After getting my hands on the EOS R, I felt like I could approach the 1DX II from a whole new perspective. Let me know if you have any questions and what you guys think of the 1DX II!
Solid video, just upgraded from a 5D IV to this. Super stoked on the FPS and iso performance. I shoot mostly mountain bikes in the woods, so fast moving subjects and very poor lighting conditions. Very informative, subbed!
Subbed! I found your channel while having a panicked UA-cam search session after buying a 1dxmkii. I had instant buyers remorse even though I’ve wanted this camera for years! Looking forward to more of your content!
This is great. I've been using the 1DX II exclusively for 3 years now. For a difficult sport to grab, racquetball... (low light, hard angles, speed etc.) I began mostly shooting sports but have been using it to learn video... and I have to agree with you on all counts. I'd add, it also is important to know where your vids will be viewed. If it's for client work... who specifically need 4k or specific types of quality, then this doesn't serve well. But if you're creating content and growing into video, this thing is a beast with what it does well. The butter-smooth 120, etc. The file sizes on the new 1DX III will be almost unusable for workflow on the high end. So, if you need those... the new 1dx is NOT the way to go. (Though, I won't lie, I'll take one.;) I just wish my DXII had the 4k available to output... like say for a Ninja V... but you can record 1080... which is so nice... to ProRes... all this to say, if you're creating content for UA-cam of social... this thing still rocks nicely.
The 1DX II has become a staple in the photography world. As of now, there are still certain situations in which it Is unrivaled. I'm sure that with the release and adoption of the 1DX III and EOS R5 we will see more users switch away, but it is by no means a bad camera.
Glad is stumbled across your channel. I like your Studiosetup, your way of telling me stuff and your topics. Great content. All i wonder is - whos the guy in your profile picture? :P
I agree with you word for word on the lack of 10bit and clog in the canon 1dx mark ii. Because like you said it, I'm suffering from a lack in learning and progressing in my color. However I will say it probably has the best image coming out of a DSLR ever. In standard or neutral you almost have to do nothing to get incredible footage out of it. And for many clients they don't care about it being professionally color graded
Hello Sir! To be honest. I really dont know bout all of these gadgets... Coz i only use cellphone Sir... But i came here to know more about you and your content Sir. Stay safe always and GOD bless.
Someone just offered to sell me this camera for $2,700 so I'm looking at comparable reviews in 2020. I already got a ton of L Series EF glass because I shoot the Canon EOS R with adapter
Anyways are you shooting photo video? If you're shooting mostly video you might benefit from shooting Sony the only problem is is that the codec does not hold up well under color grading
Coming from a Lumix G7 and i want to upgrade my camera as i’m starting my company in photos and videos. Would you recommended the 1Dx Mark 2 still? and would you say it’s a good starting point for gear for my company?
@@ehirambeltran8684 so it really depends on your color grading skills. I used them all of my 1DX Career. I liked them, but they aren’t log. They’re just flat. Honestly you might be better off just using a standard profile .
@@sidneybakergreen I recently used davinci resolve, before I used finalcut pro, for what I do are low-budget video clips use my own resources, so I was curious about those color profiles so I could have a little more control on the image, thank you so much for answer me!
I just shot a 1DX MKii and a 1DX MK iii in Maui Hawaii and I can tell you I would not trust any R camera camera in 130 degree temperatures......shooting in deserts, moisture, sand, and rough environments I have damaged (3) R3's that could not handle hard work.....

It’s refreshing to heAr you say you like the 4K in the Mkii because every other UA-camr say how it’s no good.

It really has. From a photography perspective it's hard to really think about parting ways with it.

Great review! Thanks for being 💯 in your assessment! Appreciate the realness! 📷📸
Where I live, the 1dx Mark II sells for around 4k used. I think I'm better with the new R6!
Thank you for this review. Strange question: would you prefer the 1DX mark II over the Lumix S1H in 2020 for video?

I found a used 1dX Mark 2 for $2200 + tax on Adorama. Prices are dropping significantly.
