The details
At a glance: Canon EOS-1D X - 18.1MP full-frame professional flagship DSLR, 12fps, 61-point AF, fully weather-sealed.
About this camera
The Canon EOS-1D X is Canon's 2012 professional flagship DSLR and the model that unified their previous split between high-speed APS-H and high-resolution full-frame 1-series bodies. An 18.1MP full-frame sensor paired with dual DIGIC 5+ processors delivered 12fps mechanical shooting (14fps with mirror locked up) in a magnesium-alloy body sealed to Canon's highest standard.

Works with

- Dual CompactFlash UDMA 7 cards
Best for
A professional sports, press and wildlife body built for reliability above all - integrated vertical grip, huge battery life, and the durability expected of a 1-series Canon. Low pixel count by modern standards, but 18MP full-frame remains ample for press and sports use and gives excellent high-ISO performance with large photosites. Note it uses CompactFlash rather than CFexpress or SD, so factor in cards.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use EF-S lenses on it?
No. EF-S lenses are designed for APS-C bodies and their rear elements protrude far enough to foul a full-frame mirror. Only EF lenses will mount.
Is 18 megapixels enough?
For sports, press and event work, comfortably - it was the professional standard for years, and the larger photosites give excellent low-light performance. If you need to crop heavily or print very large, a higher-resolution body would suit better.
What memory cards does it take?
Two CompactFlash slots (UDMA 7). It predates CFexpress and does not have an SD slot, so you will need CF cards and a compatible reader.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
