From the Manufacturer
The Ultimate EOS
Canon has brought the best of the EOS-1D Series of digital cameras into one phenomenal model: the new flagship of the EOS line, the EOS-1D X*. Its full-frame 18.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor and all-new Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors deliver high quality image capture at up to 12 fps (14 fps in Super High Speed Mode) and a powerful ISO range of 100 - 51200 (up to 204800 in H2 mode) provides sharp, low-noise images even in the dimmest low-light conditions. An all-new, 61-Point High-Density Reticular AF and 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor that uses a dedicated DIGIC 4 Image Processor, makes the EOS-1D X reach new levels of focus speed and accuracy delivering advanced tracking even for the most challenging shooting situations. Taken all together, the EOS-1D X’s improved HD video capture, numerous connectivity options, combination of processing power and durable construction, including shutter durability tested to 400,000 cycles, make it the ultimate EOS.
Brilliant Sensor, Supercharged Processors
18.1 Megapixel full-frame SMOS sensor
The EOS-1D X features a newly developed Canon full-frame 18.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor that’s designed from the ground up to create high resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. A full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5184 x 3456 large individual 6.95 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor’s sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera. And a 2-line 16-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 12 fps (RAW + JPEG) and even 14 fps (Super High Speed Mode) are possible!
Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors for enhanced noise reduction and blazing processing speed
For a whole new level of performance, the EOS-1D X uses Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors. Working with four 4-channel A/D converter front-end processing circuits, and delivering speeds of up to 12 fps (RAW + JPEG), and 14 fps (JPEG), and the Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors improve data processing performance up to 30% over previous processors and feature new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition to conventional image processing functions the Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors offer real-time compensation for Chromatic Aberration in both still and motion images. With the power of these two processors, speed improvements are noticeable from the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for themselves
Canon's Most Sophisticated AF, Period
All new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
The newly designed 61-Point High Density Reticular AF features an Offset Array Sensor (with staggering AF point arrangement) to deliver greater accuracy, no matter the situation. It offers multi-zone wide-area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is sensitive in extremely low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).
Intelligent Exposure, Fast
EOS iSA (Intelligent Subject Analysis System) Powered by Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The EOS-1D X features a brand new 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor with a dedicated DIGIC 4 Image Processor that delivers substantial improvements in evaluative ambient and flash metering. The sensor has 252 distinct zones, with 35 zones specifically designed for low-light metering. The meter’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor uses a new EOS iSA (Intelligent Subject Analysis System) that incorporates face and color recognition data for more stable performance under rapidly changing lighting situations.
Sopisticated Full 1080 HD Recording at the Touch of a Button
EOS HD Video Recording
Addressing the requests of the pros, the EOS-1D X captures HD video with an unprecedented level of sophistication for a digital SLR. It offers both All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording up to 29:59 minutes without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding only during recording (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run)—useful for multi-camera shoots. The EOS-1D X offers easy operation with the new Live View shooting/Movie shooting button. Improved sound recording adjustment capabilities offer 64-step volume control; and a sound recording level meter that is accessible through the Quick Control screen during video shooting. With the Silent Control function, adjustments can be made quietly with a touch pad located on the inner portion of the Quick Control Dial. The built-in wind filter helps suppress unwanted wind noise that can distort or muffle sound.
AII-I
Compresses each frame. Although the file size is larger than IPB, each frame is not affected by the previous and next frames, making it suitable for editing and extracting frames.
IPB
Compresses the movie frame by referencing the previous and next frames. High compression is used, making it suitable for recording long movies.

I have had this camera for about a year now. It has not failed me. I have specialized in photographing stage shows. This requires rapid fire, bouncing around stage pits, shooting on stages with weird lighting and moving fast. It is a heavy camera. I use a Cotton Carrier hand strap and the Cotton Carrier Camera System (a sort of vest holding my 1DX and my Canon 5 D.) In the past year there was one recall. I sent the camera back to Canon and they said "preventive measures have been applied. Product functions were confirmed." I did not notice any problem but Canon saw a need for preventive intervention. I'm happy they are on top of these things. While expensive, the fact of its sturdy, solid build gives confidence that it will take rough wear. The complexity of the camera is demonstrated by the 2.5 inch thick print out of its manual which has recently been updated due to a firmware update. My one complaint is the lack of wireless ability. It has USB, ethernet & HDMI which I find kludgy in trying to use them. Canon is good at cameras but somewhat late at the technology table. Having said that, I would not trade in my 1Dx for any of the new wizbang cameras. If you're going to shoot where the action is, this is the camera for you.

