Not much for the price, low pixels, expect to have WIFI. Got two and returned them. The first one, froze upon first time using it, no function was working and had to take out the battery to make it work again, it had high ISO performance. Second one, was working fine, but the ISO was not exceptional as expected, its ISO was same as cheap ones, so I returned. I expect Canon to do something toward their production line, and add more features for the price.
I’ve only had this camera for a week and already my customers are raving about how awesome my photos looks. Yes, I consider myself a pro and so that has to do a lot about it but there’s a HUGE difference between my Canon 5DM2 (which has been my working camera for the past 10 years) and my 1DXM2. I’m totally enjoying this camera. The clarity is just amazing.
I am so blessed to have this amazing blend of technical engineering and artwork. Beyond excited to finally own one for myself! I can’t imagine the things I will be able to accomplish with this gift!!!
I've had the 1D X II for almost two years now. It is the most powerful camera I've ever used. It's 14fps are insane: I'm still not use to it. The DualPixel AF is amazing, it's enabled be to get shots I couldn't before. The GPS is a nice function to map with in Lightroom. The battery life is solid, the build quality is second to none. The real 4K video is astounding, my personal favorite is the 1080 @ 120fps. The inclusion of a headphone jack this time around is much appreciated. The LCD screen is great & the touch screen for focusing is a great option. The CFast card recording is very very fast, and allows long burst rates and 4K 30fps video. My only issue is the audio jack, it has a little white noise. However, I run my mic through a preamp now & it sounds perfect. Very happy with the 1D X II.
As my skillset and involvement with photography increased, I steadily moved up the Canon camera line from Rebel to 7D then 5D Mark III and then a few months back, up to the 1D X Mark II. I primarily shoot sports & wildlife, and this camera excels at both. It is a bit on the heavy side, especially with a long telephoto lens, but not unmanageable--and if can handle it w/o real issue at 4'10", then you can as well. I absolutely adore this camera--the autofocus is amazingly fast, and it excels in low light.. My pictures pop even more now. It also feels really comfortable in my hands. My go to setup is almost always this camera with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, and it has never failed me. I do not shoot video, so I can't address that aspect. The one thing that my 5D had that the 1D X Mark II does not have is the ability to use SD cards. However the CF Fast card speed is phenomenal--just wish those cards were not so expensive.
I picked this camera up a few months ago and it is awesome! The specs, features, and power work to your advantage whether shooting stills or as a video camera (with a few drawbacks). I suggest you read/watch the reviews already out there.
My only gripe is that they use two different card slots (CF and CFast) and I think there should be a upgrade/mod available to make them the same (preferably 2 CFast slots).
I bought this camera to shoot sports for it's fps, build, low light performance and auto focus. What I did not expect was the excellent image quality. Best camera body I have ever had.

Yes! What a beautiful piece of art you will hold in your hands to capture more art. I absolutely love my new camera and all of my Canon lenses fit it perfectly.
