Pocket Lint: Various put-backs and delays had plagued the Canon EOS 1D X's path to the shelves, but Canon was in no rush to put out an inferior product. After all this is touted to be the world's best full-frame professional DSLR camera, as its near-£5000 body-only price clearly asserts.
NRM: "After discovering a DSLR camera on the bed of the Pacific Ocean while scuba diving, Markus Thompson managed to return the camera to its owner via the use of Google+.
He was diving off the coast of Vancouver, in Deep Bay, when he came across a Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera. Markus recovered the images on the SD card, discovering not only that the files were still fully intact, but that the camera had been lying on the ocean bed for over a year."
Stick a piece of gaffer tape over the unmistakable X, and Canon's latest EOS-1D pro-level camera will look virtually identical to every 1D model that came before it. But once you flip up the power slider, this new king of the jungle will hum like no other.
