Canon EOS-1D mark II N Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.33 (out of 10)
Review: "Canon maintains its pro leadership with its 8-megapixel EOS-1D Mark II N, the fastest-shooting digital SLR on the market. Made for magazine photographers covering news and sports, the Mark II N also works well for portrait shooters who want a versatile, small-format digital camera. The Mark II N replaces the EOS-1D Mark II-which was already at the top of its class-and makes several useful improvements.
The photos I've taken with the Canon EOS-1D Mark II files are smooth and show almost no noise at ISO 100 and ISO 200; even ISO 400 and ISO 800 look very good. There is no sign of the banding that plagued images from the EOS-1D. As with most dSLRs, however, you must be careful not to underexpose your images."

| Tagged "world's fastest digital SLR" upon its August release, the prime selling point of Canon's 1D Mark II n is obviously its 8.5 frames per second continuous capture rate. In addition to pure speed, the camera contains an impressive processor that can handle a data stream of 22 RAW images in just over 18 seconds or nearly 40 full resolution JPEGs in roughly the same amount of time.
The relatively few photographers out there who need this kind of speed and are on the fence between Canon and Nikon (without prior lens investment) should probably buy this camera. The EOS-1D Mark II n is the fastest DSLR available, at 8.5 fps, and it has twice the resolution of the runner-up, the Nikon D2Hs. The Nikon seems to have an edge in some focusing situations, and I liked aspects of its interface better, but it's hard to argue against doubling one's resolution. If speed is less of an issue, spending another $1000 for the Nikon D2X is a viable option, with half the resolution, apparently gorgeous image quality, and a (kind of odd) 8 fps / 6 MP mode of its own.
