Canon Ambassador Frits van Eldik's first impressions of the EOS-1D X

The EOS-1D X is the new flagship camera in the Canon DSLR range, taking the best of the EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds cameras and melding them into a single unit that gives both high resolution and high speed shooting. No longer do you need to choose between the two when both are available in one body.

By taking the EOS-1D Mark IV and making radical changes to every aspect of the camera's build and design, the EOS-1D X stands head and shoulders above everything that has gone before to offer high resolution, high frame rate and high ISO shooting with a full-frame CMOS sensor, and industry leading HD Movie shooting in one camera. It is 'Performance redefined'.
Key specifications * 18.1 Megapixel, Full-frame CMOS senso * 61-point AF with up to 41 cross-type AF points * Zone, Spot and AF Expansion Focusing modes * DUAL "DIGIC 5+" processors * 12fps shooting with 14fps super High Speed continuous * ISO 100 to 51,200 as standard, ISO 50 to 204,800 with expansion * 100,000-pixel RGB AE senso * DIGIC 4 processor dedicated to AE functions * +/- 5 Stop Exposure Compensation * Full HD Movie shooting with ALL-I or IPB compression * 29mins 59sec clip length in Full HD Movie * 55ms shutter lag, 36ms via 'Shortened Release Lag' Custom Function * Timecode setting for HD Movie shooting * Transparent LCD viewfinder with new focusing screen * 8.11cm (3.2"), 1.04 million pixel Clear View II LCD Screen * Improved EOS Integrated Cleaning System (EICS) * Dual CF Card slots * Silent control touch-pad area

1) Walk in to government press conference with new Canon 1D X.

2) Give a narly glare to journalist next to you who is only using a Canon 1D MK 3

3) Important government figure comes out to make a speech.

4) Aim Canon 1D X at important government figures head

5) Forget that 14FPS JPG mode is enabled

6) Fire away

7) Wake up in hospital with 3rd degree Tazer burns and dislocated shoulder

8) Have huge smile on your face knowing that your 1D X was mistaken for a submachine gun

^^^ Priceless :D

With the lack of 1,3x crop and no focus at f/8 I bet he will be using his older 1D Mark IVs for the F1 grand-prix photos and only use the 1Dx as his tourist camera.
