5d mark 4 has has 30 MP vs 20MP of idx , considering the standard full frame sensor means the pixels will be larger in idx which results in better low light performance, but how do you compare the image resolution sharpness with the 30MP image of 5d mark4, secondly if it comes with large pixels then better it should have C log to atleast get your money value at this level of expensive camera to be able use it for cine style videos, what do you suggest one should go for which camera?
Hi Saifullah, it all depends on your preferred use of the camera. For sports and action photos the 1D X is unrivaled, it performs best when taking these kinds of photos. The 5D Mark IV is the best in combination with wide angle lenses to take some great landscape photos.
How do you make this camera output 4K 60 FPS (as you claim at 7:45 min mark), to my Atomos Shogun Inferno? The only option I see on my Atomos screen is 1080 60 FPS.
Hi thanks I'm new to the cam and want to shoot sports . what is the best way to use the cam to speed up the process ? as in shall I buy the wifi dongle almost the price of a new lens! and use my iphone to send out pics or buy a laptop lock the best pics in cam and ingest he best and then quick edits in Lr? What about size when sending the files assuming I'm already shooting large jpeg not raw to speed up the process as I'm a one man band ...thanks! Brendan So wifi vs laptop with card reader and what type of connection will I need the laptop route for internet access? Crazy deadlines like 14 min to 2-3 hours post sport event or most post during and after the event ...help lol
you did not mention dynamic range on video and also the battery life while shooting video. How many hours can the camera run if we were to keep ii on using the lcd viewfinder?
Hi Kamki! It will all depend on your camera settings, however, you should expect an average life of 2.5 to 3 hours of continuous shooting with the LCD screen on.
I'm trying to look into good CFAST cards for the 1D-X Mark 2. Any suggestions? I have always used Sandisk for my SD card purchases back when I was a Panasonic, Sony Fs5/ a7s2 and Canon Rebel shooter however I am seeing posts that Sandisk Cfast cards have a tendency to fail. There is the Delkin Cfast but it is too new and not as reliable.
Hi, you can get all the info about it here: www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/cameras/eos-dslr-and-mirrorless-cameras/dslr/eos-1d-x-mark-ii
Im using a Sony a7r2 and really want to move back to a larger body. Im keen on the 1DX2 but did I hear you say I cant record 4k on my Atomos inferno like my Sony?
Hi there ! I wonder if you could help me , I want to buy the Canon 1dx ii , but I've realised that the files are huge when filming is this common on dslr ? Also would this camera would be compatible with MacBookpro 2017 touch pad ? Can I transfer all the files into external harddrive and than from there work on fcpx ? And also please how continuous filming it does and if there is a limit , can I stop it and than start filming again straight away ? Also sorry ( so many questions ) how many gigabytes it takes filming for an hour on HD ? Many Thanks ! Love your videos
Hi, if you are shooting in 4k or 1080p the files will be huge, we do not know about the compatibility with the MacBookpro, as we are using windows with that camera. All the files can be transferred to an external hard disc first if that is easier for you. The camera can record up to three minutes of 4K footage at a time, and up to 29mins and 59secs of Full HD footage, and you cannot pause a video. One hour of 1080p video can take up to 20gb.
When shooting movies (4k_FHD) other than high frame rate movies the maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. When shooting high frame rate movies (FHD_119.9 fps. or 100.0 fps.) the maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec.
I rarely fill up one card before downloading, but I always have both slots filled. Recently, I did fill the 1st, assumed it would automatically switch to the #2 card, it did not. Why?
Is it possible to transfer from the 1DX mk2 via GIGABIT Ethernet directly to a laptop. Does the Wifi module support 802.11ac (Gigabit ~128MByte/s). Does the Cam support FTP via an 802.11ac wifi access point (LTE Router for instance) transfer to laptop, prior sending it to an agency?
Hi tmc-fotografie de! Yes, it is possible to connect directly to a laptop via the GIGABIT Ethernet port, as long as you are using the EOS Utility Software. The WFT-E8A supports IEEE 802.11ac wireless protocol using both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Wow.. just the other day I shot 1437 shots, mostly NOT using live view, but did take, about 10 minutes with it on... And, I still had at least half the battery left. So, not sure how he got just over 1000 shots...
Yes, that's true because typically that information isn't "baked" into the raw file. I believe that the In-camera lens corrections are also only applied to the .jpeg files. Besides that I am not sure what else you are limited to but it's worth checking out. Take care.
I have shot video in HD on my 1dx mark ii and it plays just fine on my Mac computer but when I shoot in any of the 4k settings it plays back on my computer horribly. It skips and is jumpy. My main reason for shooting in 4k is so that I can do a still frame grab from the videos. Do you know why the 4k video will not play back properly on my computer? Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks so much!
The 1DX mark ii uses an outdated and clunky codec called motion jpeg when recording in 4K. It results in massive file sizes and your computer may not be powerful enough to handle them, resulting in poor playback.
Yeah, mjpeg is silly. Dual Xeon processors and m.2 ssd doesn't make a difference- video still stutters and freezes, but audio continues to play. You have to encode the video first. An extra step to my workflow when I record on the 1dx2
Thanks for the great info, it helped me out tremendously since I'm in the market for a 1 DX Mark ii. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you Larry, great to hear that!
Great job, Could you please do an in-depth overview of the focus systems on the 1DX Mark two
Thank you for the suggestion!
excellent video . so helpful.

