CANON 1DX MARK II - 1 Year Review // A Cinematographers Video Perspective

[@davidaltizer]

Amazing review! Wow! Bravo!

[@VideoCameron]

Thanks Dave! Love your videos, are you still using the 1DC?

[@TaylorMoore4K]

Oh hey, good to see you here Dave!

[@davidaltizer]

Video Cameron I sold it unfortunately 😢 but I’ve been using the EOS R with the Atomos Ninja V with 10bit canon log and LOVE IT! Plus I get continuous autofocus and a usable codec (prores) instead of the annoying MJPG! I miss that 1DC though... I’m always tempted to re purchase one lol.

[@davidaltizer]

Taylor Moore wassup Taylor!! Lol

[@VideoCameron]

Interested I may have to look into that! Sounds good, let’s hope that make a mirror less 1DX with similar capabilities

[@eugenheller4182]

I own a 1DX MK II and I got it almost exactly a year ago. I actually just wanted to watch the first minute of the Video, because there are plenty of reviews on KZbin about it. Yet, almost 20mins later I finished the Video and I am stunned. This is probably one of the most interesting and well made Camera Reviews I have seen to Date! Inspirational! Thank you Sir!

[@VideoCameron]

Hey Eugen, thanks so much, best comment yet. Hopefully I can get another out soon. How are you finding the 1DX? It's an awesome camera but I'm growing tired of it now so i'm excited for the Mark III

[@alexisc.quinonez8890]

Hey, I’m looking to purchase a 1DXMII, would you say it’s a great time or should I wait for next year when it’s anticipated cannon will announce its 1DX MII successor?

[@thepauldineen]

@@VideoCameron First, great review! Second, I have a 7D and a 7Dii. With the intro of the 1DxIII, I'm considering a used 1Dxii. When you referred to better alternatives out there , was that before the context of the 1Dxii price drop?

[@highlandmediaalba699]

I'm a bit late to the party however I've just bought a 1dx mk ii now! I was used to using the 80D for video beforehand! However your points in both pros and cons I completely agree with! You covered so many valid points and opened my eyes to some points I've not previously thought of! I'm struggling to believe how your channel is not larger cause your content is great!

[@vpan1982]

a great in-depth review... I have owned 3 1dx mark 2 cameras since the past 8 years now... and I have never failed to stop loving it for the only reason that I love Canon's Color science and how it never fails to deliver what I ever desired to get in my output. Straight out of the box, it creates wonders... Canon has never disappointed me... Thanks to your video as well which makes me believe it even more 🙂

[@Mark1871]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but I find it extremely satisfying how your eyes never seemed to frantically flicker back and forth between the actual shot and a "non-existing" script in the background, as so many other reviewers seem to do quite frequently. Absolutely outstanding and beautiful review, the 1DX MKII is definitely showing its age nowadays and it sadly makes me want to wait for the MKIII or 5D MKV.

[@VideoCameron]

Thanks so much! I guess the b-roll helps hide some of those eye movements but yeah my goal was to try and talk directly down the lens and for the most part, I think it worked.

[@aslanmatar]

박루크Luke Park thanks so much!

[@theoantoniou7002]

Yes, agree - mostly. I've been shooting with this camera for a few years now. While some might call the 4k "soft," I prefer it to other DSLR/Mirrorless 4k video which is "sharper" but distinctly more "video like." The 1dx2 4k is quite cinematic in my opinion and, as you mention, can take a fair bit of pushing around in post. The 1080p, as far as I'm concerned, is the biggest drawback of this camera. It's really awful. I sometimes output to a ninja 2 if someone really wants to acquire in HD, but the files are still nothing more than acceptable. In all this time the Canon 1dx2 hasn't skipped a beat. It's got to be one of the most reliable and solid cameras out there. (Touch wood.) And it shoots really nice stills as well! I recently also acquired a Fuji X-T3. The 4k files are also really nice, sharper, but not too video like. It's been quite a learning curve for me to handle such a small camera. Everything's there - but significantly downsized. It feels more like a toy compared to the Canon. However, as I get used to it, the Fuji will be my choice for a quick "run and gun." And, while newer single-handed gimbals are able to handle the weight of the 1dx2, the package gets heavy, VERY heavy - for me anyway. With the Fuji, it's a breeze. I think the biggest downside of all these hybrid cameras are their codecs (this seems to be improving though) and their lack of dynamic range. But this is to be expected as they are essentially stills cameras. Again, in my opinion, one can only appreciate how important dynamic range is after you shoot with a dedicated cinema camera. Thanks for a great post!

[@VideoCameron]

Yeah the 1080 isn't great and yes you're right the codecs are awful. If the 1080 was as sharp as the 4K or the 4K wasn't a bitch to edit, I would be happy. Yes the camera is super reliable and I do still love it but i'm ready for something new. Considering that Sony are apparently about to release a full frame 8K camera (or something close) I think Canon really need to step up their game on their next release, otherwise I can see them not being relevant anymore in the pro video game at all.

