Stick a piece of gaffer tape over the unmistakable X, and Canon's latest EOS-1D pro-level camera will look virtually identical to every 1D model that came before it. But once you flip up the power slider, this new king of the jungle will hum like no other. Canon's phenomenally powerful EOS-1D X really sounds like the DSLR to rule them all. Its 18 megapixel full-frame sensor uses oversized pixels to battle noise and is supported by a pair of Digic 5+ imaging processors, which also help drive a 61-point high density reticular AF system, a top ISO setting of 204,000 (51,200 native), a 252-zone metering system, a 14 fps JPEG (or 12 fps RAW) burst mode and a built-in wired gigabit LAN connection, for remote shooting and image transfer. ...........

I was reading about it last night. Clearly they made a ton of improvements. I really like the new autofocus features (although wish the intelligent system applied to shooting other topics than people), the promise of lower noise figure, built-in Ethernet and such. Misses are not having GPS built-in given the high prices here and availability in every phone.

Clearly one of the most important pro body introductions for Canon in a long time.
