All points active @ f/8 seems (to me) to be a huge achievement. That alone is a leaps and bounds upgrade past anything else on the market as far as AF goes.

4k at 60fps is pretty special too. no one's doing that.
now with DPAF and what they are calling "AI AF accuracy and motion tracking was improved Servo AF III" I wonder if that's that hybrid patent that uses both PDAF sensors and DPAF senors.
more specs are coming out:
20.2MP CMOS Sensor
Dynamic range improvement
Dual pixel CMOS AF
Dual DIGIC6 + processor
ISO100-51200 (extended with 409600)
Continuous shooting 14 frames / sec.
Live View mode at 16 frames / sec – high-speed continuous shooting new mirror drive system to allow the (at 16 frames / sec.)
Continuous shooting possible number is 170 frames in RAW -. In JPEG Unlimited
61-point AF system, which range is expanded. 41-point cross-type
AF is -3EV correspondence
With lighting AF point red (I hope this means solid red AF point in servo)
AI AF accuracy and motion tracking was improved Servo AF III + – 360000 dot metering sensor.
EOS iSA. EOS itr
Viewfinder magnification 0.76 times. 100% field of view
Videos 4K 60fps.
Full HD120fps.
4K video can be recorded with the internal CFast2.0 Media
Movie Servo AF – LCD monitor 3.2 inches, 1.62 million dot. Touch panel.
Camera digital lens Optimizer (DLO).
Lens aberration correction.
Diffraction correction
CFast2.0 and compact flash of dual card slot
GPS built-in – 2-axis electronic level
USB3.0 terminal, HDMI terminal
W-FI option (WFT-E8A)
Size of 158mm x 167.6mm x 82.6 mm
DLO in camera??
that would be freaking incredible - all your lens corrections done before you even write out the RAW file? hmm.

Would you want the same fps and viewfinder lag as the a7r2 as well?
Just for the hell of it and to see everyone's jaw drop I would love it if that bulge, which sadly interrupts the lovely flowing curvature of the 1d bodies, turned out to be a pop up flash. Won't happen obviously. :-D
On a more serious note: It's all in the video spec. If it isn't as stymied as in the Nikon there would be a lot of very happy pros who want to use it for the odd clip. At least Canon's 1Dc never had any overheating problems... .

Fantastic!!!
+1
I also read somewhere that there was new sensor technology with 15 stops of DR...
All rumors to this point, we'll just have to wait and see.

sure they took little knifes and cut each sensel in half to make them DPAF.

for those that use extenders..
all points AF at F/8 *AND* DLO to help mitigate all optical flaws in camera? sounds pretty nice to me
considering that DLO corrects for the combination of characteristics of extender + lens.
If that is switchable and does it in raw before you write it out, that could be very impressive.

for your stuff I could certainly see where a 5Ds suits you at least resolution wise. how are you liking the 5Ds.. haven't seen you say much lately.
the only differences in the "core specs" were the AF having "only" 61 points and 22 versus 20mp.
maybe that's the 250MP next year

It's excellent - I'm finding it helps having all those extra pixels, even for most of my commercial work which might only be supplied at 3k px wide.
For the last few months I've been re-writing the entire Northlight site from scratch, which is taking a long while and I've only really been adding new reviews and a few articles.
A longer 'so, was 50MP really that much better' article is on my to-do list for the next month or two. I'm hoping for Canon to get their act together and sort a PRO-1000 for a review before long, and that gives me the chance to print a lot of larger 5Ds images and do some more experimentation.

