Amazing review! Wow! Bravo!
Thanks Dave! Love your videos, are you still using the 1DC?
Oh hey, good to see you here Dave!
Video Cameron I sold it unfortunately 😢 but I’ve been using the EOS R with the Atomos Ninja V with 10bit canon log and LOVE IT! Plus I get continuous autofocus and a usable codec (prores) instead of the annoying MJPG!
I miss that 1DC though... I’m always tempted to re purchase one lol.
Taylor Moore wassup Taylor!! Lol
Interested I may have to look into that! Sounds good, let’s hope that make a mirror less 1DX with similar capabilities
I own a 1DX MK II and I got it almost exactly a year ago. I actually just wanted to watch the first minute of the Video, because there are plenty of reviews on RUclips about it. Yet, almost 20mins later I finished the Video and I am stunned.
This is probably one of the most interesting and well made Camera Reviews I have seen to Date!
Inspirational! Thank you Sir!
Hey Eugen, thanks so much, best comment yet. Hopefully I can get another out soon. How are you finding the 1DX? It's an awesome camera but I'm growing tired of it now so i'm excited for the Mark III
Hey, I’m looking to purchase a 1DXMII, would you say it’s a great time or should I wait for next year when it’s anticipated cannon will announce its 1DX MII successor?
@@VideoCameron Out of curiosity why are you growing tired of it, do you think it is a good investment going to into 2020?
This is not just a review but a cinematic masterpiece 👌👌🤙
Nicole Bee so true!
@@jfs_films thanks so much! Comments like this make it worth it
This is the best camera review I have seen on RUclips! Amazing work
HB Thank for the feedback! Check out Phillip Blooms reviews, you’ll love them
I agree 👍
The worst part of the camera is that YOU HAVE 250 SUBS. Instead of 2.5million subs!!!!
Great content bro!
Haha thanks!
@@VideoCameron hi. About to get the mkii. Please tell me about the built in microphone. I want to use it to catalogue my images. Thanks
I watch a lot of camera reviews - this is one of the best I've ever seen. It seems more Philip Bloom than Philip Bloom himself
Ahaha exactly! Thanks for what watching
Finally a proper review that does not start with a guy telling me about what kinda of coffee he hates... thank you!
A cinematic beauty! A masterpiece of brevity, smarts, depth, and thoroughness. A culturally relevant short film made for an iconic camera: brilliant! Bravo to you sir.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll be sure to make more
I'm a bit late to the party however I've just bought a 1dx mk ii now! I was used to using the 80D for video beforehand! However your points in both pros and cons I completely agree with! You covered so many valid points and opened my eyes to some points I've not previously thought of! I'm struggling to believe how your channel is not larger cause your content is great!
a great in-depth review... I have owned 3 1dx mark 2 cameras since the past 8 years now... and I have never failed to stop loving it for the only reason that I love Canon's Color science and how it never fails to deliver what I ever desired to get in my output. Straight out of the box, it creates wonders... Canon has never disappointed me... Thanks to your video as well which makes me believe it even more 🙂
This video was created with pure talent and knowledge.
Masterpiece that cant be duplicated.
Just perfection.
Well done.
Thanks so much!
This review is just way to insane for this platform. A cinematographic masterpiece!
haha thanks mate!
Dude, you're reviews are so chill and easy to follow...Most reviews last for 5 min and only give you are spec rundown. Good Work!
Eduard Cojocaru Chill and detailed is what I aim for 👌🏻 thanks for the comment!
OMG you are the best camera reviewer I have ever seen I hope you make more and gain subscribers!!!!
Hey Peirs, thanks so much for the awesome comment. I'm going to be trying to do a video every two weeks, so subscribe for more.
this is problably the best review of the 1dxii that i ever saw. Congrats for this amazing video! you should do more
Rodrick HD thanks so much!!
This is one of the best reviews i have ever seen on RUclips. Your shots are also amazing.
Keep going !
Thanks so much!!
One of the best reviews on youtube. Thorough explanation with well timed examples, rather than 1 hour of a person sitting there and giving an opinion with no evidence.
Thanks mate!
1DXII owner as well. Crazy that I sat through the entire video anyways! Great video. Very in depth and well executed. Addresses everything that bothers me about this camera.
