The Canon EOS 1D Mark II N is essentially the same camera as its predecessor, the EOS Mark II, with one noticeable upgrade: an enhanced performance buffer, which can produce an 8 frame burst in JPEG and 22 frame burst in RAW format. This is an especially important upgrade for sports photographers and anyone regularly shooting in continuous mode.

The EOS ID Mark II N is certainly a professional's camera, with excellent image quality, a relatively low 1.3x crop factor, and a 48 image/ 8.5 fps burst. The camera has a APS-H size (28.7 x 19.1 millimeters), 8.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor is backed by a DIGIC II processor and a 45-point AF system.

With the Mark II N you can shoot in RAW and JPEG simultaneously and have the images saved on separate memory cards (CF or SD).

The EOS ID Mark II N has a strong, durable weather resistant magnesium-alloy camera body. At nearly 3 pounds for the body only, it has both the weight and feel of a solid, professional camera. The camera's 230,000 pixel LCD display with a 170-degree angle of view is another feature upgrade.




The Canon EOS 1D Mark II N has 6 major picture style pre-sets, which include standard (no post-processing required, portait (provides optimal color tone and saturation), landscape (for sharp edges and strong blues and greens), neutral (post-processing recommended), faithful (color of subject is true-top-life if color temp. below 5200K). The user can also create their own custom picture styles, or download additional styles from Canon's website.
