File spanning, timecode, March 2012 release date.

Sensor:

New photodiode construction has resulted in an improved photoelectric conversion rate that gives increased light sensitivity.
Improved transistors inside the pixels are said to make SNR higher

The first time that gapless microlenses have been employed on a Canon full-frame sensor.

14fps speed is achieved by a 16-channel analog output with two-vertical-pixel simultaneous readout. The 16 outputs are muxed in 4 ADCs siting on a separate image processor chip Digic 5+.
It is around 1.4 times faster than the previous generation EOS-1D Mark IV and said to be a first for a 35mm full-frame digital sensor. At ISO 32,000 or higher the frame rate is reduced to 10fps.

Looks weird.

In this case it is just official specs, but released in Japan time.

$7000... but no 1080p60. All Intra frames codec sounds very familiar.

EOSHD

I think the Japanese press agency leaked it a bit too soon :) Expect official announcement any moment.

Andrew, where did you find "no aliasing, no moire" part?

cosimo_bullo

"All Intra frames codec sounds very familiar." Yes! Have driftwood been unwittingly researching for Canon! Sounds great, and I'm looking forward, but this is many months away.

Canon 1D X marketing poster:

Last of it's kind.

Best exhibit for your home museum.

new file splitting function allows for continuous video recording up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds across multiple 4GB files

Sounds like not all idiots in Canon are exterminated.
Saving few bucks on European tax for $7000 camera. Nuts.

I'm kinda excited to see the video samples from this camera. At least it sounds like video mode has had an overhaul

Vitaliy_Kiselev

The 1D X offers two compression options, including 'All-I,' a very low compression format that offers high image quality and editability but at the cost of immense files (a 16Gb card will hold around 6 minutes of footage). The alternative is a more standard IPB compression that takes up around 1/12th of the space

Bitrate seems to be very large. 30Mb/s in IPB and 355Mb/s in I?

cosimo_bullo

355 Mb/s??? Holy Crap!

I remember a few months ago when people though we were crazy for pushing low/no-gop... :)

Still... why is there no 60fps mode in 1080p? This just doesn't make any sense.

Vitaliy_Kiselev

>why is there no 60fps mode in 1080p? This just doesn't make any sense

This is full frame sensor.
Can't handle necessary readout speed, I think.
If you fast forward few years you'll see why Nikon used so small sensor and why m43 will have video advantage.

PixCanFly

This camera is pretty wow. just saw this little video from Canon.

lolodigital

what about dynamic range ? for me,it is the from now most important feature to add to new cam ...
it seems to be the same as 5DM2 ...

@Vitaliy_Kiselev "Can't handle necessary readout speed, I think."

I thought bigger sensors (surface area) would allow faster heat dissipation? I mean it's reading out 60fps already... just in 720p mode. ???

Is that canon link Pixcanfly linked was shot with the 1dx?
If so I can see plenty of alaising/moire..some shots are conveniently out of focus to hide it also.
Could be shot with something else though....like 7d or mk5 II
I could get excited about this camera but like all full frame cameras with video its too expensive/bulky for me.
One for Canon posers methinks...or those who like to piss money up a wall just because its "pro"

stip

I haven't read "no moire" anywhere, just "less moire than any Canon DSLR before".
I suspect the linked video was shot on 1Dx, it wouldn't make much sense to show point of view footage from another camera?! Optional codecs is a good sign.

Marketing poster made me laugh :)

nomad

Well, "less moire than any Canon DSLR before" isn't hard to do…

But then, even the FS100/F3 has some.

GOODEMPIRE

I like it. Maybe it's too early to say.

Wow, specs look pretty awesome. I didn't see anything regarding color space. I wonder if the high bitrate I-Frame format is still 420.

Brian202020

if it's 422 and the aliasing an moire are on par with the GH2, I might sell my GH2 and AF100.
