I had no plan before receiving this 1DX mark II surprisingly from Canon Vietnam, so came up with the idea to shoot in a old building with my friend. In all, we shot within a 2-hour of time, we were moving fast between takes for different angles and actions, tested out dynamic range, low light, High ISO noise. I was extremely satisfied with this Canon 1DX mark II 4K Image Quality & Color. In the touch screen + Dual Pixel Focus make this beast unstoppable!

Thank Canon Vietnam for sponsoring the Canon 1DX mark II.

Could you please post in ungraded? In that way we can get a better idea of what the quality of the footage is like.
 
How do you compare the DR from C-Log to the more flat profile on the 1DXII? Any idea if the 1DXII can come close to 12 stops?
 
Thank you for posting this. If you have the time and possibility, can you definitely post the ungraded version and tell us a bit more about the dynamic range as the others members mentioned above?

Also, did you add any grain to the video?

Thank you.
 
I'd also like to see an ungraded version.

In my own tests on the 1Dc I think the 1Dx mkII will take quite a bit of under exposure (to protect some highlight information) that can be lifted in post. But that won't change the fact that Canon Log provides a completely different roll off.

Of course C-log would be more flatter in theory. 1DX II doesnt have C-Log, it's just like a DSLR. I dont have enough test equipments to test Dynamic Range.
 
He has answered a couple of questions regarding settings under the original, graded video on Vimeo.

Those noisy shots were made with Auto ISO and he thinks ISO was at least 10.000. But I agree: pretty clippy and noisy.

Let me explain more, this shot I want to test Auto ISO, then it raises up to 10,000 ISO. Also after Graded, noisy from Plugins (Film Noise) plus with original footage noise. And that's what you saw.
 
I think your video looks nice and I'm considering this camera to replace my 5DmkIII. I'm not sure I can motivate it but my 5DmkIII has stayed with me four years now so a 1DX II will probably stay as long or longer.

How did you experience things like rolling shutter in 4k? Did you try 1080p also?
 
Boring video but looks good in 4k rez. The 1080 slowmotion parts have to be looked into further as they look soft. Question is how much of the tech that will trickle down to the 5D mk4?
 
That Motocross video is one of the worst promo videos I have ever seen, I cant believe Canon thought that was ok to put out. I know a few of the filmers that film with those guys daily and they are much much better then whoever made that film.

It really does look awful, not sure what canon was thinking putting that up. This video however does a great job at illustrating all of this cameras strengths(af, iso performance, color and resolution). Congrats on a job well done Ezella, this is probably one of the best looking 1dxii clips out there. I've yet to see a dslr(other than the 1dc) that can produce an image with this kind of color thickness & detail. Wonder how the 120fps stacks up.

ps: that touch screen auto focus looks like an absolutely killer feature, can see that saving photographers/filmmakers A LOT of time.
 
Just watched the motocross video. Worst ever? It will not be recognized by the academy, but it was not that bad. Too many wide shots and a bit generic but "it really does look awful"? If the 1DX mk I could have made this video people would have hit the roof.
