The Japanese camera maker has just unveiled the EOS-1D X, an addition to its professional line of high-end dSLRs. Sporting an 18.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, the new camera will feature 61 autofocus points and comes equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet connection enabling faster data transfers. Sporting a new dual DIGIC 5+ image processor, the 1D X will also have a standard ISO range of up to 51,200, which can be expanded up to 204,800.
With a price tag of US$6,800 in the US, the new camera is targeted at professional photographers, especially those shooting sports or wildlife, thanks to its fast burst-mode shooting capabilities (up to 14 frames per second). Full-HD video recording is also supported and unlike earlier models, movies are not restricted to being under 4GB in size.
The EOS-1D X will be available in Asia in the first half of 2012. Its price in this region has yet to be confirmed. Watch a video of us trying out burst mode shooting after the jump.
