Pros: ISO, Speed, AF

Cons: Oil spatters on CMOS !!!!

Opinion: The 1DX MK II is a great upgrade to the old 1dx, the raws files are a lot cleaner, the AF-Trackingspeed form the AI-Servo III shows a great improvement to the older one...My only problem with this camera are the oil spatters on the sensor, it is not normal that the entirely sensor is dirty after only 1000 shots with a such type of camera, i hope Canon will fix this problem in the near future !

Pros: General quality, robustness, autofocus system, speed, battery life, dynamic range, reliability, high ISO quality, customization, Full HD and 4k video performance, unique color science, 4k 50/6op

Cons: No audio during slowmotion, 4k and slowmotion fully usable only with CFast 2.0, no external 4k recording cards

Opinion: At a first superficial examination Canon EOS-1D X Mark II would seem a slight facelift of the older sister, but in reality it is a new generation tool that, without prejudice to the incredible photographic qualities, offers a series of tools of high Level also to videomakers. Given the high quality of the 1D X Markk II, it is justifiable to think that the improvements are few, but just use it a few days to understand that, notwithstanding some limits incomprehensibly imposed by Canon, this machine would risk being perfect. Dynamic range of the RAW file incredibly extended, JPG much softer but nevertheless of excellent level, burst of reference, infallible autofocus system and deeply modulable to your own needs, performance at high ISO incredible, robustness, Reliability, extreme battery life are the strengths ID this model. On the other hand, the touch screen is very little exploited, the body is (inevitably) very heavy and the menus are as always very complex and sometimes unclear. The video compartment offers 4k of excellent quality that however denounces a crop very obvious and can not be recorded externally. The full HD is exceptional, with the possibility of turning at 50p or 60p, there is the slow motion 100/120p, and you can turn even 50/60p in 4k. But in this context, it seems that Canon has wanted to neutering this monster of performance, perhaps to protect the C series. Very controversial choice, because C100 Mark II, C300 and the new C200 are still struggling to keep up with the products of other brands. Why offer an exceptional slowmotion, but amputate the audio? Why not allow the ability to shoot in 4k with external device to get a 422 10 bit color depth? Yet it allows you to shoot in 4k 50/60, feature that many competitors do not offer! Ultimately, great machine, which maybe a serious firmware update on the video side could become absolutely perfect.

Pros: Autofocus, maneuverability, disturbance to 1d m IV, robustness etc. etc. RECOMMENDED!

Cons: Silent shot of de stappa! ;-) sorry! But the silenced shutter is noisier than a distracted tractor! 2) caricature lan link, only succeeded with eos utility, and not via ftp protocol. 3) High battery consumption compared to 1d m IV at least twice as high.

Opinion: When I try the field I will update. For the moment I have done some tests and I have to say that it is at least 2 steps forward to the unforgettable 1d M IV, which I am AFFECTABLE! In fact it was difficult for me to replace it I confess it. In these tests I saw a latitude of pose (dynamic range to mean ;-)) absolutely fantastic, the "asa" yield (sorry but i'm "iso" i can not say it) and its disturbance are absolutely out of the ordinary, revealing As canon engineers have worked us well. Great setting af and its picture style that have at least 3 different factors to adjust for definition. It has infinitely configurable configuration for all needs. Well-tune LCD monitor that returns a well made prew. It has an exceptionally brilliant delay of just 0.055 which can further be reduced to 0.033 (I'll let you know how it will just happen to have its baptism of fire) .rnRimane the tare of the "clickSilent "silence is not (it was more than 1d m IV) .nn BATTESIMO DEL FUOCO: Then yesterday I tried it on the field, during a well-fed dance and work load. Rn As" review "there was Even the unknown "light" (that is, each participant can ask for the variations of scene lights as he wants, which he can not do in the competition because an "atmosphere" could influence judges by distracting them from the technical and artistic aspect that each dancer expresses) .FREE FIRE: absolutely perfect at all times engages the subject and keeps the fire even with very little light. The only thing to be aware of is the speed of fire to settle well because for example I was slow and in a couple Of cases did not make time to fuze (though a couple of cases over 4,000 shots) .rRITART OF ROTATE: Further reduced. However, giving up the stabilization check (with the mono piAnd even deactivating it to gain in definition) it can further reduce 0.033. Done! And you have the real feeling of immeasurability. In fact, too, I have to do my hand, because used to the old car, initially I had some difficulty, nothing can not be exceeded though.rnPOSITION: I lowered the contrast of the picture style to the minimum, which theater is important to keep under control As much as possible, cut lights etc. etc. A great dynamic range that can contrast with exposure differences of at least 3 stops more than the previous models, so you have a total of 5 0 6 stops total latitude on which you can rely on 25,000 and broken iso ( However, to be checked EVER case by case), let's say that all iso, even h3, the range remains completely under control and returns an absolutely natural grayscale. Even the "ISO yield" in my opinion is better (but it could be a "feeling" dictated by enthusiasm), whichEqual adjustment has a much better result in display response, certainly due to the best dynamic range.rnDISTURBO (PIXEL GRAN ASA / ISO ECC. ECC): Absolutely another planet compared to the 1d mark IV. I worked quietly up to 25,000 asa! I pushed up to 40,000! NO problem of disturbance. Although, objectively, the image is overwhelmed by sensitivity, due to the "high-pitched noise control", which is increasingly heavy, and to me this is a nuisance. So I recommend a lower intensity adjustment to return more naturalness to the image. However up to 1,600 asa the grain is absolutely absent as if you hit at 50! Up to 6,400 is really as minimal as the old 400. Up to 12,600 as the old 800! So compared to my reference model I bought about 4 stop disruptions! DEFINITION: ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT PREVIOUS! BnBATTERIA: Consume 'in digit! With the old car and battery I faced at least a coupleOf events of this amount of photos. With this and its new battery I came to 2/3 of the event with lan and gps turned off. I put the old battery to end the show and at the end of the job I had consumed about 55%. My advice is, if you work, to buy it, even working in the studio, unless you have to do particular magnifications. Why take a good step. I understand that it is costly, but believe me in a job prospect in which you seek uncompromised quality, the price difference with the 5th series is less than what you can think and is well damped anyway in a very short time.rnMy advice Even to the evolved hobbyists who want to move towards the 5th series, that price difference is largely "repayed" by the difference of yield. R Lan connection for the moment only succeeded through eos utility and not via ftp protocol

Pros: EVERYTHING ... dynamic range, rendering iso, customization, robustness, reliability, burst, made bestial fire compartment crazy video

Cons: touchscreen untapped, weight, position of some buttons, no wifi

Opinion: I can not fault, for me very complete machine around, maybe some mpx in more but already these are enough for any cosa.rngamma miglioratissima, excellent ISO performance, we wait a bit for the CFast prices that are really very high. None TRUE defect ... only small quibbles on weight ... and banality 'if you really really want to find the coat in egg .... is a perfect machine ... excellent in all there is more to say.

Pros: Af, gust, Organization keys and menus. Best Dynamic Range at low ISO, general IQ, the cost of the competition and the number 5 (in proportion). AF f / 8 on all points

Cons: Lacks the wi-fi, I would have preferred 24Megapixel resolution, High ISO little better of 1Dx.

Opinion: An incomparable work tool for ergonomics and speed 'operation. Very similar to 1Dx in all respects, which have improved many things, primarily the low iso sensor. I enjoyed the new sensor with the DA on chip that has improved a lot of the DR at low ISO, making the workability 'of the best file. As always for the Canon jpeg files' already 'great straight from the camera, the WB and' very good and much improved.
