# Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is a 20-megapixel full-frame DSLR flagship camera, announced on February 1, 2016, by Canon with an MSRP of US$5,999.00. It is the successor to the Canon EOS-1D X, which was released in 2012.
On January 6, 2020, Canon introduced the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III as the successor to the EOS-1D X Mark II.

## Features

New features over the Canon EOS-1D X are:
* DCI 4K (4096×2160) with up to 60 fps (59.94 fps) up to 29'59" (4K can only be recorded internally in MJPEG, the HDMI output is limited to 1080p)
* Continuous shooting rate of up to 14 frames per second with full autofocus; 16 fps in live view with locked focus and exposure. These rates are available when using the new LP-E19 battery. The EOS-1D X Mk II accepts the LP-E4N batteries of the Mk I and LP-E4 batteries of the 1D Mark IV, but burst mode reverts to the Mk I maximum of 12/14 fps.
* Full HD video (1920×1080) up to 120 fps (119.9 fps)
* All AF points support to a maximum aperture of f/8
* Digital lens optimizer for JPEG shooting.
* AI Servo AF III
* Continuous red illumination of all AF points
* Support for CFast (a variant of CompactFlash) memory cards
* Built-in GPS used for geotag information and syncing to UTC time
* One additional stop of ISO range with it being expandable to 409600
* Anti-flicker feature (introduced with the EOS 7D Mark II) – camera can be set to adjust the moment of exposure to compensate for flickering electric lighting
* A touchscreen LCD, which allows videographers to select the camera's AF point before and during video recording.
* Wi-Fi for wireless file transfer (with wireless transmitter)
