This camera, as long as it's still working well, will ALWAYS be relevant!

Love the 1DXII, it's a camera that feels like it is always ready for the races. SO quick and responsive, and when the shutter is firing away rapidly it's a lot of fun!

20 seconds in the video and I'm going to say yes its still relevant... Better than most cameras being put out today

Great review and presentation - thanks for sharing I am considering a 1DX and this video helps!

"How good is it for photography in 2019?" Like most medium to high-end cameras built in the past 7 years or so, more than most photographers are capable of.... Great review. I love reviews of older tech. Even the original1DX is more than enough for 99.9% of photographers out there. Probably any of us.

I mean I just bought mine only back in June of last year and I have to say I can't imagine anything else. It has plenty of Megapixels, the AF is amazing the battery lasts all day and it's rugged as hell. I don't mind the weight and photo wise it never fails me.

This is the ONE Canon body that I LUST for!!!

I got my 1DXii about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. I came from a 5Diii and will never look back. Sure it's bulky and heavy but who cares, it just works. Yeah it might not have the tricks and bells and whistles that newer 2018/19 cameras have like the XT3 or Sony this or whatever that but I love it for it's simplicity, fast AF, Duel Pixel Af and the images I get out of the camera both stills and in video to me make it worth it. With a flick of a switch I can be in 4k 60, then I can map a button to shoot 1080p at 120fps then switch back to photos literally in seconds. Sold the 50mm 1.2 as it was super sexy of a lens, just wasn't to excited about the focal length. I got the 35mm 1.4ii instead and I'm way happier. The 70-200 2.8ii IS also goes with me everywhere and it just such a sweet lens paired with the camera even for hand held video I can stabilize at 70-100mm it's that good. This camera will keep me content for at least another 4-5 maybe even 6 years as It has the features I use and need, regardless of the new systems that come out.

Canon feels like a pro camera. Sony’s feel like a student cameras.

It certainly is. I'm still using a Canon 600D and I'm happy with it

I own a 1dxmark 1, LOVE IT HEAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made a promise never to replace it until it fails to work or becomes unrepairable. The 1D series are very solid, high quality cameras. Nothing beats an optical viewfinder.

Picked up the 1Dx ii this week after years of using the various 5D and 7D cameras..and it is amazing for the wildlife and sports photography I do. I really thought it didn't get much better than the 5D iii for the Canon line up but boy was I wrong

great content brother, you got a new subscriber. much love and support from India 🙏

Thank you for the update Bobby. I’m a very long way from wearing my 1Dx II out and still have my 1Ds. Somehow, I can’t help thinking that this kit will not be struggling at the Olympics for quite some time yet.

With the mark III coming... do you wait or grab the mark II when prices fall? Great review, thank you

Awesome video man. Straight to the points. Gotta say love this setups 😊 Thank you so much!

Its still relevant for 2023. I've just bought one to use for low light indoor sports such as swimming and gymnastics. Its perfect for that still.

"Is Canon's current top of the line, most expensive camera still relevant? " Is this even a real question?

I use my 1DXii mainly for the infamous 4K/60 and low light/night photography. Otherwise, I shoot with my new EOS R. The 1DXii is definitely relevant in 2019.

I shoot (photo and video) with a 1DXii and I love it. Reliably, great ergonomics, predictable. I recently added a Panasonic G9 to my kit because I needed a smaller, lighter camera for some of my travel work. It's a fantastic camera and I love the IBIS and other tech in it. But. Using it really reinforced to me how mature the 1DXii is. It just works. The G9 is a fabulous camera and the light weight is a joy, but it's harder to use, not as robust, not as well constructed. All things I can live with, but it does reinforce just how good the 1DXii is at doing what it does. Love both these cameras. How lucky are we to live in a time where we have such great equipment to argue over?

While I have never used the 1DX Mk ll, I would imagine it is still relevant. I currently use 2 Mk l's and a 5D Mk lll and they are most definitely still relevant. When wear becomes an issue with the current 1DX's I use, I intend to purchase a Mk ll as replacements. I have used several models of Canon cameras since I began doing photography seriously; the Ftb, the F1, the 1N, the 1V. GO CANON!!

This camera is a beast! I enjoy it almost every day. I got the 70-200mm mark II and it's a reliable work horse, every time, every where.

