Anyone shopping for a Canon 1D X Mark II this year? ;)
What do you think about a mark 1 in 2018?
@@jacen3716 Hi Jace. I think the mark 1 is dated for 2018. As it came out in 2012, technology has gotten so much better those years AND the price has dropped as well on other models. Check out the Canon 5d mark iv as an alternative: amzn.to/2PasfJK
I got a 1DX mk1 (for stills) in 2018, and I'm loving it.. super camera, so awesome! Now for videos, is kind dated like he said above..
@@PaulHeimlund For action photography and wildlife, I heard the 1dx is great because of the high speed. I'm not sure though. What's your opinion? (I'm getting the mk1 because I can get it for 2k used instead of 4k for the mk2)
Jace N If you're going to use it for action still photography, the 1DX mk1 is definitely a great camera. But just like @hemidesign says, the video quality is below par in 2018/19. IMHO 2k is a lot of money to spend on "older" technology, like the 1dx mk1. It is still very powerful in burst mode (12FPS) though.I guess it comes down to your specific needs and if the 12FPS is essential for your work, or if eg 7-10 FPS is enough.Check out this article where they compare the 1DX with the 5D mk iv: www.imaging-resource.com/cameras/canon/1dx/vs/canon/5d-mark-iv/
Happy reading!😉
Nice review I love my 1DX Mark ll with my 600mm f4 si l, it heavy as hell but it’s an awesome set up for motorsports.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate it.
My pleasure and thanks for the comment. I appreciate that 😊
Why do you have so few subscribers? Your content is great.
Awesome video man. love the creativity, Sub!
Thanks, Angel! More videos coming soon! ;)
Amazing video, after effects are on point! I love it. Very great opinion on the Canon 1DX II, it helps me choose!
Hey Paul and thanks! Glad you found the video helpful! 😃
Best 1 DX Mark ii review , AWESOME content!!
I just purchased this camera last week as well!
Great! I'm sure you are going to love it!
isn't it the best camera ever :) i love mine .. welcome to the idx family
Nice video man! I'm in the same boat. How do you like it for photos?
Thanks, man! I love it for photos as well! Great for all kind of pictures, but just AMAZING when it comes to sports and wildlife, as the shutter is SOOOOOO fast! ;-)
Is a 1DxM2 a good deal if it has 24000 release cycles, 2 batteries, and 2 CFast cards (32/64) for $4500? Just need your advice. Tnx !!
Hi again Josek! Check my answer to your question on my video regarding "Video Quality".
Thanks!
Very good video. Thanks.
Thanks a lot, Erwan! 😃😁😃
Future TH-cam star in the making! Awesome content
Wow! Thank you for those inspiring words, Hassan!😊
This was so fun to watch
Glad you liked it :)
Great video
Have you checked out the Fuji X-T3? I agree with all your points and I really want a 1dx mkii but the X-T3 has realllly intriguing specs, almost similar to the canon and at a much more affordable price. Wondering what your thoughts are on it. I’ve always loved Canon, and am slightly concerned about jumping ship especially because of the lenses and peripherals I’d need to shoot (mostly video, some photo) will add up and probably make me want to stay with whatever brand I’m with. But from what I’ve seen the X-T3 is a beast and very competitive- dual card slots, high bitrate, great colors, cheaper, great glass. What do you think?
Hey Jason! Great question. Although I haven't actually used the Fujifilm X-T3, the specs are very promising, especially for that price. From what I've seen the colors are amazing as well. However, the 1D X Mark ii have considerably higher bitrate, so you will have more data in each frame. But is it worth paying 4x more for it? If budget is not your main issue and you already know you have paid jobs lined up I'd go for the 1DX, especially if you already have Canon lenses. But it is expensive...
If you're starting out and do not have loads of paid projects coming up, I'd consider the Fuji.
Hope this help ;)
Have a nice one!
Hey, i wanted to know whats the best camera in mirrorless (full frame ) for beginners ..
Hey! It all depends on your budget. Sony has some interesting options.
Check out the Sony A7: amzn.to/2ShfyQ2
Or the Sony A7 II: amzn.to/2BxEDyQ
Happy camera hunting! 😀
I think there is c log firmware update available
Got the 1DX MKll a year ago, one of the best decision ever.