I don't think it's about "photography". And I very much don't think it's about "sports". I can't say anything now with complete candor because no one knows what the real specs are. But there is nothing in THIS piece that makes me want tot get one. As a sports shooter, Canon left me out in the cold if this is what they are planning on trying and sell to me. If this IS the case Nikon won this round! And I never thought I would say that.What did you expect ?If these specs are real... Canon really is disappointing me. I expected more... much more.Source in Japanese and the text is the output of Google translator.
The specs are not impressive comparing to Nikon D5 :-|
From the direction of the reader, we have to provide information about the sharp images and specs of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.
EOS-1D X Mark II is, I seem to be equipped with a 4K video of rumor as 60fps. AF is, does not change what the distance measurement points, the range is expanded, It is quite fascinating to all of the distance measuring point is enabled in the F8.
- Canon announce soon EOS-1D X Mark II. As of specs of next EOS-1D X Mark II that is currently known.
- 20.2MP CMOS sensor. Dynamic range improvement
- Dual pixel CMOS AF
- 61-point AF system, which range is expanded. 41-point cross-type. All of the distance measuring point can be selected
- With lighting AF point red
- F8 even 61 points all of the distance measuring point can be selected
- AI AF accuracy and motion tracking has improved Servo AF III +
- Dual DIGIC6 + processor
- New mirror drive system that enables high-speed continuous shooting
- Video 4K 60fps. Possible internal recording at CFast2.0T media
- Continuous shooting up to 16 frames / sec (live view mode)
- Dual pixel CMOS AF, enables smooth AF with 4K video
- GPS built-in
- USB3.0 terminal, HDMI terminal
- Dust and water specification
- Wi-Fi option (WFT-E8)
- The size of 158mm x 167.6mm x 82.6mm
- Weight 1340g
In appearance stand out climax of penta upper portion, but whether this would be GPS. After that, it is where the frame speed and ISO range of continuous shooting in the normal mode is a concern.

- more Mpixels ?
- more AF module (all of this are F8 now, compared to the center only with the 1dx)
- more than 16 fps ? (probabily 12 or 14 with the mirror)
- more DR ? (there is indeed more DR, but we should wait to know how much, and at what ISO setting)
- faster than 4 K 60 fps ?

The 7DII AF is better in at least three respects: there are 65 points, which is a minor improvement; all 65 are cross-type, which is a not so minor improvement; and the spread of AF points covers a larger portion of the frame. The 1DX AF is also better than the 7DII in at least one respect: there are five high-precision F2.8 points in the middle, compared with one for the 7DII. I would have thought that, whatever else Canon did with the 1DX AF, they would make all the points cross-type. For all the hype about the Nikon D500 AF, the fact that it only has 35 selectable cross-type points, and 55 selectable points altogether, suggests to me that it may not perform any better than the 7DII, at least for most purposes (maybe the non-selectable AF points will help with certain kinds of tracking).

As a sports shooter, I'm not shooting at f8 much nor do I need a video camera.
What I needed was more DR to pull shadows from athletes in difficult lighting and the opportunity to have better cropping options because of 24 pix vs 20.
I also wanted better AWB, refinement of the 6 AF cases, ability to bracket from EVAL,Point, to Center. Better MA or AUTO MA for Canon A lenses. Two different cards is a pain in the BUTT.
WHAT IS CANON THINKING???
I'm being selfish thinking that the camera would be devoted to sports. But it seems as if we were thrown UNDER the bus.

well, they do have a new 300,000 pixel iTR metering sensor.
it also includes alot more functions for optical correction in camera.
we don't know about DR.. so it's probably a little early to complain.. not even the D3/4 cameras are "high DR" cameras.
with DPAF and PDAF combined .. there maybe automatic AF tuning. hard to say. there was some patents specificaly around AI servo using both PDAF and DPAF.
so it's probably a little early to start shouting. monday or tuesday - shout away

that's only because it's APS-C all the 7DII AF points are f5.6, except one center cross. that's huge for accurate wide open super tele's.

I sure hope they don't use the 7D2 AF system on a flagship camera. Google "Canon 7D2 AF issues" and you can read for as long as you're willing. The fact Canon hasn't so much as acknowledged is the issues so many people are having yet is no different than the Nikon D600 oil debacle.
The 1DX has better AF than the 7D2. The 1DX also has a separate, dedicated processor for AF while the 7D2 does not.
More on point though, those are some pretty weak specs in light of the D5 - I hope there are some surprises in store.