ArzuCreates thanks for the comment & I’m glad that you agree
Whatttt 400sub?? This is a masterpiece.. love this!! You deserved millions of subscribers
박루크Luke Park thanks so much!
one of my favorite review vids about this camera. thanks for making this
Kotodama Midnight thanks for watching!
Kotodama Midnight so true !
I am touched by your honesty
Silencer Recker Thanks 😂
Thought I came for a basic review, I left with an awesome video that has sold me on the 1DX Mark 2. Time to save up. Ha ha ha!
Thanks for watching, the mark III just got announced so it should go down in price
@@VideoCameron First, great review!
Second, I have a 7D and a 7Dii. With the intro of the 1DxIII, I'm considering a used 1Dxii. When you referred to better alternatives out there , was that before the context of the 1Dxii price drop?
Incredible video!, The best camera review I have ever seen!.
You should make reviews and tutorials, you're channel will blow up!.
Hey! thank you so much. I promise to keep at it!
This is a well made in-depth review! It covered quite a few things I was wondering about and things I had not considered. Thank you!
Awwh thanks for the comment!
I've owned it for two years now and I just watched this for the first time. You just made me fall in love with my camera again.
I'm glad! Thanks for watching!
Great edit and a music chosen. I'm deeply thinking about GREATEST life questions that touch me instead of focusing on specs!!! Well done...!!!
HAHA Love it, thanks for watching
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but I find it extremely satisfying how your eyes never seemed to frantically flicker back and forth between the actual shot and a "non-existing" script in the background, as so many other reviewers seem to do quite frequently. Absolutely outstanding and beautiful review, the 1DX MKII is definitely showing its age nowadays and it sadly makes me want to wait for the MKIII or 5D MKV.
Thanks so much! I guess the b-roll helps hide some of those eye movements but yeah my goal was to try and talk directly down the lens and for the most part, I think it worked.
Absolutely brilliant presentation. So well done!
(Yes. I came back to watch it all over again 🙂)
Thank you so much
I got the camera I bought it brand-newJust curious I watch this review after using the camera nearly a year this is one of the best reviews ever I have ever Watched thank you bro
Bardhi Blloshmi you’re welcome, thanks for watching
Love this video of yours dude, from content to it's quality 💯
domenick amiana thanks so much!
2.59k subscribers what a shame absolutely shame. one of the best youtubers of all time. the best review I have seen by any category
excellent video and a lot of info, good review, i will wait for markiii version with better bit rate and c log
Not sure why you only had 403 Subscribers (Now 404) but 5 minutes in and couldn't stop watching this review. Terrific job...
Jason-Manchester thank you so much, I guess it’s early days right? Thanks for for watching
Thats the first full 20 minute video i sat through without jumping forward in along time 👏👏👏 well done and thank you! Subbed
thanks very much!
This is the best 1DXii video on RUclips, both the content, but equally production, fabulous, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done, no idea where you came from but youtube has recommended this to me (not in the market for - or googling any canon gear these days)
I watched the whole thing, which, i think you know is a high-five to you and what you made.
Who knows, if you ever get into gear reviews, this channel could Bloom..
Hey Alex, thanks so much for the comment. I've be watching youtube for years so I thought it was time to get involved. I have a few more video planned so keep an eye out. And was that a Phillip Bloom Pun? ha
The better camera review I have ever watched, definitely. Congratulations dude.
iNeoEon thank so much!
Man this is friggin great. So clean, crazy helpful, and very much you.
Thanks so much Kyle! I appreciate the kind words. I'd love to see you review the A7III.
Yes I really love that look 💪🏼
This is the best camera review I've seen. Great job.
Hey! Thanks so much. Subscribe for more reviews!
Awesome review. I have used the 1dx for just over a week. I like it a lot and I appreciate your insights.
Thanks Jarrell! How are you finding it? Just checked out your channel, great content!
Video Cameron I love it. I stepped up from a 5dm3 so it was a big leap in terms of features. I do wish canon would innovate faster or not handicap their top of the line DSLR. Other than that I just need more time on the camera. That’s why I appreciate your review.
