THE CANON 1Dx – Understanding the New Flagship Camera

Recently Canon announced their latest flagship camera, the 1Dx that aims to blend the 1Ds full frame series of cameras with the AF and speed of the 1D series.

Canon has released 3 articles that cover some of the more exciting aspects of this new camera. Check them out if you wish to learn more…..