I have the 70-200 f2.8 Mark 2, and the sharpness is also unbeatable. A Mark 3 is not relevant for me right now, as the Mark 2 delivers nearly perfect results. I use it sometimes for portrait photography and you could actually count the pores on someones face. I also have the 50mm 1.2 and I like the way it shoots what you actually see with your own eyes. now I am selling my RP and looking for a used 1D MK2 online.

i m shooting with 1ds3 and 1dx with the 70-200 2.8 is II for years, yes it s heavy but it s my fav combo by far, i never travel without it, it s the perfect tool for everyting

Great video. Nice to see someone doing a video on the stills not the video capabilities of this camera. Thank you

You're amazing! Thank you for this review

I really enjoyed this review, Bobby. That's my dream camera. Lots of folks get caught up with the latest and greatest and don't appreciate the prowess of that kit. It's a jack of all trades and it's no wonder working pros are still using it. I can only imagine what the next iteration of that kit will bring. Great job man!

Perfect review and u r a man of humanity

I picked one up in February. The lowlight capability is great and you will never outrun the buffer with the Cfast2.0 card.

The Canon 1DX Mark II is for me still the best camera out there for Wildlife - Action - Sport. I can compare it, I also can use the Sony A9 and Nikon D850. But nothing can compete with the 1DX Mark II. And this is not just because if the speed and reliability. It is simply because of the excellent Canon ecosystem. I use the Canon 1DX mark II together with the stunning Canon 600mm 4.0 III and this is a combo no other company can offer. Excellent in image quality, reliability and customer support. Exactly what I need on my tours through Siberia, South America and Africa. Forget any Sony system here, this is just a toy camera system compared to the Canon 1DX Mark II.

hey @tech360.tv, just a small suggestion - why not mention the camera/lens combo you guys are using to film each video? This video looks pretty good, and I am curious what gear was used to film it. Was it the 1DX Mark II as well?

I love this camera, i have it from 3 months and I'm very excited with it 📸😇

Hi Bobby, I love the way of your review and agree with your view. I am going to buy a mark ii although the mark iii has come out.

Please tell me. What would you buy now? used 1DXM2 or new R6. For me, this is a very relevant question for today) 1DXM2 is it really cool?

Love the fact that the kids are more professional with the camera than the professional photographers that complain alot

I want to pull the trigger but id be kicking myself if the idx iii cane out

Great vid! Love the shirt. Nuff respect! p.s. can we get a considerable price drop

Which sport and wildlife photographer seriously needs the video options? The robust body in combination with the large lenses makes them attractive for professionals. In comparison, EOS R is more of a lifestyle product. Refreshing video in a great environment.

A lighter 30mp version with an optional grip and 12fps would be better...maybe (the weather sealing wouldn't be as good.

It still is not only relevant but better then most new cameras, including mirrorless, out there today. P.S the EF 50mm L f1.2 is one of the best lenses I ever used not because of sharpness but because its own special character (I'd take it over the new RF anyday).

I used lots of cameras, the Canon 1D series of cameras had always been mine dream... but too bad I cannot afford them.

Let a 8 years old guy holding a 9000$ camera, no problem 😂

In live view mode, the continuous autofocus (servo) doesnt work and ul miss lots of shots if the subject is moving a lot, esp with forward/backward direction. In video mode, autofocus in 120fps is considerably slower and hunts a bit. The 4k mjpeg codec needs lots of resources in post editing. Oftentimes the heavy weight is a burden with run and gun video on a gimbal. Screen not flippin’ for low slung angle and no built in wifi means a need for external monitor. I sold mine after a year and got a7iii instead. But im keeping the 5dm4 for photos as mirrorless cant replace the look of an slr, yet.

beautiful review

Excellent review... loved it!

Want that camera so bad!! And that lens!

My favorite action camera😍

This is combo of beast... Omg

Singapore zoo! ;) mark III is coming but I am wanting to get this one :)

Bobby, please review Laowa ultra wide lens. Had requested through Instagram. Hoping to see how this lens can be used in Singapore landscapes.

Should i buy the 24-70 f4 for 400 euro instead of 700 for my 80d?? Mainly use it for architecture photography, and dont go wider than 35mm

That 14 fps sound beauty

still using the 1d x mark I so yeah the mark II should be fine :)

btw, you can go up to 16 fps, it has the ability of 4K 60p, 120p in HD, all the DPAF goodness, slight crop in 4K tho still all in FF, body is indestructible, battery is immortal, AF is extremely precise. All you need is a skill, money and a loads of processing power. I've been many times in Japan, and when it comes to professional photography no matter what the event, you see only 1DX2's and occasional D5's. Not to mention it's 4 years old, but still beats basically every pro camera on the market. Release of a new beast for Olympics is irrelevant. No pro will trust a brand new hardly tested camera, while they still have reliable sure thing to get the job done - 1DX2.