@@jarrellpeak3705 Yeah it's annoying right? They're my favourite camera system going but their technology is a little behind. Let's hope the 1DX Mark III is the camera we all want.
Love. The. Video. Hope you gain more subs, you work is awesome 😎
Thanks for watching!
Your review is probably the best one out there. I’m watching it after having pre ordered a Mark III. And almost everything you mention as a con in this camera that needs fixing is a Check for Mark III. Now I’m even more excited about it hehe. Looking forward to your MIII review.
Thank you very much, yes I’m also excited for the MK3! Hopefully I can get it soon and do another review
Your reviews are sick. Just subscribed
Thanks so much!
Awesome review dude, really nicely shot too. appreciate the effort you put into this man it came out great.
Dillon Osborne thanks so much, I was scared people would get bored as it’s quite long to be fair there’s s
a lot to talk about
Video Cameron naaa dude it’s the nature of those kinda videos. People who want the info to help make a purchase or thode interested in gear will watch that stuff 👊🏻
You, sir, are the master of organization ♡
thanks!
Hey Cam, thanks for a brilliant review mate - my main stills camera took a rather hard fall last week and I have been shopping for a replacement. I have been thinking the EOS-R will be a better fit for my hybrid style and to intercut with my C100s but it took your review to take a second hand 1DXMII off the table. Cheers!
the EOS R is probably a more sensible camera yes!
You should have had waaaaaaaaay more than just 1k followers. Great content, sufficient info depicted in a cinematic way. Keep it up brother!
Thanks very much! ^ that's exactly what I intended. I think 1K subs makes sense considering i've only really made 1 real pro video. The 1DX is also quite a niche camera, so as I make more, hopefully I get more!
@@VideoCameron I am looking forward to upcoming contents, specially the EOS R.
yoooooo awesome video man! just subscribed. ❤ hope to see more dope content
Thanks so much! More on the way
I own this camera and your review is truly excellent.
Thank you.
Thanks so much! It's a great camera right? I'm looking forward the MKIII
Refreshing review. I've been in the habit of setting videos to 1.5 speed & skipping through parts, for the sake of time. However, it felt right to slow down to listen in without any modification. Calming tone and great information.
Thanks.
Thanks!!
Wow, amazing video. it was filmed and edited perfectly. you answered all of my questions in such an understanding and informative way. Thank you keep at it man👌subscribed
Thanks so much! I used the 1DC for a few years before using the 1DX so I've gotten to know the camera pretty well. Thanks for watching
E X C E L L E N T review, content, presentation. Well done! Thank you!!
Just about to get a second hand 1dx II and this is just a superb video!
Enjoy!
I’m your 500th subscriber!! Much love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦😍🤠💯
Wooooo! Thanks for the sub & comment!
Brilliantly made video. So to the point, no fuss.
Thanks for watching!
Probably the best camera review on youtube 👏🏻
Greg thanks so much!!
This is the Best Review in RUclips .

excellent video and a lot of good info, i wait for mark iii version with c log and better bit rate output
Thanks for the comment. Yeah lets hope that happens
I love your review just wow incredible just incredible
Excellent review - very helpful - thanks
Very welcome
You did a really top job with this review and put me off buying the 1D X II. I think i’ll wait for the successor. Cheers
Thanks so much & good choice
Fantastic review, I am checking this camera out for purchase in 2022. Cheers
Very cheap to purchase today 😀
Well done. I love the camera and look forward to buying it as a second camera. I have a 1DX that I use primarily for stills.. and will continue to do so.. and will use the Mark II as the Video camera. The Mark III looks and is incredible.. but it will also push down the price of the Mark II
Thank you very much! It's still a great very capable camera. I think unless you're moving into pro pro level video + a little photography here and there the MK2 is fine. Canon cameras hold their value pretty well, so I doubt we'll see the MK2 below like £2000 for a good few years for example but i'm sure it will make it slightly more affordable used
Best review i ever hear in this listen way 👏👏👏👏
thanks!
Definitely a nice video. As a Canon shooter, I was one considering this camera. However, honestly, it’s outdated. But it’s interesting to see, how much effort Canon puts into sponsoring videos with the intention to keep their products alive (i.e. to refinance them). I am looking forward to seeing a pro mirrorless body finally.
