My thoughts on Canon 1DX Mark II, why it's best Professional Camera

- Canon EOS 1DX is a beast of a camera and at a price tag of $6000 it has to deliver some serious value.

The flagship Canon DSLR does offer some incredible features like 4k recording capabilities, at 60fps and full HD videos at 120fps.
The updated 20-megapixel full-frame sensor in the 1D X II is more than just a standard CMOS chip with a higher resolution; it's the first full-frame sensor with Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF with its on-chip phase-detect autofocus sensors not only helps for super-quick autofocusing for Live View still image shooting, but also for quick, accurate and smooth AF operation for videos.

Professionals use the 1DX because it doesn't fail. I have watched guys using this camera at golf tournaments in all kinds of weather including in the pouring rain. They scramble around to different positions and take thousands of shots in a day, yep thousands. The camera can focus like nobody's business. The camera sounds like a machine going off. These guys need a camera that can perform so that they get paid. It's that simple. This camera is designed for heavy load work and to capture high speed action and special moments. That is what you pay for.
The Canon 1DX Mark II is my workhorse now for all Wildlife work. What a stunning camera, even in 2019. Together with my Canon 600mm 4.0 III this camera really delivers, what a combo. I would say this is one of the best cameras ever made by Canon. Still worth to get one in 2019!
P does not mean "Professional" it stands for "Program". This is a superb camera imo. Even when and if a mark 3 comes out,I would rather have another 1DX Mark 2 body. Mainly because I know that it is tried and true, and will deliver awesome results.
I shot two days of youth Futsal this weekend with my new to me 1DX ii, and the camera was incredible. Focus was insanely fast and accurate, the jpgs with low high iso noise reduction selected, were perfectly usable at iso 12800. There were instances where it refused to focus, or jumped onto a person in the background, and it cost me a handful of great shots but overall it was overwhelmingly brilliant. In 2022, is it still relevant? Silly question, the camera didn’t stop being brilliant just because the 1DX mkiii and R3 now exist. 😁
I received my 1dx mk ii yesterday and i freakin love it!!!
Thank you soooooo much for this video! Finally, I understand the 1D better!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for this info. Really helpful
1dx mii is my workhorse today with the 5d iv as my second body,with my 5Dsr for studio ,architecture and landscapes.
While dynamic range isn't quite as good as some other full frame models that aren't capable of the performance of this pro dslr, the Canon 1dx mii never the less offers leading- class dynamic range, with very significant improvements over its predecessor and main competitor at low to moderate iso's.
There is more important things to consider,when I choose a camera, Ergonomics,ease of operation and fast frame rate. I want a camera who's custom features aren't burried in multiple banks. I love a fast responsive,tough and dependable,one touch system and Canon has always met these criteria's.
Thanks for sharing this video the very best I saw about Canon 1 DX Mark II, you show details, I appreciate this wonderful camera. My dream is buy one.
Aloisio Souza buy one. And nothing will be the same again. I just bought one. Its a beast.
Thanks for your kind comment.
SLR Tom, may we have more of the 1dxii content of yours. Very nice, educating.
This is the camera that delivers ! So that is what we want thank you
I think, P-Mode stands for Program, not Professional :-)
Voice commands? One of the things my mentor forced me to do was to learn my 7d2 controls while in the viewfinder. I can literally operate it in complete darkness.
Yes that's a very good skill, once you can do that you know your camera very well.
I love how you are using the non IS 500mm f 4.5L lens. I had that for years and it’s a great lens!! I try to tell everyone about that lens, but people don’t listen to me and get the 100-400mm instead. And then they just leave their zoom lenses locked at 400mm anyway. I actually made my money back when I sold it also. A real hidden gem, and lightweight!!
This is definitely a great lens. Much sharper than the zooms.
Excellent
Very nice.
THANK YOU, I love this camera but every one tells me it is so out of date, just when I can finally afford it (used)
Did you buy one? I just got one and I can assure you, it’s not out date. It’s spectacular.
This guy is awesome 😂
Could you do a comparison of specific features that this camera offers over the sony a7iii and why this is worth $3,700 more?
Sounds great...2 years later it lacks the features we want.
OrganicFarmer i still have 5d mark 2. Still owesome camera. LOL
The biggest thing is that it is a robust camera that can handle a big work load. It can handle practically any kind of weather conditions. It can focus like nobody's business. That is what you pay for. The camera can deliver. If you are getting paid to deliver photos, then you have to have a camera that won't fail.
😂 🤦♂️
Because it doesn't get wrecked on rainy days like the Sony.
How does the focus compare to the 1dx mk1? I have trouble shooting against backlight (bride at window in hotel room) with a prime.
Typically focus in very high contrast situation may not be reliable. I'd say if anything the Mark II is just a tiny bit better but I haven't compared to the 1dx mk1 for that specific reason.
Typically in this situation I look down at their bodies, focus there and make slight adjustments when necessary. Usually hits that focus point really well.
Minhute thanks and yes, I do that as well or when there is contrast on the subject(dark hair against the dress) I move the point there. Just wondering if this has been improved on the 1D X II. I've owned every 1D since the 1D MKII - that camera had no issues and the 1D MII N was equally amazing and incredible at tracking in servo.
I'm not sure that the screen is touch. If it is, then I have missed an excellent opportunity for the last four years. This camera is excellent. I'm wondering if I should purchase the mk111, what do you think?
It is touch screen for video focusing and that’s all. Tap where you want to focus off it goes.
@@stubones Thanks!
Those flaps for port opened easily and appear flimsy... I Wonder how it keeps the camera weather proof with that
They do just fine. Pros use this camera in terrible conditions and it works.
Thanks for the video. I am contemplating between 5d mark 4 and 1dx mark 2. I am interested in the frame rate as I shoot lot of birds. But can you tell me, how bad it is when you have to crop it a lot. Defenitely 5d Mark 4 has an advantage there, but I want to know if that is a reason to not buy 1Dx Mark 2.
If money is no object than the 1Dx Mark 2 wins every time. Doesn't matter how many pixels you have if the photo is not in focus. If you shoot birds, especially birds in flight, then the 1Dx is a clear winner in my mind. Also you'll be shooting in higher iso's to freeze motion, so there the 1Dx wins as well. If you shoot portraits, or landscapes, then the 5D maybe a bit better choice.
@@SLRTom Thank you for the quick response! One last question. Is the weight really concerning when you handhold with L lenses?
Best
A Mk III with a flippy screen would be nice
for doing what?
👍
Sony A9 w/ 400mm f/2.8 - 20fps with no blackouts. IBIS.
Is a 1DxM2 worth $4500 with 24000 release cycles, 2 cfast cards (32 and 64) and 2 batteries?
That seems to be about going rate for that camera, with this kind of usage. I'd check historical pricing on ebay, and user forums like Fredmiranda, to see how much they sell for.
Josek 24,000 means that by 1Dx standards this is almost a new camera. It still has hundreds of thousands of shots in front of it. If you have never had a 1Dx before you will love the camera and will always be pleased that you bought at that price with extras. Seriously, if you are dangling down a cliff on a rope and being buffeted by the wind, there is no other camera you will want in your hand. Once you go 1Dx you never can go back. Ultimately, getting a 7D as a second body is the perfect combination for anyone who ever shoots action.
Any rumours of 1DX Mark 3?
Danish Khan this camera gets updated in a slower cycle traditionally. Expect 2 years would be highly surprised if they updated it sooner. Last update was almost 4 years in between 1dx and 1dxii.
At least a year or two, but haven't heard anything.
I would guess just in time for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Canon likes to release their pro cameras during the Olympics, and with it being in Japan this time, would be perfect for them.
I’d say he was joking.
1Ds Mark III 08/2007 --- 1D Mark III 02/2007 --- 1D Mark IV 10/2009 --- 1Dx 10/2011 -- 1Dx Mark II 02/2016 ---
These are the release dates for 1Dx, who knows, I'd say a year from now might not be a bad guess.

