New Canon EOS 1D X Breakdown!


Canon EOS 1D X Breakdown

In a not so surprising move, Canon has combined both the 1Ds and 1D series into one high performance full frame camera. What did surprise me a bit was the reduction in megapixels from the 1Ds III, however the reduction in megapixels has obviously allowed for smaller image sizes which in turn allows for a higher throughput of images and thus higher FPS. Additionally the lower megapixel density has allowed for increased ISO options and performance. The American press release states the ISO is rated up to 204,800.
61 point focus system
252 zones for general metering or 35 zones for low-light metering to help ensure accurate evaluative ambient or flash exposure.
The camera can combine up to nine individual images into a single composite image, with no need for post-processing in a computer.
14 fps at full 18-megapixel resolution in JPEG mode.
The dual CF card slots.
Rated for 400,000 cycles.
Built in LAN connection
March 2012 (5 months away)
$6,800 US as of the press release but wouldn’t be surprised to see the price go up.
The dual digic IV system of the EOS 1D IV has been upgraded to a dual digic V system, along with the addition of a dual digic IV strictly for metering and autofocus computations.