One of my best decisions as well!😁
yup!! i can never go back to anything different - even my sony ar7iii friends images don't look as good as the idx
@@rubengarciajr Same feeling, man! The image is just stunning!!
I have $10k saved to get 2 high end Canon cameras.. but I'll wait for the new Canon mk3 (or something similar), looks like the new ones will be arriving around 2019 or 2020..
I was in a similar situation and was considering waiting for a mk 3. However, it is speculated that a possible 1DX mk3 won't arrive until summer 2020, when Tokyo is hosting the summer olympics. I couldn't wait that long, so got the mk2 and I'm veeeery happy with it!
It would have been amazing if Canon gave us LOG upgrade to the 1dxii for Christmas this year but oh well. I'll stick with my James Miller Log profiles they grade really well and I think is on par with CLog. I posted this in a few other videos but I'll say it again, I am fully happy with my 1dxii upgrade in 2018. I upgraded from a 5Diii and I couldn't be happier. I am a still shooter at heart however I want to get more into video for personal use and some small video projects and paid work so for me the 1dxii made the most sense. The fact that it has so much capability still today is remarkable. Yet it has some downsides like the files are HUGE but really only in 4k 60p. But like you mentioned it's because of the 800mbps is just INSANE but makes for such a smooth and detailed image it's unreal. Even at 1080 120p it's something like 360mbps which is over double of the sony or fuji currently I'm almost certain. You just get WAY more information and well that's to me why the files are monstrous.
For me too it's just ease of use. I can just literally flick a switch from photo and be shooting 4k 60p and then I have a button set up "fn" and then be shooting 1080p 120fps and my settings are all good, then back to photo or live view photo and back to video so simple. The ruggedness is outstanding too and I have no doubts I could go anywhere with this and it will not fail me.
And the AF for me is just where it's a beast. I mean it's so simple and accurate it just works.
Last, yeah I was in the same boat too. I was like ehhhh I'm sure we will see a replacement around this time next year 2019 and then it will be on sale either before Christmas or even Jan 2020 for Olympics however it's going to be the normal 6500-7000$ and will probably be sold out for some time. Sure it might have some improvements but that is all unknown at this time.
If I were to be buying on I would do it now, you can get a nice used one or "refurbished" on on KEH or MPB or even Canon with a 1 year warranty for a pretty good deal. I traded my 5D in and only really paid 2300$ out of pocket for mine with only 8k shutter clicks. There is always a nice used 1Dc too if you want that LOG and still 4k just not so much AF and slow Motion but could be had for about 2300-3000$ BUt to me the extra 1000$ is worth it for the 1DXii
Thanks for your input and great tips, Joshua! And totally agree in basically everything you're saying. I'd trade in many Christmas presents for a LOG upgrade for the 1dxii😂
Will check out the James Miller Log profiles, sounds interesting. Cheers!
@@PaulHeimlund Yeah they are only 15$ or something usually on sale since it's been out forever now but it's been specifically designed around the 1dxii and other canon cameras that don't have LOG. You get 3 versions of LOG settings to add to your camera and fill the three empty slots. They grade pretty nicely
Angle bird makes some good c-fast cards and they do go up to 512g they are like $600 but that’s not bad especially if you know how well the company is and how you can’t find that price anywhere else and capacity like 512g you can buy multiple bundles
Thanks for the tip, Anthony! Seems like a great alternative to the Transcend cards I use.
I am using the 'ProGrade' CFast cards and they are quite affordable and superb quality.
Good to know! Thanks for the tip!
What color science you talking about my friend? put 1DX2 vs Sony A7iii and use a GREY card to get correct WB. Now compare the two? same settings please!
Lets be honest regardless of what year you buy it it's better than an 80D so it's always going to be a worthy upgrade!
Great work! You're funny! :D
Thanks, Eric! Appreciate the feedback ☺️
Well done ,sub👍
I have 1Dx Mark ii , when record 120 sometimes i drop quality I feel like it’s not sharp enough , I just wanna know it is my camera or 1Dx Mkii is like that
Please let me know
Thank you
It might be the bitrate you notice is lower and makes the image not that sharp. In 4K the Mbps is 800, while 120fps is "only" 360 Mbps.
