Canon EOS 1D X Launch

Posted on October 18, 2011 by Ross Chapman

Touted as the “Olympic” camera (as it’s dropping just before the Olympics next year), the new Canon EOS ID X has been announced. Replacing the 1Ds Mark III and 1D Mark IV with an 18 megapixel full frame sensor, it’s predominantly aimed at sports and studio photographers, yet the video stats are pretty interesting: dual CF card slots, three image processors, 1080 HD video at 24p, 25p or 30p, two new compression formats, a impressive recording time of 30 minutes (AGM results can now be filmed on a dslr?! ) and many other great improvements.

The EOS-1D X will cost around £5,299.99, though this has yet to be confirmed. (ref).
