Canon EOS-1D C Camera Revealed

Canon EOS-1D C hybrid camera


This camera features an 18.1-megapixel full frame CMOS sensor with a wide range of image acquisition options, including 4K (4096 x 2160), HD (1920 x 1080); or 18-megapixel (5184 x 3456) still images. The 4K is recorded as Motion JPEG; the HD is recorded as H.264; and the still images are recorded as RAW or JPEG. It is essentially the same camera as the EOS-1D X minus the 4K video functions and a few other cinematic features. The 1D C has a more robust heat sink to allow for better cooling of the circuitry during video operations. The two cameras share many of the Firmware codes except on the 1D X, some features and functions are 'disabled'.

So why does the EOS-1D C lists for $11,999 and the EOS-1D X lists for $6,799? In one word, scarcity. Canon knows there will be limited demand for the EOS-1D C hybrid camera so they limit it to a smaller production run. The development costs of the specialized software codes for the EOS-1D C are spread out over a smaller number of cameras as well. Therefore, the list price is much higher than the EOS-1D X. For those who are interested, you can download the Instruction Manual and take a good look at the camera's features and functions.