Hi, Serge Letunovskiy! The 1dx does not output 4k video through the HDMI. It can only record 4k 60p internally to the cfast card.
Digital Goja I appreciate the clarification.
Happy to help you Serge Letunovskiy!

can I shoot 120fps with the Compact flash card? Or it´s on the CFAST 2.0 too?
Thanks and regards
Hi Pablo, you will need to use the Cfast!
and a big one.... 'eats' space on 120fps! Filesize is uge!
Awesome job Adam.
Thanks for the info. I shoot landscape with a 5D III. Does 1Dx II have in built HDR facility like the Mark III?
Hi, the 1DX II does not have HDR.
Need advice. Is a 1dxm2 worth it with 24000 release cycles, 2 batteries, 2 cfast cards for $4500?
Hi, yes, it is still worth it!
Do you always need to go through the menu to access video or is there any button you can assign to
Hi, you can try to assign some of the buttons on the front for video, please check the options for that.
What about defrent prce for same canon 1dx but, 20.1mpg with18 mpg , and the prce btwen $3.999 to $5.499 ? why ?
Hi, the price of the Mark II is $5499, we are not familiar with any lower price of it.
all the questions are on video a few questions on photography would be nice
What is the lens compatibility of this camera? Does canon all L series lenses and all other lenses are compatible for this camera?
It's compatible with all EF Mount mount lenses including the Canon L Series of lenses.
Hi, please clearfiy about useing canon 18-80mm t4.4 lens , question is are this lens work with canon 1dx or not ?
thanks allot
Hi, it is compatible with all EF lens mounts, including the 1DX.

Hi, we would recommend a Lexar card for that camera, in never failed us.
Is both DCI 4K 60fps and 1080P 120fps intraframe?
When shooting 1080P in any of the frame rates, can I sensor zoom like I can on the 70D for video?
Both of them are intraframe but it is not possible to do the sensor zoom on it.
Focus peeking on 1dx ii? adjustable focus point on touchscreen for video on 1dx ii?
Hi, unfortunately, it does not have focus peaking but the focus points are very adjustable.
do you have information about 1dx mark III specification ?
Hi, you can get all the info about it here:
www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/cameras/eos-dslr-and-mirrorless-cameras/dslr/eos-1d-x-mark-ii
Can you record video to both cards redundantly?
Hi Ethan, you can set it in the record function setting.
Im using a Sony a7r2 and really want to move back to a larger body. Im keen on the 1DX2 but did I hear you say I cant record 4k on my Atomos inferno like my Sony?
Hi, the 4k should work on it.
4K HDMI is not supported only Full HD

Hi John, please make sure that you have activated the option in the memory card settings "auto switch card".
Thanks. Could not find that in the book.
I enjoy your videos.

how to image transfer from 1dx mkii camera to any mobile?is it possible??
You will need a WFT-E8 or WFT-E6 wireless transmitter, then you can connect your camera to your phone.
Was that a type 1 or type 2 cf card ?
This is the type 1 card.
Ok thank you. Iv'e got the 1d classic so hopefully it should also be a type 1 slot
nice

Some settings are only applicable to JPEG and not RAW. Is there a listing of those settings?
Hello, COMPILOT1. I would refer back to the camera's instruction manual for this. I don't know if there is a specific list regarding those settings.
@@DigitalGojaUSA Thanks. I have searched the digital manual and the references to JPEG ONLY are scattered and not listed seperately.
@compilot1 You're welcome! Was there a specific setting you were curious about?
@@DigitalGojaUSA No not really. I first noticed this in Picture Styles. Made me wonder if there was a complete listing available. Thanks
Yes, that's true because typically that information isn't "baked" into the raw file. I believe that the In-camera lens corrections are also only applied to the .jpeg files. Besides that I am not sure what else you are limited to but it's worth checking out. Take care.
Can i shoot in lower bitrate on 4k in stat of motion jpeg
Hi, the bitrate can be changed when shooting video, from 24 up to 60 fps.
Digital Goja how can I change it
You just need to change the fps in the settings.
Digital Goja but then I have a lower fps count can I have 4k 60fps in a other bitrate as motion jpeg
Hi Ward, unfortunately, as far as we know that is not possible.

Does it has inbuild body image stabilization?
Hi, unfortunately, it does not have it.
@@DigitalGojaUSA which model has the same?
Can you guide me?
@@aahanabanerjee2205 The Canon 6D Mark II has it.
what are your recommended lenses for the iDX markII
Hi Rod, we would like to suggest the Canon 24-70mm, 70-200mm and a prime like the 50mm 1.4.
i have the 24-70, and the 70-200 already so i would be buying the 50mm f1.4. thanks
With those two you have a great range, and the 50mm prime will be a great addition to the team.
can i use both CFast card on the two memory card slot or it has to be 1 cf card and 1 CFast card?
one slot is only for CFast cards and the other one is only for the CF cards.
wooooooooow
first one
