I bought a canon 1DX for less than £400 a year ago with just under one million shutter count still going strong these cameras are work horses ,One thing you did not mention was that canon no longer repair this camera and spare parts are hard to come by but still a good review.

Ah good to know, I wasn't aware they no longer support repairs.

Yes, I came to say this, don't overpay for these, as parts are scarce, still an awesome camera, just buy with the knowledge that if it fails, repairs can be difficult or impossible, depending on what fails.....

Mr. 5-0!, I'm sitting here watching your video through the OVF of my new-to-me E-1 thinking how feaking lucky we are to love old cameras! And really how good these guys were.

As you mentioned, the "low" megapixel count is not an issue. With quality lenses + good photography skills, this camera excels in almost any situation. I've used various DSLRs over the years, and this was the first one that truly felt capable of handling "anything, for anyone, anywhere, at any time", as long as we're talking about stills, not video. I also love the sturdy build, you could probably physically defend yourself with it if needed! My only hesitation would be if I were still shooting professionally every day. Carrying this body along with a 70-200mm lens for 8 hours straight could be a bit much. But for occasional shoots, the weight and build are actually a plus, and the image quality at most ISO levels is still VERY impressive, even today. Plus, you can find this camera used in most countries for a fraction of what modern gear costs.

Agreed! The incredibly sturdy build is quite nice! When it comes to weight I am getting use to carrying increasingly heavy slightly unnecessary cameras haha so I'm usually quite happy with the 1Dx for the day! And yeah the price of them now is awesome! It's honestly doubley great when you consider how much you can pick one up for!

Hi, I enjoyed your video on the Canon 1Dx, I have the Canon 1DC. I think it has the same photo specs.

Nice! Yeah they look like they have very similar sensors. How do you like the 1DC?

@@Mr50mmish I use it mainly for video, stills are the same as the 1DX, but the video is really good almost film like, as the digital noise looks more like film grain.

Yes the 1Dc is 100% the same camera, the only difference is the firmware ! And no, you cannot put 1Dc firmware on a 1Dx, I think Canon serialized the circuit boards to accept the 'correct' firmware only.

My 1dx is the camera I bring when I absolutely need to get the shot. It’s a tank, utterly reliable, and really easily to process files. I beat the crap out of it and it still keeps going. You could use this and a 5dsr and there is no form of photography you can’t do.

Agreed! Bulletproof! 5Dsr would be awesome! If I could ever find one for a good price I'd probably give it a go, honestly it's not a camera that was on my radar, almost forgot about Canon's High Res DSLR.

@@Mr50mmish for the price now it’s worth trying. There’s nothing like it in canons lineup. It has a AA cancelling that maximizes sharpness and with 50mp sensor it’s crazy. Colors are excellent as well. I keep a 1dx, 5d classic, and 5dsr because they are all so fun and unique
