Canon EOS-1D X

Canon unveiled a completely redesigned EOS-1D series camera on Tuesday - the EOS-1D X Digital SLR. Replacing both the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV, the EOS-1D X DSLR features an 18-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, 3.2-inch, 1,040,000-dot LCD display, Dual DIGIC 5+ Imaging Processors, 14-bit A/D data conversion and is capable of shooting 12 fps.

Packed full of new features, the EOS-1D X boasts a new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF – Canon's most sophisticated to date, new EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF options, and is also the first EOS Digital SLR to feature Multiple Exposure capability. And that's just a sampling of what's new (read the press release below for all the details). The camera also offers a top ISO range of 204,800, a 252-zone metering system, and a 14 fps JPEG (12 fps RAW) burst mode.

As far as video is concerned, it can capture 1080p video at 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); and 720p HD or SD video recording at either 50p or 60p (59.94). The EOS-1D X also features automatic splitting of movie files when a file is over 4GB. This allows for continuous video recording up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds across multiple 4GB files with no dropped frames. The files can then be connected in post production. It also includes a wind filter, and offers manual audio level control, an automatic setting, or it can be completely turned off. Sound can be recorded either through the internal microphone or via an optional external microphone through the stereo mic input. Read more