[@VideoCameron]

Thanks for the comment by the way, I love to hear other peoples opinion on this camera. Some days I love it, some days I really don't haha

Well done. I love the camera and look forward to buying it as a second camera. I have a 1DX that I use primarily for stills.. and will continue to do so.. and will use the Mark II as the Video camera. The Mark III looks and is incredible.. but it will also push down the price of the Mark II

[@VideoCameron]

Thank you very much! It's still a great very capable camera. I think unless you're moving into pro pro level video + a little photography here and there the MK2 is fine. Canon cameras hold their value pretty well, so I doubt we'll see the MK2 below like £2000 for a good few years for example but i'm sure it will make it slightly more affordable used

[@africanhistory]

Well they not inferior then are they if they have WiFi built in and C-Log and higher pixels. 1D is a specialist camera. 5dmk4 is more general. Sharpness is the mark of video. If you seen an Alexa it is just as soft. Film is soft, not sure why people complain. I would complain that the pics out of the camera are not as sharp as they should be.

[@VideoCameron]

Good point... Maybe the softness is a good thing

[@dee.other.artist8091]

Definitely a nice video. As a Canon shooter, I was one considering this camera. However, honestly, it’s outdated. But it’s interesting to see, how much effort Canon puts into sponsoring videos with the intention to keep their products alive (i.e. to refinance them). I am looking forward to seeing a pro mirrorless body finally.

[@VideoCameron]

I guess it depends what you need. But yes, you're right. Hopefully the 1DRX or whatever they call it gets Canon back in the game!

[@privatebydesign1808]

Great no nonsense review. However I take issue with the comment about the WFT-E8, once I am set up for a specific device I never have to re-enter the password. You only have to do that if you create a new Ad-Hoc network each time you use it, if you save your settings under any of the SET options just launch that SET and connect your device to the camera and it's done. I have one SET in memory for my phone, one for my iPad, one for my studio network when my computer will automatically detect a connected camera and launch EOS Utility etc etc. The WFT-E8 does give you way more than basic WiFi functionality with features as powerful as being able to send images via FTP to any connected device worldwide (though I suspect few users actually need that!) though I won't argue about the complexity or the price!

[@VideoCameron]

private bydesign interesting, do you use the Canon app or only through the browser? I haven’t tried the browser options yet at all. Maybe that might solve my issues I’m having?

[@privatebydesign1808]

@@VideoCameron On my phone I only use the Canon Camera Connect App, on the iPad I use the Connect App and the WFT Server function via a web browser depending on what I am trying to do. On a computer I use EOS Utility or the WFT Server function. I did once set it up for FTP transfers but don't have an internet connected server I want to do that too regularly. I also have a CamRanger and for some tasks I just find it easier with more appropriate controls (time-lapse, much greater multiple exposure controls, focus stacking etc etc) but it isn't weather sealed or a robust solution in any way. I am primarily a stills shooting generalist.

[@VideoCameron]

@@privatebydesign1808 Interesting, perhaps I need to give some of the other features ago. Is there a firmware update for the WFT adapter perhaps? I did look at the Cam Ranger but It doesn't look like the solution for what I need. And yes I have peripherals too, especially third party peripherals.

[@SpencerLupul]

Thanks for answering all my questions!! I currently own a 5D Mark IV for making youtube videos, and of course stills. I can see that your experience with the 1DX is similar to my experience with the latest 5D. Pretty good, but sometimes I am a bit choked by the performance, given where this camera is supposed to compete. How is it that not even their flagship camera is gripe-free? I'm a bit surprised actually. I don't have much an issue with the large file sizes, which seems to be a big pain point for some, but the 17:9 aspect in 4K is a bit annoying since it makes it one extra step to mix footage. It's odd to me that in a camera that is designed in a way that would make you want to use the different frame rates and resolutions, that they punish you a little for doing so. I watched your video out of lust for more from my Mark IV, yet it seems not even spending double my previous investment would solve my issues anyways. Three extra thousand bucks for 120 frames in a Canon? I may as well just buy a Sony.... sadly.

[@VideoCameron]

Yeah I suppose Canon know what they can get away with. The Sony cameras are awesome but you have to give them a try to figure out if they're for you. They also have their issues, believe me

Great review. You mention some other alternatives at the end... what would those be in your opinion? I’m on the hunt for something new.

I think the A7II is the best camera for the money at the moment

@@VideoCameron I've only used Canon..Sony glass looks to be super pricey which is scaring me away from Sony. Have you used a Canon 5d Mkiv? Any thoughts on that vs the A7 series? I shoot both photo and video.

@@jcatt5016 Gotcha, well the 5D4 is a great camera but I would only be looking at it if you're going to utilise it for stills, as that's it best feature. the 30+MP looks amazing. It's no different to the 1DX without the 120p & 4K 1.3 crop. It does have clog though, which is great,
