October 18, 2011: Canon has released details of a new flagship model for the EOS 1-series of digital SLR cameras, the EOS-1D X.
Superseding the EOS-1D Mark IV and the EOS-1Ds Mark III, the EOS-1D X is seen as the ultimate tool for all professional photographers, offering both excellent image quality and unparalleled speed in one camera. The new camera features an 18.1-megapixel Full-Frame CMOS sensor and boasts an ultra-fast shutter release time and AF continuous shooting of 12 frames per second (fps). It is designed to suit a wide range of professional applications from sport, photojournalism and nature photography through to studio, fashion and wedding/portrait work. It can also capture Full HD movies and complies with video industry standards.
Also announced today are the GP-E1 Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver for EOS, and the WFT-E6 Wireless File Transmitter unit, enabling functions such as time synchronisation between cameras.
