I came out of the Khutzeymateen last Friday to the message I had been hoping for, after over a month of delays, the much anticipated Canon 1DX Mark II has arrived – too bad I didn’t have it for my trip.

I have only taken a few test shots with it so far, and my first thoughts are “man it’s fast”. With a CFAST card I am able to get over 100 shots before the camera starts to slow at all.  This is compared to about 35 that I can get with my 1dx and CF Card.

Look for a post in the next week or two where I put the two cameras head to head.
