Wildlife and the EOS-1D X Mark II - Canon

Jonathan and Angela Scott are multi award-winning wildlife photographers based in Kenya. These Canon Ambassadors set out on safari with the new EOS-1D X Mark II. This is their story.

[@jonfreeze]

I love how they keep the techy talk to a minimum, their excitement about how they are able to capture this beauty makes it even more inspirational. Great job Canon!!

[@stubones]

6 years after release I've ordered a low shutter count body for work . I had an original 1DX for three years and I've used the mkii several times. A great camera that still stacks up for working pros.

[@CheekSteve]

Very surprised by the capabilities of the camera but even more by the lifestyle of this couple...

[@DeanoDamario]

How is it if I may ask?

[@Bushmaster1954]

I agree, the Happy Couple...using their amazing Canon 1DX maark ii! I envy them very much! 👌🤗😅

[@TheProphetsMessages]

One of the best video i have ever seen in KZbin.

[@Darth-TBAG]

This couple’s lifestyle is so amazing, give them a film camera and they’ll still produce amazing images. Moral of the story: chase the story, not the technology.

[@chrisl6022]

Thank you Johnathan and Angela for your outstanding great work with the wild life programs and stunning photos and video footage. Thank you for allowing us to see the beautiful wild world of Africa through your eyes....and through the amazing canon 1DXMII..... Johnathan, you have been working hard and relentless for years in this part pf the world to make is safer and to protect the natural habitat, we thank you for that. All the best and looking forward to more spectacular photos and videos with your work.

[@tainoakc8956]

When u have a basic ass rebel camera and you already want a 1dx mark 2

[@JakeIrish]

I remember a time when the rebel was considered top notch and everyone wanted it.

[@SerafeimZormpas]

be grateful for what you got others can't even afford that. You can create wonderful imagery using that just be creative

[@djmikecamocampbell]

Got myne 14 month ago, I’ve never looked back, I know this is a strange saying but the price is bargain for what this camera can achieve, it has shot my work right up into the stratosphere

[@plantxvibe9571]

dude i been shooting on 12 year old 500d . so am thinking of buying canon 6d mark 2 or 1dx mark i (2012) used i want that feel of a camera

[@emiliogoncalves8994]

what a sensor.... 12.000 ISO ,noise free ,so sharp This's my dream câmera 📷😮

[@Highlander_142]

Beautiful people, beautiful animals, beautiful cameras and beautiful video! I enjoyed watching it... Regards

[@stevenrix7277]

I'm so close to getting a 1DX MK II with a 600mm.

[@simonettaingiuliano7155]

Steven Rix Rip wallet

[@vaper1986]

did you get it yet?

[@sthalxndr]

if he hasn't responded yet , then he probably did. had to sacrifice internet.

[@vaper1986]

Black White Guy In America yea probably.

[@The_Catalin]

I think I've just felt in love with this camera.

[@notpaperproductions]

Canon! Send these guys the new Mark III! I would love to see an updated video. Love these two.

[@midtownstunts]

Just bought it, can't wait to start using it :D

[@dantalked]

luckyyy - this is my dream camera. currently stuck with a panasonic g7 hahaha

[@CosmoVlog]

This is my literal dream cameta!! Currently shooting on the rebel t6 as it's the only thing I could afford being in college

[@faizrehman6159]

Undoubtedly Canon EOS 1DX Mk2 is a superb camera. Just love to see the images clicked by this camera.

[@BrendenJohnFilms]

What a great review/video! Really enjoyed every aspect of it...

[@RickyLJones]

Amazing, just amazing! Wished you guys would do your own travel/photograph show, kinda like what Art Wolfe did many years ago. You hear that Canon?!!?

[@bonnystarks]

I will never have that much money to buy lenses and 1dxMii to shoot lions in africa :'( life is hard...

[@yreyez]

Yeah man.

[@lolsa123]

renting a camera body in sweden is expencive, for an D5 it is about 200$ a day.

[@KestonMoore]

Maybe save up and not just expect it

[@telemaq76]

and people in africa will never have money to buy your cellphone :)

[@hujhygf2252]

telemaq76 Just so you know, there are plenty of rich people in Africa. There are actually at least 5 billionaires and countless millionaires. Most Africans have a smartphone. Read some REAL news every once in a while.

