Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

One user called the EOS-1D X Mark II a dream camera, bought after an eight-year wait. Viewers praised sample video shots as lovely. Another commenter said HD file quality seemed soso and was the one thing holding them back from buying. A Canon EOS 70D owner said they would sorely miss their camera's articulated screen on this body. That same viewer still believed the 1D X Mark II's video capability is great overall. Other comments centered on technical questions rather than clear opinions. One asked whether a 160MB/s CFast card can handle 4K 60fps recording at 800Mbps. Another asked whether footage stabilization came from a Ronin-M gimbal or extra cinemilled parts. Together the comments show excitement mixed with specific concerns about screen design and video file quality.
