoying, since the latest unit offers several additional features, in addition to the fact that it is more easy to find.

Pros: Solid, ergonomic, fast, precise, complete. Finally I do not have to buy the BG to balance the optics

Cons: Non-existent silent click

Opinion: After so much I managed to buy it. A show! The files that churns out are among the most workable I've ever seen in the house Canon. Crazy AF, light meter and spectacular gust. The high ISO seal is in line with the sensors of the period (6d and 5DIII) as digital noise, but the recovery of shadows and lights is much simpler. The 18 mpx are more than enough, even in birdlife. I prefer to try to get closer rather than tempt crop exate. The only downside is the silent shot which is not silent at all. But it is a flaw that you will gladly forgive.