I guess it depends what you need. But yes, you're right. Hopefully the 1DRX or whatever they call it gets Canon back in the game!
I live right where you do! Also really nice video dude.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant professional review, great style and content
thanks very much!
Why don't you have more subs, this is an excellent review and the editing is done nicely!
Thank so much! So this is my first review, so it’s early days 👌🏻
Best review of camera on the youtube
Thank you!
More amazing than the review is the mans voice+ music choice. Wow
Daniel Booter haha Thanks! I totally ripped off Phillip Bloom for this one 😎
i just love this video so chill
캐캐묵은먼지 so chill is what I aim for 👌🏻thanks for watching
How in the actual fuck don’t you have more subscribers! Keep it up man this is the BEST review I’ve ever seen; most reviews I find are super boring. This was a great one!
Gonzalo Cisneros hey, thanks so much for the comment. I’ve only released one real video so I think 1.1k is about right haha
I have bought the 1dxii in 2019 it's an amazing machine for years!
It really is but is for sure starting to show it's age!
1dx mk iii bro👌
Awesome in-depth review!
Andrew Lukins Thanks Lukins!
Well done. Best I've seen. Subbed. Good luck and thanks.
Thanks so much!
beautiful piece of work man. Hands down this is one of the best videos on RUclips I have watched if not the best.

I also have 1DX mark II, Your review is so so nice!
Thanks so much!!
This is a great review man... I really enjoyed it from start to finish. You thinking of getting the 1DX3 when it comes out next year or will you keep the mark II?
I think will get the 1DIII in time but it really has to be for a good price
@@VideoCameron Agreed. I am hoping they dont have a video crop. That is my #1 concern.
Awesome video bro! You nailed it! I want a 1dx now 😂
Thanks Matt! Let's do another video soon.

Video Cameron don’t take more time to upload videos, also your layout and description is very detailed, clear and well organized
@@fispen875 Thanks very much! I should have the next review by next week. I'm trying to post every 2 weeks.
Awesome review!
Leon thanks!
Great review. You mention some other alternatives at the end... what would those be in your opinion? I’m on the hunt for something new.
I think the A7II is the best camera for the money at the moment
@@VideoCameron I've only used Canon..Sony glass looks to be super pricey which is scaring me away from Sony. Have you used a Canon 5d Mkiv? Any thoughts on that vs the A7 series? I shoot both photo and video.
@@jcatt5016 Gotcha, well the 5D4 is a great camera but I would only be looking at it if you're going to utilise it for stills, as that's it best feature. the 30+MP looks amazing. It's no different to the 1DX without the 120p & 4K 1.3 crop. It does have clog though, which is great,
Unbelievable review! Great work
Thanks so much!
Thanks for answering all my questions!! I currently own a 5D Mark IV for making youtube videos, and of course stills. I can see that your experience with the 1DX is similar to my experience with the latest 5D. Pretty good, but sometimes I am a bit choked by the performance, given where this camera is supposed to compete. How is it that not even their flagship camera is gripe-free? I'm a bit surprised actually. I don't have much an issue with the large file sizes, which seems to be a big pain point for some, but the 17:9 aspect in 4K is a bit annoying since it makes it one extra step to mix footage. It's odd to me that in a camera that is designed in a way that would make you want to use the different frame rates and resolutions, that they punish you a little for doing so. I watched your video out of lust for more from my Mark IV, yet it seems not even spending double my previous investment would solve my issues anyways. Three extra thousand bucks for 120 frames in a Canon? I may as well just buy a Sony.... sadly.
Yeah I suppose Canon know what they can get away with. The Sony cameras are awesome but you have to give them a try to figure out if they're for you. They also have their issues, believe me
I’ve had mine now for 3yrs ,still learning how to get the best results.
Exactly! I’m still learning mine too
fantastic review!!! Love my 1dx best camera ive owned
Justin Henton thanks so much! It’s awesome
Excellent video. Cheers.
90s Punk Rock Covers thanks!
Spot on with the crazy expensive wifi adapter and the setup every time to use it is a huge pain, totally agree. Canon could easily update the firmware to fix so many issues.
It should be better right? Let's hope we get a firmware improvement soon
