Latest Canon D-series Lineup

As predicted, Canon has announced its new flagship DSLR, the launch of the EOS 1D X

The latest in Canon’s D-series lineup is combining the high-speed shooting and fast processing features the series is known for as well as bumping up the specs considerably. This 18MP camera is built around a full-frame CMOS sensor capable of shooting at up to 14 frames per second (12fps with AF), allowing it to replace both the 1D Mark IV and 1DS Mark III in Canon's lineup. Despite looking like previous 1D cameras, it's been extensively reworked (it includes more professional video features than any other Canon DSLR).



A quick look at what this thing is packing:

* 61-point AF system
* 1 GB Ethernet port
* Three DIGIC image processors
* Up to 12 fps RAW shooting
* 18-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
* ISO 100-51,200 (in standard range)



The 1D X won't be available until March 2012, all that will cost you: $6,800 to be exact.