I hope this clarifies your doubts...
thankyou that was really helpful.
120 fps produces a softer, more compressed image. Totally normal.
7a.Graphy Could be ur color profile and lens. I use sigma art 1.4 lenses on neutral then color grade it later on. I own a6500 and have rented a7iii, and this 1dxii has sharper and smoother 120fps than those sonys
Ben Cruz maybe it’s my settings or Lens as you said, I use canon lens 24-70 2.8 without image stabilizer
The picture quality on Sony bodies on Jason Lanier channel are eye popping😀
Hey Dan! They sure are. However, I prefer the Canon image when it comes to video. I shot with Sony for a couple of years and found the image to be too contrasty and I preferred the colors on Canon. Don't get me wrong, Sony's have great cameras! 😉
Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend!
Amazing video, my friend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, Jordi!
Hey there! I'm a one man band when it comes to producing videos. I've filmed over 50 Video in 2018. Shooting on a Sonya6300-the 4k is superb. I'm looking forward to buy a Canon 1dx ii in the end of 2019-what lens set do you prefer? Recommend on a budget pls...
Hey Ruben! I also used the Sony a6300 before I upgraded to the 1DX mk ii. You can look forward to the upgrade!
As Canon lenses are very expensive I decided to try out Tamron. I made a video about the new 24-70mm f2.8, which has really impressed me! The Tamron lenses I recommend are all stabilized and have autofocus. I f you want a cheaper alternative I would check out Samyang (also known as Rokinon). These lenses are all manual focus, but produce a fantastic image quality. I just purchased a 14mm from them, which I need for a specific job coming up. I haven't tried it yet, but the general feedback has been positive. Will make a video about it soon!
Happy lens hunting!
Tamron 24-70mm f2.8: amzn.to/2rPq3yc
Tamron 15-30mm f2.8: amzn.to/2Ri0h3U
Tamron 70-200 f2.8: amzn.to/2RbpqgR
Samyang 14mm f2.8: amzn.to/2LCnYyZ
Thanks for the answer!!! I'm mostly doing music videos and Weddings using a Ronin s. I kinda need a autofocus for run and gun shooting. Again...great Video, love your Vibe going on there! Keep going.@@PaulHeimlund
Studio Heimlund im also looking on tamron g2 lenses but the general consensus on online forums is that it hunts a lot, especially in low light. I use sigma art lenses on my 1dxii and find it hunts a lot in low light so i have to frequently tap the focus in screen to keep up, but not so much with native L lenses.
@@qtben17 Thanks for your input, Ben! I guess the auto focus will never be perfect and I have had some hunting too. However, not more than I expected. I try not to shoot in low light conditions, but I can imagine a native L lens could perform better. Keep in mind the L lenses are more expensive, so I would expect a better result. Cheers!
It's now 2023, and they are coming down in price second hand, and soon even I can get one, hopefully 😊
If you shoot 4K, it crops the sensor to 1.3 so it doesn't give you the full frame look. Still better than S35!
You’re absolutely right regarding the 1.3 4K crop, and yes, much better than S35! ;)
can the 4k quality be compared to the gh5 or a7iii?
bridgeboyMUSIC Hey! Not really. The GH5 has a micro 4/3 sensor, not full frame. Furthermore the Mbps (data information) on the GH5 is only 150Mbps in 50/60fps, compared to 800Mbps on the 1DX mk II (GH5 reaches 400Mbps in 24/25/30fps). Although the Sony a7iii is full frame, it maxes out at 100Mbps.To sum it up: the Canon 1DX Mark II has MUCH more information in each frame, so the image quality will be better. That is also one of the reasons why the Canon is a much more expensive camera.😉
I have a C200 but part of me wants to just downgrade because I feel like I have too much camera and thought about getting this camera instead, but I’ve heard the 1080p is absolute garbage. Is that true?
@@alexmatthew375 Tough choice. I was looking into the c200 as well, but was surprised of the low Mbps in 4k, which is only 150 vs 800 on the 1dx mark ii.
The Mbps on the 1dx mk ii in HD is 180 in 60p and only 90 in 30/24p. I do see a quite big image quality drop between HD and 4k, so I shoot everything in 4k and then downscale to HD. This way the HD video delivered to the client is super crisp and looks fantastic overall.
