Canon EOS-1D Mark II Review

The new Canon EOS-1D Mark II is the successor to the Canon EOS-1D which was announced and introduced at the end of 2001. This new generation of digital SLR almost doubles resolution with its new eight megapixel CMOS sensor, doubles the size of the...

Excellent resolution, not just a step change from the EOS-1D but a leap Switch from CCD to CMOS delivers very clean images with no pattern noise Maintains EOS-1D's amazing 8.3 fps and increases buffer to 40 frames (JPEG) Superbly well built, 'a solid...

Startup delay - on a camera at this level we expect no startup delay JPEG images appear a little soft, can be improved by increasing sharpness setting Control system can be a little confusing at first, menu operation different to other D-SLR's...

The original EOS-1D was a very important camera for Canon, their first home grown professional digital SLR built to EOS-1V standards and carrying that all important '1' label (indicating the best in their range). As such it was a camera which made its...

Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Review

The EOS 1DX Mark II is Canon's latest top-of-the-line full-frame professional-level DSLR. It features a 20.2 million pixel sensor, which is an upgrade from the 18 million pixel sensor that the 1DX had.

The Canon EOS 1D X Mark II is more of an incremental upgrade than the difference between the Nikon D4S and the Nikon D5, however it is still a very tempting proposition for professional photographers.

Canon 1DX Mark II Review

Sure, it's big, it's heavy, and it's expensive, but the Canon 1DX Mark II is the best Canon DSLR for sports, action, wildlife, or photojournalism. The 20MP resolution is a slight increase from the earlier 1DX, but it might not suit those commercial...

Excellent image quality, especially from RAWs; Fantastic high ISO performance; Fast autofocus with great tracking performance; 14fps burst rate; Amazing buffer capacity; 4K 60p video; Robust build quality.

Very heavy, bulky and expensive; Dual memory card slots use different formats; 29:59 continuous video recording limit; Touchscreen feels underutilized.
