A new flagship on the Canon’s professional line of DSLR’s the Canon EOS 1D X, a full-frame CMOS sensor image, autofocus beefed-up capabilities and sporting shooting speed improved. With the prior 1D-series models, 1D X merges its portrait and landscape grips, with all manual control that a professional need, and with a durable design. The 1D X has increasingly assimilates the professional-quality video features needed in this industry. It’s focused on multimedia capability, the ergonomics improvement on the previous 1D-series for sports, news photographers and wildlife. It was announced last fall but it’s just recently entering the market.
The 1D X is built around a full-frame 18 MP CMOS imaging sensor that distributes effective resolution. Basically, that it has the same size (containing the same surface area) on a single frame of a 35mm strip of film. The 1D X sensor measures in at 36 x 24mm, whereas the 1D Mark IV of an APS-H chip inside measures 27.6 x 18.6mm.
In such a way Canon have one reason manufacturing it, in the past. With the less over-all resolution, it tends to use slightly smaller sensors on professional DSLR for their more performance-oriented image files. In which it turns to make faster process, they produced extensively smaller in size. This has allowed Canon to enhance its continuous shooting speeds on the camera with the high-resolution, were full-frame models are capable of. Nevertheless, in recent years image processors become more powerful and technology has caught up. That means it can turn more crunch data in less time so that huge image files are no longer an obstacle for a speedy shooting that they were.
The twin DIGIC 5 processors that the 1D X’s give has a power to munch those image data, that also includes Raw image flies lossless, with an extremely fast shatter rate of 12fps in standard mode that in which the camera offers to allow or 14 fps in a super high speed mode (JPEG capturing only), making 1D X on the market the fastest DSLR, nearest to its rival fractionally quicker than the 11fps Nikon D4.
The 1D X able to offer it’s widest on any camera based on sensitivity ranges, with standard ISO ranging 100-51,200. Further expands at the low end to its equivalent to ISO 50 and ISO 204,800 in its H2 settings. Two-stop improvements over the 1D Mark IV over the 1D X. Canon has taking care of its metering of 100,000-pixel RGB AE metering system with partial or evaluative all offered metering forms.
There are no vivacious shooting forms or digital filters built-in, though the full suite of shutter-priority, program, aperture-priority and fully manual exposure modes (PASM) are present and correct. Video capture has a maximum quality setting of 1080p Full HD support at 30, 25 or 24fps. While recording video there is no functionality of continuous autofocus, need to manually adjust the focus once the camera is recording. Movies stored using H.264 (.MOV) density with timecodes embedded. The side camera body you’ll find a HDMI mini output on a HDTV for easy playback of movies. And there’s an Ethernet port to transfer images to a PC.
Through its battery life, whether you’re assigned to a basketball championship games or on an event on the sidelines. One thing you worry about how to swap batteries and able to be in good shape on that. With an extensive of about 2,000 images and through several hours digging on the menus and photo reviewing on its built-in LCD during a week-long trial, in observing the camera availability it’s still through a well deserve 41% condition. Performance wise, of course it depend on it’s diverging external condition and the time you reviewing images after each capture on the LCD.
This is much of the things that I could share but if you’re an owner of a 1D Mark IV a new professional DSLR in the market, probably you’ll be upgrading a camera by buying the 1D X. With spending most on a 1Ds Mark III in a studio having to jump with less motivation, nonetheless, considering the value of that camera with its benefits of the X when shooting in controlled lighting environments. Never owned one of those cameras but if your burning a bundle of cash, you’ll be happy on the D1 X. Just keep a massive size mentality, and figuring it out on how to fit it through your lifestyle.
