Meet the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

Canon's EOS 1D X line of pro-spec DSLRs first appeared on our shelves way back in 2012. Aimed squarely at the professional photographer, this new flagship camera took the incredible resolution of the EOS 1D series and the blistering speed of the EOS 1Ds line - and combined them into one powerhouse of a DSLR that stopped professionals in their tracks.

Sports pros, action shooters, studio-bound 'togs and those who work on location all flocked to Canon's DSLR - and we're expecting today's arrival to receive much the same reaction from Canon fans.

Unlike several manufacturers, Canon famously designs and builds its very own sensors to guarantee quality - and the 20.2 MP CMOS sensor found at the heart of this beast of a camera is no exception.

Offering Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus and a high dynamic range, the pictures created by the EOS-1D X Mark II promise to be world-class as you'd expect from the leading camera in Canon's lineup.

X-treme speed

16 FPS continuous shooting will enable professionals to freeze precise moments in images, especially when capturing action scenes on camera. The EOS-1D X Mark II also allows those more video-minded to record 4K movies and, crucially, to lift 8.8MP still images out of a 4K video scene.

This could prove invaluable when recording an un-repeatable moment as you wouldn't have to worry about choosing between stills or video - you could simply capture both.

Sharpness is particularly key when working with subjects on the move: the EOS-1D X Mark II's 61 autofocus points plus innovative autofocus technology will react to both camera and subject movement, ensuring your shots will always be pin-sharp and that changing focus during video footage will be smooth.

X-ceptional performance

Professionals need to be able to rely on their kit in all sorts of situations, so the 1DX line is famously built to perform. All-metal construction, plus a dustproof and splash-proof body, means you'll be able to stay out shooting when lesser DSLRs have had to retreat back indoors.
