This is the Canon EOS-1D X is enhanced from the EOS-1D Mark IV. with a completely redesigned to feature 45-point autofocus system with a 10fps continuous shooting, 16 mp, ISO position is sensitive and full HD recording. The “D” means digital and the “1? means top-of-the-line, as-good-as-it-gets, #1. The “Mark IV” in the 1D product name indicates the maturity of this model – the fourth generation.

About speed in EOS-1D X The faster sensor and greater processing power are combined with a new carbon fibre shutter and revised mirror mechanism to allow 12 frame per second continuous shooting. The camera can shoot at 14fps if you’re happy to lock the mirror up (and hence lock focus), and capture only JPEG images. The shutter has a rated lifespan of 400,000 cycles (a 30% improvement on before, despite the additional demands of the faster continuous shooting). The company also says it should be more accurate at high shutter speeds. It also offers an X-sync speed up to 1/250th of a second.

At first, the move from 10 to 12 frames per second doesn’t sound terribly impressive – until you remember that the camera is now based around a larger sensor, so there’s a much bigger mirror to move. Westfall is keen to stress this: ‘The high-speed rate is greatly improved. Our full-frame cameras up until now have only been able to offer up to five frames per second, whereas this can shoot at 12fps, or 14 if you’re willing to shoot JPEG. The 1D X means you can have full-frame quality and high speed.

* 18.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor: The sensor and pixel size has been increased from the previous EOS-1D MK IV, offering better noise control and low-light performance.
* Dual DIGIC 5+ Image processor: This dual image processor boasts faster processing times and is 17 times as fast as the older DIGIC 4 processor. This is part of the reason for the snapper’s high-speed shooting capabilities.
* 14fps Super High Speed Mode: Capable of 12 frames per second burst mode shooting (RAW+JPEG), the snapper can also capture 14 frames per second with the mirror locked up and the camera shooting JPEGs.
* 61-point Autofocus system: A new autofocus system that provides improved focus accuracy. It also acquires focus more easily during AF tracking.
* In-camera multiple exposures: This feature allows you to merge up to nine separate exposures to form a single image.