What about a7iii?
Sony A9 :)
I have a suggestion, 1DX MK III, Mirrorless, keep the same body, by keeping the same body you can add a lot of stuff when you remove the moving parts and keep the camera from overheating, full frame, Same lenses, EVF, GPS Bluetooth, NFC, WI-FI, 23 FPS, with a IPAD like flip touchscreen with cellular capabilities that you can control everything on the camera from, updated chips, electronics, focus points that cover the entire sensor,... streamline the menu even more so, duel c-fast card slots or whatever Superfast card is out by then, better iso, remove aa filter, improve the 4K, make the skin of the camera With a bit more grip. Canon would corner the market.
There is no point in going mirroless if you are keeping the same mammoth size and same lenses....
Hello sir small help
No C-LOG was a killer for owning this camera, overpriced in my opinion.
It's not a video camera. It's not overpriced for a guy taking say two thousand shots in one day, like a news professional or sports photographer from a major magazine.
Id like to see you take a million pictures a second............. I bet youve been a canon man all your life..... Not that theres anything wrong with that
Weird comment…
Things and times changed. Try the Sony A9 on a Sony 400mm 2.8 GM or Sony 600mm 4.0 GM and you will change your opinion. For Wildlife, the A9 is the Name of the Game today.
Oh please. 🤦♂️
less okay, okay
get a Sony !!
? WHY? When Sony starts making 500mm, 600mm & 800mm prime glass.... then.... maybe... I shoot NOW with a 1DX MKII and a 600mm. SONY has nothing close to this combo. Sit down.
No one is doubting the A9 is an awesome camera..... just like the 1DX.... BUT like I said, until they come out with 600mm or bigger I can't and wont even think about Sony. A camera is a camera. Not all lens are equal! Canon is plenty good with glass pro's need. We've been shooting with them for years. Meanwhile Sony still has nothing over 400mm.
The sound of a DSLR's mirror clack-clack-clacking is like fingernails on a chalkboard, and screams "obsolete" to me. Maybe if I was reviewing a vintage camera I bought at the Salvation Army...Canon = Buick/Oldsmobile
You really are an obtuse individual 🤮
@@stubones I made this comment >4 yrs ago. Photog’s preferring this obsolete tech (Canon 1DXMII) are like hipster “mixologists” who use a typewriter to create their drink menus. We could have debated your viewpoint back then, but I doubt you’d be interested in anything other than name calling. And history is on my side anyways.