[@jonathancortizo9098]

Awesome camera review. Was this video shot on the 1DX Mark II? And if so in which picture profile? I'm really interested in the 1DX Mark II's video capabilities. Thanks!

[@robcoyle691]

Outstanding.

[@the_sandancer]

Absolutely love this video. The 1Dx MkII is my dream camera. I will one day upgrade from my 7D MKII to such, and that day can’t come quick enough!

[@ravichander479]

excellent video and iam amazed by the camera's low light shooting, iam buying the cannon 1Dx mark ii

[@ff7u830]

Love the Camera!!!

[@dr.muhammadayyubkhan4523]

Beautiful photography. I am impressed with your photographic passion.

[@elisamongarli9294]

I want it😍📸

[@JakeIrish]

Driving to NYC today to purchase this bad boy.

[@CameraOnFilmsCoUk]

Great feature piece on this camera superbly presented by these excellent professionals

[@akoslumnitzer5262]

I love my 1Dx MkII; it's an incredible camera. I have no problem using it in dud light at ISO10,000 and can push up to ISO51,200 to get acceptable quality images under the most trying circumstances.

[@X_explorer]

Fantastic vid! I like watching earth, discover and relax...

[@mclarenf1V12]

Just got back from the same park with the 1DX. Loved it!!! great Video!!!

[@MurreyMurage95]

Beautiful Kenya 😍 My motherland!

[@ellisguerrero212]

*I just photographed some squirrels in my backyard......smh* 😒

[@iiGravityy]

gotta start somewhere.

[@orion2250]

I just hit the resolution wall on my trusty 60D. 400 mm. With 640 effective i shot a building about a mile away and am able to resolve a exterior stairwell easily but not as sharp as usual.

[@johnhjic2]

What a very nice review. But it does show what a difference good glass makes. Swell as been talented photographer / people. Thanks for sharing.

[@abrahamjoffe9361]

nice to hear you enjoyed it John. it was a pleasure producing this for Canon and working with the legendary Scotts

[@angelaandjonathanscott8862]

Hi John - glad you enjoyed the video - it was amazing working with AJ and his crew from Australia - best TV crew we ever worked with and that is saying something having shot all those shows with BBC/Animal Planet. All the best - Jonathan and Angie

[@johnhjic2]

I think your last line about working with a good crew is just so true. It does help and it make life fun.

[@artlikeus]

One of my biggest desires is to travel to Africa & take shots of the Lions in their natural habitats & watching this & being able to see the Love and excitement you guys had about this camera. I cannot wait until I make the dream a reality. I only hope to run into you two while i'm there.

[@abdulazizalghamdi9846]

I am impressed with the results published on dxomark related to this camera.

[@on-the-bank]

wow great people and great camera

[@amangill1983]

Did Canon send you Canon Mark III? Most amazing Camera ever built. If you have, please share your thoughts on the same.

[@greenlifefilmnowak4585]

Great short film, and grat people! Is all this film recorded only with canon 1dx mark II or other cameras also? If used only 1dx m2 it will be nice to know what picture profile was used (because of lack a c-log in this camera)?

[@craigdlazarus]

Absolutely fantastic!!

[@DigitalSamTV]

wonderful. reminds me of my work in africa and makes me want to go back!

[@kennikuhlmann-clark9860]

**** I heard good news!: EOS 1DX Mark II to get the same C-Log update option too! Thank you Canon! ****

[@kh.g4049]

Kenni Kuhlmann-Clark really?

[@MrZnoier]

Amazing!! What camcorders using in this film? Very interesting, dynamic range is awesome)

[@abhilawvlogs]

That's amazing. I think the super low light performance can help to take good images even with a lens having smaller apertures (generally bit cheaper lenses)!!

[@carloslovrinchevich8924]

No se si quedarme con la cámara o con la veterana !!!

[@Kdooley101]

A stunning video.

[@samcreel]

Tales by Light!

[@Built4Anything]

Sam Garcia I really loved that documentary!

[@sunilmistry4800]

which lenses were you using? the sharpness is simply unbelievable.

[@juangarand]

Alucinante 👏🏻👏🏻😀

[@jordan116327]

This camera is a beast! But waiting for the 5d mark 4 to see what it'll have under its sleeve.

[@alfredoirizarry8277]

Thanks for sharing! I'm getting one very soon!

