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.

Professional video recording
The video capabilities of the 1D X Mark II make it one of the best DSLR cameras for video recording. It can record video in detailed the DCI 4K standard resolution at variable frame rates up to 60fps, suitable for capturing vivid fast action. It can also record Full HD at 120fps for show-stopping slow motion video. An additional benefit of having 4K video is that it is also possible to capture 8.8-megapixel stills from recorded 4K-video footage in camera.

The 1D X Mark II features a capacitive touchscreen for use during live view shooting and video recording for tap-to-focus AF point selection, as well as focus magnification. Focus tracking sensitivity can be adjusted when recording video to allow for smooth automatic focus pulling between subjects.
