Canon EOS 1D Mark II N

Canon EOS 1D Mark II N

Price (MSRP): $3,999.00
Megapixel: 8.2
TYPE: Digital SLR


This professional digital SLR provides a minor upgrade to the 1D Mark II, adding a 2.5-inch LCD, a higher-capacity drive mode, enhanced playback functions and file-naming options, and a new Picture Styles feature that combines processing parameters and color matrices in easily selectable settings. It can also save images to CompactFlash and SD media simultaneously, and like its predecessor, it can save RAW and JPEG versions of an image at different resolutions. This camera is built for speed, with an exceptional 8.5fps drive mode. The Mark II N also offers excellent photo quality with very good performance at high ISO settings. It provides the broad range of image parameter adjustments that pros need, as well as a high degree of customization. Compatible with Canon's full line of EF lenses and EX-series E-TTL II Speedlites, it's built to withstand the rigors of professional photography, with a rugged, weather-resistant metal body and an integrated vertical grip. Among its notable features are multispot and AF-linked spot metering, interchangeable focusing screens, and voice annotation. Compatible accessories include Canon's DVK-E2 data verification kit and WFT-E1A wireless transmitter. The 1D Mark II N doesn't capture TIFFs, but you can process its RAW images with the included Digital Photo Professional 2.1 software.
