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: Well, a sturdy body, resistance to all kinds of weather, dust etc., shooting at 14FPS (a monster), performance at high ISO truly exceptional, at 10,000 ISO I don't see grain, absurd, with this I'm not even afraid to raise them. Exceptional AF setting, an excellent viewfinder, very reliable exposure meter, even at 1 single AF Point and does not miss a shot, obviously in similar LV but it does not have the Servo AF (in video of course we would miss it: it has it and the focus is hallucinating, it also follows faces well).

Cons: The focus I don't serve in live view, they could put it being that the younger sister 5D M4 has it, however it is not a big limit, oh well non-articulated display that can be a limit to make some shots, the display a little below the 5D M4 (boh, no sense, perhaps because it came out earlier), more than anything else to have a faithful view of the shot already from the monitor it has, which for heaven's sake is defined and is great, but the 5D has a monitor a little better, I have both. No WiFi, but it can fit, GPS obviously present. The sensor must be cleaned regularly, alas, it gets dirty after 5/6 months of intensive use.

Opinion: I bought it by reselling the R6 Mark II (it seemed like a toy in comparison) and then for 1950 euros [with barely 70,000 shots] that I paid for it with a free drum kit (not new, but oh well, for what they last) from CS in Rome, it was always my dream as an amateur a body like this, an embarrassing speed and reliability as scary as it is, The R6 has 12 mechanical FPS (2022) the 1DX 14 (2016) and years later it defends itself well with the majority of mirrorless cameras on the market, the RAW file is literally mistreated, you can recover the good of god. The quality of detail, despite the 20.2 MP is embarrassing in comparison to the lady 5D Mark IV that I already own, the 1DX M2 came out in early 2016, the 5D almost the third half of that year. The focus, reliability and brightness of the viewfinder is hallucinating, a magnesium alloy body in all respects, if the 5D could already be mistreated this guy resists everything, weather, salt, dust, rain. Obviously I try to make this happen to me as little as possible, but during some football matches, I had to work in difficult conditions between wind and rain and despite my fear I was still serene, less for the optics, a 70-200 Sigma Sport, but okay.

Pros: Rugged, dust and weather resistant construction, Continuous shooting speed (14 fps). Exceptional ISO performance for working in harsh environments

Cons: Non-articulated display, limiting for some shots, price

Opinion: I use the Canon 1DX Mark II as a photojournalist, especially for black and white in extreme conditions, and I can say that it is a camera that does not disappoint. The solid and durable construction allows you to work without hesitation in hostile environments, whether it's dust, rain or prohibitive temperatures. The sensor offers an astonishing dynamic range, which in black and white allows you to capture every nuance, from the darkest shadow to the brightest white, making every shot deeply expressive. The autofocus is incredibly responsive, even in low-light situations, which is a key feature for capturing moments on the fly. However, weight can become a limit during prolonged reporting, and the size makes it less discreet than more compact models. The fixed display and some less advanced video features also penalize it compared to newer competitors. Despite this, it remains an irreplaceable tool for those who, like me, seek absolute reliability and unparalleled image quality to tell stories in black and white with authenticity and impact.

Pros: Fast AF, always responsive, reliable light meter, spot metering with active focus point, touch screen in live view, dual pixex af for precise and fast focusing in live view, being a series 1.

Cons: Nothing striking, but as someone who preceded me in the reviews said, too bad they did it knowing that they would make the mark III and therefore they deliberately castrated it in some functions (present for example on the contemporary 5d mark IV), such as the absence of touch screen not usable to navigate the menus or for the touch shot on the monitor or lack of wi-fi etc., But nothing you can't do without.

Opinion: There is no two without three, so after having the 1d Mark IV and the 1DX I wanted and wanted to fill the few important gaps of the 1DX with the 1DX Mark II. What can I say, finally the live view is no longer a problem, faster and more reliable in focusing. I have the other merits in summary already listed among the pros and many have already been illustrated by those who preceded me. Granite body, as only the 1 series can be, reliable and ergonomic. Conscious choice in 2024 of what I wanted, it has everything you need to take good photos. I also own an R6, a particularly versatile ML camera but which does not make me feel as comfortable as this reflex can do. Maybe in the near future, when the price will become more affordable for amateur photographers, I could opt for the purchase of the latest queen of Canon's flagship reflex cameras and appreciate its further developments compared to this Mark II. On the video side not tested either, as he is not interested in videos. Very satisfied with the purchase, even if the missing kidney is felt.

Pros: It has everything a professional photographer needs

Cons: The two types of cf cards are not a great choice

Opinion: Well yes I am a person who goes against the tide, in 2024 you buy a reflex instead of a mirrorless. I have a 5d mark IV that will go as a second body. And the resold 5d mark III. Proud of the choice. Ever since I started working with photography I have always wanted this camera. Do I regret that it is a reflex? NO. Do I regret the modernity of mirrorless focus cars? No. It has everything I need for my work and that is: iso tightness not comparable to the rest, batteries that last an entire event without taking 20 with me, fast and precise autofocus, it does not focus the eye?!?! And who cares, I'm the one who has to focus on what I consider important. Honestly, the only drawback are the memory cards. A normal CF and a fast2.0 CF are not. It would have been better either two CF or two CFFfast2.0. I don't understand canon's choice but it's okay anyway. I'm satisfied. In the cf I put the photos in the cf fast2.0 the videos in 4k. Is it big?! Yes but in my hands it is normal and holds very well, it weighs a little more than normal but honestly it doesn't matter at least I put the years of gym to good use. It has it all. And it is for professionals therefore designed for work. Happy and satisfied.
