no, they rated their VIDEO dr differently. photographic and video are two different things.

not really. if you look through the thread on the 7D, alot of it were with older lenses that simply were not as accurate (ie: 400 5.6L, original 100-400L,etc) .. and basically practice with the newer AF engine and tuning.
also the 7D AF was never designed to be as precise as the 1DX,etc AF, and some people expected to be as precise or in some cases, work better than the 1DX - sans extra CPU for AF engine and all.

not necessary.
sorry, was canon supposed to tell you that? fab and tooling wouldn't' change DR.
and PS.. odds are they already have, otherwise it probably would have been impossible to do DPAF.
nice to hear about your expertise in the field, so what about dual gain slope comparator ADC's versus traditional analog ADC's? and the impact on the noise floor? what's the advantages or disadvantages of each?
the D4,etc wasn't exactly a high DR camera - these cameras are made for high ISO shooting, not the absolute in high DR.

No one I know who shoots with both a 1Dx And 7DII would claim that the 7DII has better AF then the 1Dx from initial AF acquisition to tracking and the amount of critical in focus images they get. I am sure for most users who have never shot a 1Dx using the 7DII is a revelation it is still not in the same league as the 1Dx in providing critically sharp images of fast moving subjects. All the other stuff is meaningless if the camera is inconsistent in its all servo tracking.

True. Good thing the 7DII isn't inconsistent. And I know people (since we're playing that game) who shoot both the 7DII and 1DX, and who think that the 7DII AF is better in exactly the respects I mentioned. That doesn't mean they think it's better overall. They also think the 1DX would be better if all the points were cross-type, and if the spread of points were wider. Given that the 1DX is full frame, so that requires more coverage, Canon would either have to add more points to get the same width, or make them more spaced-out. Having them more spaced out isn't necessarily a bad thing, so long as they are still close enough to hand off from one to another when tracking. Remember that the actual AF sensor is larger than the box in the viewfinder. So long as you have the option of spot AF for a smaller sensor, that's fine.
I realize it's very hard for a 1DX owner to admit that the 7DII gets the same, or even a similar, percentage of critically sharp images of fast moving subjects. They might think that would mean that they have wasted their money on the 1DX. But, so long as they realize that the 1DX has other advantages (better high ISO, more solid robust body--though the 7DII is no slouch in that respect), they can justify the higher price. Of course, there are situations where you'll actually get a higher percentage of critically sharp shots with the 7DII. Situations where you are focal length limited. But, so long as you have good (and long) enough glass that you don't need to crop much on the 1DX, it will give you better results. It certainly should, for four times the price!

Yes, it's a shameful secret that the 1DX II will be the best professional fast action camera available. I can see why you are disappointed:

Agree, but perhaps the one possibility I see is that the prism is now built to be far more serviceable/repairable such that if you get specks anywhere in the viewfinder, it can be very quickly cleaned up? If it is only for GPS, then yes its stupid.
Maybe a pop-up flash, hence the speculated lower price. :-D

Looks good. I'll buy one.
Um, dude...that's a GPS unit!
I have used both on safari and I would choose 1dx every time just for AF.
not sure why your friends have such good 7d2s but in my case it was very clear to me.
just saying this to give a balanced view and not revert to that old 'heh it's four times the price' stuff.

Only 20 mp?

They would Bly do that if they can drastically increase ISO performance?
But iso is already good so how many people would choose that over mp.
personally I'm not buying unless at least 28mp otherwise there simply will be no advantage.

All this stupid. all I'm seeing are reasons not to buy the next 1DX MKII. These specs must have been posted by Nikon. Canon is not this stupid. No company would purposely look to lose their pro photo customers.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.