Some of the pros with your c200 is the Cinema RAW Light codec, clog and built in ND filters. But as you say, it might be too much camera...
Hope this helps and Happy new year!
Resale value for dslr cameras are so low now, so if you have tha buget, mirrorless is a better option to buy so that in the next 2 or 3 years you can still sell it for a great value.
What do you think of the 1DX II vs the C200?
I use a C200 as an A camera and a 1DX MkII as a B camera. The C200 (shooting RAW) is a much better camera (love the built in ND filters especially), with better dynamic range and much more flexibility in post. Ideally, I would shoot with two of them.
That said, using the same lenses, if I expose the shot correctly on the 1DX, then it is difficult to tell the difference between them once they are colour corrected and graded. The 1DX holds its own in everything but the toughest lighting conditions, where the C200 will always win.
The biggest difference really is their usability. The C200 is faster to set up and work with. It retains its settings if you have to power off and on. You can run it on mains power, you can easily mount accessories like mics, comes with an external monitor, has XLR inputs etc, etc. It's a professional video camera and its really good at doing that.
The 1DX is a cracking still camera (which I shoot a lot of) that also happens to be able to do very high quality video as well. I love them both, because they are the right tools for the various jobs I do.
So the question is: what's the job you are trying to do?
Hi Marc, I love the specs of the C200, especially the codec Cinema RAW Light. XLR inputs are also a great feature, as you can connect pro mics directly to the camera. If you ONLY shoot videos I would go for the C200, but if you also need to take pictures I'd go for the 1DX mk ii. That's what I "had to" do.
Cheers!
Put out more content, great production!
Thanks, Zoran! New videos coming soon! ;)
I picked one up a few months ago to shoot my son's sports photos and I love it!!!
Great! I'm sure the photos are legendary! Have you tried filming your son's sports in 120fps? You'd probably get some dope video shots as well😉
Actually yes, I did get some dope rugby video with the 150-600 so can't wait to try it with this one!!
I want one so bad. I have two Sony A6500, and a mark IV
Hey Eddie! Wow, you got a nice camera collection! I still have my A6300, but had to upgrade. The 1D X mark ii is soooo much better that it has actually made it possible to charge more for jobs(!) However, your cameras are dope and I’m sure you can achieve fantastic results. The mark iv is a beast when it comes to photography, but the video specs...
The Canon 1D X mark ii changed my career, though. It’s in a different league.
Let me know if you get a 1D X mark ii ;)
3) should have been : enthusiasts with too much money. 🤣
True!😂😂🤣
5d mk 4 has log and is newer.
Hey! The 5d mk 4 is newer, but cannot compare to the 1D X Mark ii when it comes to video specs. It's got a lower bitrate in 4K (500 compared to 800), has a bigger crop factor (1.74 vs 1.3) and does not shoot slow motion in 120fps in HD, only 720p which is pretty pointless these days.
Now, that doesn't mean it's a bad camera. It can actually produce better still images, as it's got a bigger sensor. As long as you learn the limits of your camera, I'm pretty sure you can achieve great results.
Thanks for the input and have great week!
I think when people are ready to spend 6K on a top pro model camera they don't need an advice.
Having money doesn’t equal knowledge. Thanks for the input, though ;)
yup, that's why i got one :)
Maybe if it was like... the same price as the a7iii I would get it, and if it had Clog
Hey Michael! Although the a7iii have great specs, the 1dx mark ii is in a different league. E.g. 14fps vs 10fps continuous mode, 4k vs UHD video resolution, and the reason why I went for the 1dx mark ii the Mbps in 4K video: 800Mbps vs 100Mbps. You have soooo much more information in each frame, which makes it much easier to color grade and the picture is sharper. So, these things (and others) make the 1dx mark ii more expensive.
Thanks for your input and happy new year!
But 1dx Mark II 4K is actually crop.
Yeah, you’re right. There’s a 1.3 crop factor in 4k. Should have stated that in the video ;)
Full frame crop down in 4K put me right off! GH5 better quality anyway!!
Yeah, it sure is a bummer. Glad you’re happy with the GH5!
Happy new year, Stuart!🥂