[@sunnykiri3]

Amazing great review great crew

[@jjesquivel]

What kind of lenses to take picture to those people no light? Do you know?

[@hautemarnepassion]

superbe reportage !!!

[@danmorgan9447]

Amazing story!!

[@tttuangsuante]

fantastic photography..

[@NoMoreForeignWars]

Canon: Makes a giant 5000 dollar camera - puts a tiny 3 inch screen on the back.

[@Cephasine]

I wish I could have one for Christmas

[@sandeepjat.youtube]

really really nice camera but problem is that we can't afford it😑

[@skylerlivingston]

Most amazing camera I have owned!

[@johancarlberg1530]

4000€ If i had that money i would buy a 1Dx too

[@boudewijnj.m.kegels5198]

or maybe €6400? for body only. No C4K out (resulting in expensive fast memory cards!), only HD, No fullframe C4K, horrible big filesizes (800MB/s!), no specific low light performer... etc.

[@GeorgiTombashki]

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRFEEEEECTTTTTTTT!!!!!! :) :) :)

[@stefantotev]

Great video, but the theatricality about how great this new camera is, comes too much. The 1Dx Mark 1 can achieve 95% the same results and I am pretty sure it was their previous camera of choice.

[@AGH331]

It's a promotional video by Canon - did you expect them to tell you to NOT buy their new camera because the last one can do almost the same? ;)

[@eliaspap8708]

Is there a silent shutter mode?? I’m not sure 🤔 my Fuji XH1 is super stealth don’t hear a thing, perfect for wild life

[@CanonEurope]

Hi Elias, silent single and silent HS continuous modes are available for this camera. Although not completely silent, this softens the noise.

[@eliaspap8708]

Canon Europe yes I know i still have a Canon IDx but i won’t be upgrading to the mk2 or mk3 my hand gets sore carrying all that weight around on 12-14 hour weddings, I will be definitely getting more mirrorless options see what Canon can offer soon otherwise im happy with Fuji so far everything is som much more lightweight.

[@alexanderkibasov662]

Amazing job

[@lukasknutsson]

Just wonderful😍

[@tunghoangthanh1811]

It's monster, unbelievavle

[@dbltr2128]

It's magnificent

[@madaraofficiel676]

What lens?

[@kortbebbington4826]

I'm sat here with my Canon 700D and a Sigma 70-200 f5.6 just dreaming of getting gear like they have in the video. Don't get me wrong my setup still gives good photos but the lens limits the resolution of the photo and the camera itself is so slow compared to this and he was exactly right in saying there are split second moments and tbh at 5fps I barely catch squirrels mid air or song birds in flight even if I predict the moment. Someone buy me some gear and I'll put out better photos than most of these I bet!

[@pawsitivepaws7077]

what camera was this video filmed with?

[@mjsbiggestfan1997]

What lens are they using?

[@NicoSchrenk]

What camera has the video been shot with?

[@WTG194]

what camera did they use to shoot this?

[@and42m]

Hi Well done for this promotion, I enjoyed it, I been twice to Africa and been a canon user since 40 years, I own a 5D MKiii and what to update to a 1Dx MKii or a 5D Mark iv having the 30 mega pixels will help with reach for my 300 F2.8 L MKii but what about image quality ? what should i purchase please, thanks Andre from Malta

[@naturefootsteps3886]

I would suggest a 5dm4 and 300f2.8 m2.. 300f2.8m2 is a jewel.. If you have money left after buying 300mm, think of 5dm4 or 1dx2 and decide according to your wallet.. Both are good

[@and42m]

I thank you for your great help take care and enjoy

[@vfxathome]

Wow! Wish my 750d could do that :D

[@Izoel21]

They have found the secret of beautiful life..

[@vamp9190]

Do I switch from Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm lens?

[@CJamesPhoto]

Thats a great combo you have, but if you can justify the cost of the 1dx and get a lens to replace yours then go for it... but I dont think you will br gaining much more.

[@seraphin01]

great vid and all but to be fair am a bit surprised on the sharpness of the pictures towards the end with the flies on the lion and such.. I own a 1DXmkII so I know it's a fantastic cam but it's still only 20MP and the sharpness isn't its best attribute when you start zooming in the frame... soooo was that really pulled out of the camera or something.. I dunno feels a bit too sharp to be true and it's a canon official video so yeah.. actually EVERYTHING else was perfect, just this one picture makes me tick a bit.. and on the other hand I really feel jealous of that couple to be living there AND working as photographer full time there... I've been there and it's just magical..

