Pros: Autofocus speed, dynamic range, burst, screen

Cons: Weight, price

Opinion: I've owned it for three years now. Machine suitable for everything, autofocus speed at the top, a bit bulky and heavy but when you have in your hand a 300mm or a 500mm it's convenient to have a big body in your hand. The screen then in my opinion is a span above the 5D or 6D series. I find it useless, at least for me, the gps to which I would have clearly preferred wifi.

Pros: It's a 1D series. Everything has been designed and designed for absolute perfection!

Cons: I haven't found any yet.

Opinion: Having used the 1DX since 2013, today with the updated version, I am faced with a body that is completely familiar to me and fits perfectly with my type of work. Everything looks the same, but in reality the improvements are remarkable. I'm not going to sit here and list them all. I'm just saying that CANON technicians and engineers have done an outstanding job listening to hundreds of professionals around the world and adapting this efficiency monster to every single photographer who can take advantage of it. I read that someone complains about the weight or the video features; I don't agree with them at all. This is a machine designed for people who want it that way! Weight is a positive and essential feature because every milligram of this device has a very important purpose and mission. Anyone who uses it for the purpose it is intended for, would never work with something tiny and impalpable, much less complain about video features just below the best competition (as long as it is, I don't use it for videos). For the video industry, there are specially designed devices that fall into your hand better than a DSLR does. This tank packed with the best technology in existence was born and designed to be an immortal machine gun and that never jams! The rest are speeches from photo clubs frequented by kids all chatter and badge (cit.)

Pros: Series 1, reactivity AF, AF to f/8 on all points, RED AF POINT, IQ, high ISO hold, top tropicalization, commands, 4K to 60fps, FullHD at 120fps, GPS, size and weight, etc. etc.

Cons: I would have preferred a double Cfast 2.0 slot

Opinion: Of the series 1 I had the 1D Mark III and then the 1DX (both fabulous), and now waiting for the release of the 1DX Mark III, I wanted to take this 1DX II... Na beast! I had to think again that it was a slight upgrade of the 1DX, the changes are there, among many things it is much more responsive, the AF of the latest generation and finally the point of RED AF (configurable in two lighting intensity), in Under the 5D Mark III and 5D Mark IV, I was having to try to figure out where the AF's point was, no more. The files are much more workable, and allow greater recoveries of the shadow areas. The HIGH ISO estate is superior to the fantastic 5D Mark IV. The 20mp are for my needs more than enough, I do not make exaggerated crop, I always prefer to compose the frame well according to my needs, then if you need a few megapixels more use the 5D Mark IV. The only flaw in my opinion, is the use of two CF and Cfast 2.0 formats, I would have preferred to have both slots with Cfast 2.0 (-5) Conclusion, I was very pleased with this 1DX Mark II (9.5)

Pros: It is and does to everything I expected.

Cons: Knowing what I was buying, nothing.

Opinion: Purchased to flank the 5D4 and 5DsR for cars/bikes. Fantastic ergonomics, well balanced even with the 100-400 L II and the 500 L II that I often use freehand, feeling robust, responsive and burst modular, even the af is modular and better (but not much) than the af of mine 5. The file is easily workable, if I really have to make a note sometimes I miss the 30mpx of the 5D4. In my case its use is confined to only use "on the track", preferring for obvious reasons one of the 5 without battery grip for other things. I don't make videos, so I can't write anything about it. I took advantage of an opportunity to purchase, well-maintained machine and with a few shots. After a "season" of intense use, very but very happy.

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.

Pros: Af spectacular even with 500 is II and 2X III: speed and accuracy are impressive even hundreds of meters away from the subject. File well usable even at 3200 ISO: it is easy to reduce the noise without sacrificing the detail. Price quality ratio significantly better than 5div, plasticosa and buffer and rather embarrassing burst in the action picture. Maybe I will say 'something obvious, but IQ and latitude of laying the file are notable compared to the 7d2 that I have used so far. Buffer with cfast absolutely satisfying in the action picture: more than 10 consecutive seconds of 14 raw per second without stopping.

Cons: I would have expected a cleaner file above 1600 ISO. In theory the weight. Actually, I found it better to wield the 500 with the duplicators with the 1dx II compared to the 7dii. Burst of 14 ft / s very noisy and usually canon exposureometer not very reliable in photography of birds in flight.

