Canon Eos 1 DX Mark II

Canon | Photo Camera CANON Eos 1 DX Mark II

The main features of the Eos 1 Dx Mark IICANON are:

Image sensor of 20 Million Pixels, is CMOS type and Full Frame format motorized by a spectacular and very fast double processor that CANON called Dual Digic 6 +, capable of setting the range of sensitivities between 50 to 409600 ISO, maintaining unbeatable noise levels. Likewise, even working in the most demanding continuous shooting conditions of up to 16 frames per second, the processor will give a good performance, without any delay when it comes to managing these large rates of information.

Apart from that, you can also enjoy the Serplus VIP Maintenance CANON already included in the published purchase price and valued at € 360

The shooting speeds are amazing, Using CFast 2.0 cards we can record up to 170 raw files in a single burst and if you use CompactFlash up to 73 images in a single burst, the data certainly overwhelms. In JPEG quality the bursts are endless, you will only have the limit that your card gives you

The sensor also incorporates a new DUAL AF technology, being the first on the market with it, having greater control and accuracy of the AF. Apart from this, the AF system is complemented by a high sensitivity reticular system of 61 points, of which 41 are of the cross type, for greater precision when deciding the focus.

The system is phase stop and uses a single processor to manage only af, which is very interesting when recording video in 4k or shooting at the highest shutter speeds.

Also through the LCD screen that in this CANON Eos 1 Dx Mark II is touch type, you can select the focus point by directly touching the screen.

Another thing that catches our attention of this camera is the ability to record video in 4k quality, or what is the same 4096 x 2160 of up to 60 frames per second and with a rate of 800 Mbps, being able to switch to Full HD or 1080 P quality, with the possibility in this case of 120 frames per second with a rate of 360 Mbps, ideal for the realization of slow motion.

The camera in 4K quality records directly in 4:2:2 and with a depth of 8 Bits

in the case of Full HD the sampling is at 4:2:0 and if we want an uncompressed Full HD, we will have the option of taking a clean signal through the HDMI connection using an optional recorder such as those of the Atomos Shoghun brand.

It gives us the possibility to record the audio through external input with timecode control.

In 4k quality, you can use any of the still image form frames having this a quality of 8.8 MP.

We are facing a rear screen of LCD type of large dimensions 3.2 inches of more than 1.6 Million points, therefore of good resolution and also as we pointed out previously is tactile, for a better operability

The double card holder can use memory cards of the type CFast or CFast 2.0 and CompactFlash being able to combine both and decide at all times how we want the second one to work, making a back up or separating RAW from JPEG, etc ...

The viewfinder at eye level has a total coverage of 100%, being able to see through the AF points, highlighting the red focus, being able to enable functions such as the electronic level, grid, white balance and a long etcetera of possibilities

The body of the camera CANON Eos 1 Dx Mark II is made of a magnesium alloy and of course it is designed to be used in any weather condition thanks to its special sealing, as usual the handle is incorporated into the body of the camera itself and it is just as comfortable to use it in a horizontal position as well as vertically, inside it houses the battery CANON LP-E19, capable of making up to 1200 shots using the viewfinder at eye level, being compatible with lp-E4 batteries, lowering in this case somewhat the performance in the continuous shooting speed

The lifting mechanism was redesigned to achieve less mechanical vibrations in the shot, thus guaranteeing a better sharpness due to the absence of trepidations.

The shutter is made of carbon fiber, to achieve fast speed and designed for a life of at least 400,000 shots

It also incorporates the typical ports in terms of connectivity of different accessories including the optional WFT-E8A transmitter, and with which you can transmit your files to a Smartphone or share them on a Wi Fi network

The Eos 1 Dx Mark IICANON incorporates a GPS module to be able to geolocate the images and have an exact information even of the time in which they were made.

The camera itself can also optimise chromatic aberrations, distortion and brightness, diffractions by compensating for all these problems with a large number of EOS system optics CANON