[@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542]

Christophe Paitrault agreed it looks like it was Fake you can do it with the Sony 7 series 5ds canon series Sony 42 mega pixels or canon 50 mega pixels it's a bit off ??sorry looks like an over kill but 1dx Mk II camera is awesome or it was shot as 4K crop image and edited later.

[@naturefootsteps3886]

I own a 1dx II and used 300f2.8 and 600mm with it.. It is ultra sharp if shot with a support. try shooting at f9-f11..

[@sergioortiz8219]

It looks like they're able to get very close to the animals, so between that and having a 600 mm lens, yeah, it's probably an actual picture.

[@the_sandancer]

Sharpness is not always the megapixel count, but the glass you put in front of the sensor. Put excellent lenses onto that sensor in the right hands, your gonna get excellent images

[@pduffy421]

Amazing camera! Well outside my price range sadly.

[@blaster3602]

I LOVE THE CAMERA I JUST DON'T WANNA KNOW THE PRICE OF IT 😅😥😣

[@naturefootsteps3886]

Hi, I need help for playback of 4K 60fps videos from Canon 1Dx mark II and 5D mark IV, on my Macbook pro. Its a i7 machine, with 16GB RAM, so I don't have doubt on the capabilities of the laptop. They hang a lot and don't play smooth. Even the 30fps 4K files aren't smooth. The videos are heavy but they play on other older Windows Machines, but not here. Whats the codec to be used for playback of these files? Or what player should I use which has all the playback capability?

[@Team_399]

GPU on your MacBook Pro?

[@naturefootsteps3886]

It worked smooth with EOS Movie Utility software.

[@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652]

i wanna upgrate up my tool help me to make my choice - 1dx mark ii or 5 d mark 4

[@MrShawncarter99]

my dream camera that I can't afford

[@kannannair2700]

This camera is insanely crazy 😂

[@carlosg9207]

they never going to say in what camera this video was shoot because is not a canon brand, people keep asking and they just ignore it. don't be fool by this video, was shoot with a difference camera

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

Carlos G if I’m not mistaken the cinematographer that shot the whole series (Tales by Light) said on instagram he used the C300II and 1DC for the majority of the series. All Canon though.

[@DarkHero1998]

Wow thats a stunning Video. But.. Who is paying the money for me? :D

[@mootikpin1665]

There are two nikon shooters watched this video

[@jl644]

make that 3

[@BruceLeroyUK]

4

[@rishiA7x]

I shoot Nikon n I liked this. Only fanboys who cant get over how good this is would dislike it.

[@shamiksanyaldop]

I shoot nikon but I love canon

[@lolsa123]

haha, i shoot with a nikon d800 :D but it would have been fun to have an canon 1dx with suiting lenses either way ;) same goes, i would love to have an D5 too, but those are expencive cameras :p

[@fanthevoicekh2]

i'm very like this camera

[@sanketmore2172]

amazing😍

[@falconius27]

3,000 or 4,000 $ the lens. Excellent camera but excellent lens too

[@petitwhite6366]

I want one, I'll work really hard to make it happen.

[@bevanherold8782]

amazing

[@danieljasitczak6239]

which lenses you use on this video ?

[@falconius27]

Daniel Jasitczak it costs more than camera

[@rajeshvelappan8396]

what type of zoom lens ur using please?

[@WorldofThaiFood]

They're using the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM and also the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1,4x if I'm not mistaken.

[@planetesx]

Company canon Russia behaves very unprofessional. Breached the contract to repair the unit by 145 days. my support requests did not help. I also began to block social networks when trying to describe the situation. Reputation canon does not cost anything.

[@justanotherguycommenting5754]

I was scared the shutter noise would scare it

[@wahyunugroho5867]

Ini adalah impian saya semoga saya bisa mempunyai kamera canon yang dapat mendukung ketertarikan saya dengan fotografi alam liar

[@raww8223]

wow. please send me 50,000 for new gear and plane tickets! Superb work! ! a dream!

[@viggohinnerson8810]

fuck yeah

[@panoramictv9249]

If only i had $5000 to spare..

[@RespecttheScreenplay]