I have that same duo and love them

Nice presentation.

Aperture mode u was in?

may be a foolish question but with photography at this level, do you typically rely on the autofocus or manually adjust?

this camera is a beast!

I have a question and am wondering if someone can help me , i have a 5D mk4 and when i preview my pics on the rear screen i think it shows a processed jpeg which doesnt represent the true quality of the Raw image taken ! Does anyone know how to show the actual image on the rear screen , im doing night shots of Vivid light show and need to be able to adjust settings for timelapse vids ! Thanks in advance

Hey man, do you use Creative styles? Or can you share with me your editing style?

Great vid & great place to shoot 😁

Great video :)

Is this camera good for beauty KZfaq videos? I just need something where I sit in front of and look stunning... 😅

This is my dream camera. I think i need to stop dreaming about this camera because this camera is so expensive. 😥

Really nice review, moments specially with kids touched me, #Ascertain

great video!

It’s relevant, for body builders

hello video which camera and lens have you taken with the brand and model of the author?

How well is it with landscape Pictures?

It's like asking whether oxygen is relevant to life......

me watching this is 2022... considering this camera I currently have a 6D

Photography is like many things: It's the person doing the work. The camera is just ... Well, it's just the tool or rather the extension. ^^ Still, I'd rather go for mirrorless and something ... Aside from Canon tbh. Spec wise - yes, this is contrary to what I said before - they disappointed me (for the price they charge). And for me, the speed does not matter at all. I do take my time on the shots I make. I plan them out and I only do planned shots (landscape, star trails, etc) when I do unplanned shots, I usually do not need fast cameras as well ... So yeah. Still, 1DX is a great camera ^^

20mp is enough and will be enough for quite a while longer.

More camera reviews please!

If I had 5 racks I would cop this.😄😁 Not fully breaking down specs, because it's already talked about.🤣 +1

I’m surprised it only has 20mp. I own the 5D IV and it has 30mp. I always thought the 1DX II would be better in every way.

nice photos bro

Can I know you're battery mph And how much sd card can I insert it

The question "Is XYZ camera still relevant in 20XX?" makes sense only when the camera being discussed has had at least 2-3 upgraded versions released... Canon 5D mkI or mkII, Nikon D7100 etc. come to mind. This still relevant video concept is starting to get overused. What's next, Sony A9 or Panasonic S1 being relevant in end-2019?

What a behemoth... Had a 7D until a few months ago, switched to the M50. I don't want anything with a mirror, ever again...

I shot Canon for ten years and about a year ago switched to the SONY a9. For $3,500.00 go it the a9 TRUST!!!

Funny part kids sounds good 😂😂 ooh no they are not sound good in picture they look good 😂😂😂 I love this review if you do too give me some likes 👏

This camera came out 3 years ago

The butt 😂😂

Dream camera.Amazing color science.

Im surprised I didnt see more of the " its not a Mirrorless, Its so heavy, It doesnt have IBIS, Its soooooo big! " commments.

Cannon EOS- 1Ds Mark II is the Best Camera in the World

Thank you for the review

I thought the question was not why would anyone buy this in 2019 but what choices a professional photographer has. This is not a selfy camera. Total cost with lense and all gears could go well and truly over $10K.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I've had a 1D mark iv for ages and was considering the jump to the 1DX or even the mkii. However, after MUCH research, I went for the Sony A9 with native 70-200 f2.8. The superior tracking, autofocus with 693 points, eye AF, (animal eye AF as firmware update in the summer), silent shooting, EVF, 1/32000 and flip screen for low / high angle shots were among the reasons for the switch. I will always have a soft spot for Canon as I've been with them for over 25 years but, times change. I wish Canon had produced something like the A9 but sadly, there's no sign of that at present.

It's a great camera, but the 5D IV is a better choice for most Canon shooters.

Stupid title haha. Any camera that came out after 2012 is still relevant.

Save your time the answer is yes

Relevant in a vacuum, yes. The Mark 3 is coming in 2020 though.

This is clickbait. Everyone that knows anything about cameras knows that the 1Dx ii will be one of the toughest, most durable, most versatile and high performing cameras around for many years to come.

1:50 lol here comes the r5 to prove you wrong

It’s one of the three flagship digital camera bodies I used to own, and the least favorite one to me. May be still relevant to many but definitely irrelevant to me in 2019.