Opinion: After 15 years return to series 1. Accuracy of af and readiness not comparable with 7dii: just touch the key of maf and shoot: from the first frame you immediately get a shot in focus. So far I have used all the sensors, noting the almost absolute precision even of the outer sides. Exposure meter more usable of the 7 series but still unsatisfactory in naturalistic: one is forced to make continuous adjustments of the automatic exposure. As mentioned in the pros, the use of the 500 is II with 2XIII does not greatly reduce the speed and accuracy of AF: in particular the accuracy af small subjects at great distances is really amazing. Even in backlight the af has no indecisions and is more 'accurate than 7dii.rnTime of response in the action picture surprising and fully satisfactory. Discreet battery life even with the machine always on. Good with automatic shutdown: re-ignition is much faster than 7dii. I did not find the intuitive controls as you read around. I noticed a% 3B excellent quality and workability of the raw file: a good step forward compared to the 7dii even if the color balance is very similar. Shadows opening at least double compared to 7dii. As QI you gain at least two diaphragms of really usable sensitivity, working accurately on the noise you can easily get to 4. In an absolute sense I would rate 9: a few more mega would have been useful. In the Canon world for action photos vote 10.

Pros: Possibility of using even the side with the 2.0X extender, autofocus speed with the same much more prompt and accurate than 1d MKIV where I come from, very accurate meter reading, held at high ISO (up a12800 used) very good with fine-grained .

Cons: For "my" personal use would have preferred 2-3 frames per second less with a denser sensor MP 26-28

Opinion: A machine with flawless construction, with a DR good (at least for us as we used canonists): Now the shadows recovery is as good as the rest of the workability at high ISO. For those who practice or birds in general, photos of animals in uncontrolled situations, lacking a bit 'resolution which, surely, will be introduced in the next (6.5 MP more)

Pros: white balance, AF video department, AF red, photo-video switch lever, CFast cards, low-end price, the MAF area

Cons: Lack crop factor

Opinion: I possess a month about this beautiful camera and I wanted to wait to use it well before making judgments affrettati.rnPartiamo from the price; truly exceptional when you consider that together with the camera are given away a player and a CFast CFast Card 64GB, the final price is significantly decreased by about 500 Euros than the first 1Dx versione.rnPoi there are technical aspects and describe them in order as put WHITE sopra.rnBILANCIAMENTO; besides being improved the balances in generating them, Canon has included an automatic balancing function that is called PRIORITY 'FOR WHITE ... unbelievable how under any yellow light this function returns the whites from real still life ... I had two weddings in the closet type room with two incandescent bulbs and the white dress of the bride was wHITE without dominante.rnAF DEPARTMENT VIDEO; beyond the obvious quality of 4K images, but these require cards MINIMUM 128 GB for a few minutes of recovery and then the next costs 500 euro, the thing that makes apprezzare is the AF system truly effective and widely customizable as in the photo department. Interesting the possibility of moving the point Af is the joystick that with a touch of the finger on the touch screen display during shooting and to adjust the speed of movement of fire from one point to another. Before the 1Dx was a video camera for only static images, now it is really two products in one, and I'm using it very much both at the racetrack for the classic video to my children. Can shoot movies with optical f / 1.2 at full aperture without having to play on depth of field in order to have a decent fire is magic pura.rnPUNTI AF ROSSI; It looks like nonsense to those who have never tried the first version 1Dx or 5D3 or 7D series but blacks AF points were really absurd in situations of dark scenes or subjects still blacks or dark. In a marriage is really important moments lose not seeing the active AF point and having to spend time to do it flashing a moment with the joystick ..... now the points are red and you can clearly see anywhere without infastidire.rnLEVA SWITCH; finally anche appeared on the flagship that blessed linkage that allows you to instantly switch from one camera to video mode ... first with 1Dx you had to first set the menu and assign the Livewiev button the desired function ... now it's like to have two buttons. .. one for photos and one for video.rnSCHEDE CFAST; fast, fast .... formatting in 1/10 time than the best commercially CF .... much safer when they occur and without any chance to break or bend any pins as CF ..... still cost a lot but are appreciated by subito.rnAREA MAF; read the features on the site canon that 15% of increased area seemed nonsense no tangible ... instead with eye in the viewfinder the area on which are distributed the 61 AF points appear much wider and pushed beyond the segments of the classic rule third .... all this facilitates possible or not need to redial after the MAF and even the eventual tracking of moving subjects. The difference is there are notevole.rnrnrnPoior all other aspects that other users have already praised but I count now much more accurate scontate.rnAf, Stronger file, 2 mpx more than upset ... but you notice many improvements but that does not make any adequate transition from mk1 mk2 according to me .... the 1Dx was already a great favola.rnrnPiccola note of praise about two factors; post production room and computer.rnI really reveal extremes in processing files, in the light and shadow recovery by returning images to the border with HDR.rnElaborazione of sharpness factors in truly amazing room to have the JPG files ready for use of a quality never vista.rnrn

