Description

The Canon 1D X Mark II represents the current pinnacle of Canon DSLR technology, aimed squarely at advanced and professional photographers, with no room for compromise. Featuring a high-resolution 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, the Canon 1D X Mark II is the ultimate DSLR camera for capturing a superb level of detail in a wide variety of scenarios. Fully weather sealed with a solid magnesium alloy frame and high-capacity battery rated up to 1210 shots, the 1D X Mark II is often a camera of choice for professional press and sports photographers

Photographing fast-moving subjects is in the DNA of the Canon 1D X Mark II as it features an advanced 61-point (21 cross-type at f8) Dual Pixel AF system, providing highly accurate and fast focusing. The camera’s advanced AF can also focus in conditions as dark as -3EV, equivalent to moonlight. Harnessing the power of dual Canon DIGIC 6+ processors, the 1D X Mark II is capable of capturing full resolution images at a rapid 14fps during continuous burst mode shooting for up to 170 frames in RAW or “unlimited” JPEGs. Canon’s advanced 360,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor can detect flickering lights at 100-120 Hz and analyses 216-zones with intelligent algorithms enabling the 1D X Mark II to deliver consistent exposures in even the most challenging of lighting scenarios.

The combination of dual DIGIC 6+ processors, advanced 20.2-megapixel sensor and 61-point Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables the Canon 1D X Mark II to lock onto and track subjects across the frame effortlessly.

The Canon 1D X Mark II features a solid, weather-sealed design, with a solid grip, with vertical shooting functionality and customisable controls, making it a popular choice amongst professional photographers who work in a variety of challenging environments. For photographers who travel, location-based geotagging can be enabled in the 1D X Mark II via built-in GPS. Photographers who work in media room environments will benefit from the camera’s industry-standard USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, as well as compatibility with the Canon WFT-E8 or WFT-E6 wireless adapters for remote capture and image transfer via a laptop or smart device.

Additionally, the camera has dual card slots, offering CompactFlash Type I and CFast 2.0 card compatibility, giving photographers the chance to extend storage capacity or automatically create a backup of their images.
