Like the nearly identically-sized models that came before, the EOS-1D X is massive. If you haven’t already gathered from the price tag, this isn’t the camera for your next trip to the beach or even a casual African safari — it’s absolutely geared towards pros, who care far more about speed, accuracy and image quality than physical appearance and body size. The X feels very familiar, and since we’ve shot with every pro model that Canon’s released since the 1D, we had no problem picking it up and firing off a few images without taking even a second to get accustomed. It feels heavy — and does in fact have more heft than the models that came before it — there’s no question that your arm will get quite a workout during a full day of shooting. For photographers that demand quality, however, that trade-off is expected, and quite worthwhile.