The changes in the button layout from the 1D mk iv are frustrating. Otherwise, it's an amazing upgrade. And given how nice the mk iv is, I'm a bit shocked. I didn't think a camera could be that much better.Lots of other people have written at length about this camera. Read their reviews if you need more details. As for me, I'm happy, it's a great camera with little learning curve to get used to the changes.UPDATEI've owned it four days now, and I've managed to take at least 800 pictures!The internet kept telling me this wasn't much of an upgrade over the 1d mk iv. I think the internet was wrong. Most things work much better on this camera. The preview image zoom is an example of something that doesn't work better; it downright sucks.Last week, before I owned this I took pictures during a play practice. In Av mode my 1D mk iv tried to make everything gray, so the black curtains at the back of the stage were hideously overexposed. Today, I took the same pictures, and this camera managed to keep the black curtains black. Magic.Overall, I was a little worried I might be disappointed in this camera. No chance of that. This is a huge upgrade.

I shoot bodybuilding shows. I have been shooting them since 2002. I have around 486,000 images on my smugmug site mainly from bodybuilding shows.I shoot 26 to 27,000 images at a two day show.I have shot two BB shows with the 1Dx and a number of other events. For me another event would be a burlesque show, POI fire performers, or a concert. I avoid flash photography as much as possible. Almost all my images are available light.I find the EOS 1Dx to be one of the best cameras I have ever used. It preforms at the top level one should expect for the price.I highly recommend it.I compare it to my prior experiences with 5D MkIII (my current back up camera), 5D MkII, 1D MkIV, 1D MkIII, 1D MkII, and older cameras.

There is probably no need for a detailed review of this excellent camera on what is essentially a consumer web site. The people who would consider a nearly $7000 body are either professionals who will come to their own conclusions based on the specs and in-depth reviews on digital photography sites, or price-insensitive enthusiast photographers who can commit to a high-end system based on the notion that it is in some sense "the best."For the benefit of the second group I will observe that there are two overriding reasons why you might have a need for this camera to the exclusion of others: (1) the fantastic low-light level performance and (2) that insane frame rate of 12 fps (14 fps if you are shooting/storing JPEGs). If you engage in low-light photography or action photography, this is the body for you (though of course low light levels and high frame rate are mutually exclusive in the real world). If you don't need the fast frame rate or will be satisfied with merely excellent low-light image capture instead of spectacular capture, you might as well consider the Canon EOS 5D, which has otherwise similar specs and is somewhat less massive at about half the price.On the other hand, massive has advantages for particular types of photography. Even with Canon's image stabilization lenses, extra weight has advantages in controlling camera shake and consequent image softness. The extra mass in the 1D X, as in other makers' high-end offerings, at least partly stems from a design that offers two independent grips and sets of control buttons. Some days you shoot landscape mode, some days portrait. No need to hold the camera in a position that may be awkward or uncomfortable to get the frame shape you want. Just rotate the body and use the other grip position and alternate buttons. Furthermore, the 1D X body is stronger and more weather resistant than Canon's other EOS bodies. If you find yourself out photographing in the wet, consider this one.Just in case you are thinking of a dual purpose body that allows not only excellent control of single images but also generation of high quality video, you should know that the similar but greatly more expensive (about $12,000) EOS 1D C (for Cinema) body offers similar single image capability plus video recording capabilities that exceed this unit's HD recording standard. The 1D C offers full 4K recording at four times the resolution of the 1D X (twice the pixels in each dimension). That doesn't mean this body is a slouch at video, because it offers full 1920 x 1080 HD capture, which is pretty good even for some professional work. But if you are a budding filmmaker who foresees the possibility of theatrical presentation of what you produce, the 4K standard is where you probably ought to be. Compare the price of Canon's dedicated video body, the EOS 500C, at somewhere around $25,000. Admittedly it is a lot more sophisticated than what you get in the 1D C body, but maybe you don't need that level of power. And if you are satisfied with HD resolution, or don't do much video work at all, there really is no reason to look further than the 1D X.I have had the 1D X body and four lenses (three zooms and a fixed length macro) for a couple of months now. I could not be happier with the body or the quality of the glass. For my purposes I know I overbought with this camera, but the truth remains: too much is always enough. And it certainly affords me room to experiment and grow.I am not a professional photographer, but I have considered myself a serious amateur for over 40 years. This body is the core of my retirement camera system.
