Imaging Resource posted their comprehensive review of Canon’s new flagship, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, aka the “biggest, burliest and best Canon DSLR for sports, action and wildlife“.

From the conclusion:

[…] it’s big, it’s heavy, and it’s expensive, but the Canon 1DX Mark II is the best Canon DSLR for sports, action, wildlife, or photojournalism. The 20MP resolution is a slight increase from the earlier 1DX, but it might not suit those commercial photographers who need mountains of megapixels. However, for everything else, the Canon 1DX Mark II’s images are right on the money. Images look great, and dynamic range is excellent. High ISO performance is also top-notch, and the versatile autofocus and incredible burst shooting performance will not disappoint or slow you down. Read the review…
