The 1D X Mark II is a camera that anyone with previous 1D series experience can probably pick up, dial in their favorite settings, and start shooting right away - though as we'll see on the following pages, in doing so one might overlook advancements that Canon has made in this newest edition. 4K/60p video in DCI format (4096 x 2160 pixels) using Motion JPEG.61-point AF system with 41 cross-type sensors and 24% more coverage.200+ shot buffer with Raw+JPEG (CFast 2.0).14 fps continuous shooting (16 fps in live view).New 20.2MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel autofocus.Predictably, it’s also built like a brick and performs like a Formula 1 race car. The 1D X II is built around a new 20.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, now with Canon’s Dual Pixel autofocus system, includes an expanded 61-point autofocus system with 24% more coverage and a 360,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor, and is one of the first Canon DSLRs (other than the somewhat niche 1D C) that captures 4K video.


A quick glance reveals the camera’s 1D-series heritage, but under the hood there are some exciting upgrades going on. The EOS-1D X Mark II is Canon’s newest flagship DSLR aimed at pro-level photographers.