Pros: Autofocus, burst, exposure

Cons: Number of shots without slowing less than the declared

Opinion: I used the machine for the first time, completely, in my recent trip to Finland. I possessed the "old" 1Dx and I must say that the breakthrough is significant. The more frames per second help, but is the buffer that has changed, allowing to be able to take more, or to commence a few tenths of a second before. The calibration of the cases (1-6) is important and allows to exploit all the potential autofocus or, otherwise, to err a photograph, also in a remarkable way. We need to try different subjects with different movements, trying to rebuild a real case studies and own (this is my personal experience). The new Dx, unlike the previous one, captures the subject more easily and holds it in focus for a more prolonged period of time. Its sensitivity is much higher in the case of low light conditions. RNLA quality of frames is virtually identical to that of the 5D mark ii,while with the previous noticeable a difference in terms qualitativi.rnL'esposimetro is much more reliable and accurate. I happened previously, several times, which were read incorrectly high luci.rnrnUnico neo (from the declared) is the actual number of usable shots. The house writes "170" in raw. Very true, but not at 14 fps. Exact speed varies depending on the weight of the frame and the af mode used. In any case we are talking of embarrassing numbers in normal utilizzo.rn

Pros: operating speed, extended buffer, and AF sensor quality (dynamic range)

Cons: None of relief. I would have preferred the adoption of the double CFast slot.

Opinion: I have the 1DX II by the end of April (it was one of the first to be delivered) and I joined the 1DX. So, my opinion is related to both the 1DXII as such, which in comparison to the previous 1DX.rnSostanzialmente, as was to be expected, the 1DXII has improved across the already complete and reliable 1DX. In some aspects of the improvements are marginal (+2 megapixels, noise at high ISO), in other substantive (dynamic range, AF, operating speed, video industry, Metering) .rnAF the AF system, while maintaining the previous 61 points, definitely improved. I am not referring only to all the hot spots even with optical f8 (substantially optical with multipliers), but in the ability to operate in low light conditions and the subject tracking system moving quickly. Returning to optical multiplied the use of 2X performance to remember the use of 1.4x with 1DX: fast to keep up with the subject even where the 1DX continues to make forward-indietro.rnVELOCITA ': It took 4 Series 1 (1DIII , 1DIV, and 1DX 1DXII) but finally the buffer (thanks to the CFast memory) is adequate to burst 14 fps (+2 compared to 1DX) and 16 fps with AF locked (+ 2 on 1DX). Prolonged bursts of more than 15 seconds have no hesitation or slowdowns. Even when the buffer is full in a few seconds you free. I dared to abandoning altogether CFlash.rnESPOSIMETRO: The exposure is even more precise and reliable. I report in this section that the white balance is also consistent with artificiali.rnVIDEO light sources: Almost a revolution than the 1DX for both the frame rate for the 4K format (from which you can extract frames in jpeg). Using just the video function and I have not done accurati.rnrnDopo test all these compliments to the question: is it worth changing the 1DX with 1DX II the answer is .... it depends! If you exploit the capabilities of 1DXII (with particular reference to the FPS speed AF for moving subjects, video, etc ...) the answer is decisamente SI. In certain situations the difference, at least perceived, is remarkable. If you prefer the landscapes and portraits, though gusts to prolonged 14fps not interest you .... you'll have to evaluate your choice more carefully (if the expenditure is an investment for you .... if it is not a problem, take the no 1DXII think about it) .rnrnNon quote more usual discussion: weight and size. We are talking about a number 1 and as such built to last, with BG integrated, capacious battery, large and ergonomic controls the rear sticks are larger and improved grip) .rnrnUltimo: 1DX II vs D5. Only the 1Dx II and D5 are comparable. All other products are missing out on a comparative who sees these two excel templates to speed and robustness. I have not tried the D5. My feeling, to'm ready to change my mind, is that these are two such comprehensive and high-performance reflex not to be the element of choice between Canon and Nikon. Choose safely such as optical, flash system, assistance, etc .... prefer and therefore will come & agravis; the choice between 1DXII and D5.

Pros: Everything, ergonomics, quality files, always infallible AF, exposure that is close to perfection, held in high ISO, etc. etc.

Cons: For now nothing. Maybe the weight !!

Opinion: I've had it a few days and has already become inseparable for me, I just wish the Sigma 35 / 1.4 Art has some compatibility issue and in jpeg comes out an artificial effect of concentric circles, visible in Live View and scattate.rnOvviamente in photographs in RAW is okay, but it's something annoying, I updated the firmware but nothing has changed and contacting MTrading, do not know much because they asked me the files with the defect to turn to Sigma ... : (rnSmanettando a while I found that disabling the "lens peripheral illumination correction" from the 1DX MKII menu, the fault disappears. But it is obvious that by doing so you lose a lot in terms of operations because you have to create a custom setting and make a switch each time you use the Sigma 35 Art instead of the originals Canon.rnAltra incompatibility I found with the excellent Tamron 70-200 / 2.8 VC, with whom underexpose in delusionsra evident and it does not work the LiveView! But it seems to be a problem already known to Tamron and should have already corrected with the last update. Firmware ...
