Canon EOS 1D II announced

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just ran into this: http://www.luite.com/temp/1DmkII.pdf

A new version of the 1D,
highlights:
8.2 Megapixels
8.5 fps with a burst of 40 !!!!!! shots in JPEG mode.
new Digic-II sensor
takes both compact flash as well as Secure Digital
supports the new EF-S lenses (like the Digital Rebel)
Firewire, USB-1.1 and video out connections

Expected launch is in April.


The PDF is in french unfortunately, so someone that's better in french than me feel free to translate it. I couldn't find anything on Canon's site yet.

Update: someone went through the hassle of translating the PDFs here

$4500 is what we are expecting . It is a really nice camera , much better than the 10d or digital rebel .




Well for that price it had better be since you could buy 4 300D kits and an additional lens for that price.

The lens conversion will also move from 1.6 to 1.3... wonder where it will be priced...



The 1D has always had a 1.3 multiplier. The extra speed and buffer are really nice, but it's probably going to be a big heavy camera, built like a tank. Not something I'd want to strap to my head anytime soon, but I'm sure there are those who will.
