EOS-1D Mark II N Digital SLR camera

Blistering speed and super high resolution.

The Digital SLR for professionals who won’t compromise.

The World’s Fastest Digital SLR* Refined

Presenting the next generation of EOS Digital SLR Camera, the EOS-1D Mark II N. A

stunning union of professional performance and flexibility. Combining a Canon designed

CMOS sensor with the blazingly fast DiG!C II Image Processor, for incredible image quality

and near instantaneous responsiveness. Compatibility with over 50 EF Lenses and a

wide variety of accessories, plus new technologies, like the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1,

the EOS-1D Mark II N is part of the most advanced Digital SLR Camera system available

today, Canon EOS.

Canon’s new EOS-1D Mark II N can capture images at an incredible 8.5 frames per second

for up to 48 frames in a single burst. It features Canon’s proven 8.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor

with a 1.3x conversion factor, combined with the speed and intelligence of the DiG!C II Image

Processor, all in a rock-solid, magnesium alloy body.

EOS-1D Mark II N:
You Spoke, We Listened

The successor to the amazing EOS-1D Mark II,

the EOS-1D Mark II N refines every facet of the

photographic process, resulting in a faster, more fluid

experience for the photographer. Retaining the EOS-

1D Mark II’s 1.3x conversion factor and 8.2 Megapixel

CMOS sensor, sophisticated 45-point AF, 21-zone Evaluative Metering, superb build

quality and instant 0.2 second start-up time, the EOS-1D Mark II N incorporates

user-requested improvements such as an optional changeable focusing screen for

critical focus in low light and a larger 2.5 inch LCD screen which provides a bigger

image for playback, and can be viewed at 170°. ISO values can now be changed in the

viewfinder, allowing photographers to change settings without taking the camera from

their eye. The EOS-1D Mark II N features these improvements, plus all the shooting

modes of the EOS 1 line and shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 30 sec.

DiG!C II: Faster, Smarter Operation From
Start to Finish

Canon’s DiG!C II Image Processor turns information captured by

the CMOS sensor into images of exceptional clarity and resolution.

Photographers can expect precise, natural colour with smooth,

lifelike gradations, spot-on white balance and speed in any number of

lighting situations. By handling larger volumes of image data, the DiG!C II Image Processor

also contributes to lower power consumption: about 1200 shots can be taken on a full

battery under normal conditions.

Photographs can be recorded as JPEG images, RAW images, or both simultaneously

— with unprecedented control over image quality. Canon’s newly developed proprietary

CR2 RAW type compression method offers tremendous image quality, with rich 12-bit

gradation and lossless image compression. Perfect for critical applications, amazing

results can be achieved when processing Canon’s RAW images on a computer.

Fast Capture, Faster Processing

As the “1” designation has always been used for the flagship models in the EOS line, Canon

has made no compromises with the construction and performance of the EOS-1D Mark II N.

Photographers can expect an exceptional degree of performance and reliability on par with

any film camera they’ve ever used. In addition to lightning-fast 45-point AF, sophisticated

tracking, predictive AF technology, and precise, instant metering, no matter the setting,

the EOS-1D Mark II N can shoot 8.5 JPEG images for up to 48 shots in a single burst, and

at least 22 consecutive RAW images. Shutter lag is a responsive 55 milliseconds. Starting

up in 0.2 sec, the EOS-1D Mark II N demonstrates its speed immediately. The revolutionary

DiG!C II Image Processor complements the EOS-1D Mark II N’s speed in capturing images

by processing and saving them with corresponding speed and precision.

The Result is Clear

The EOS-1D Mark II N has been designed to provide the photographer with instant

feedback, saving valuable time when reviewing images. A new 2.5 inch LCD screen with

approximately 230,000 pixels not only displays more information, it can also be viewed

from a far greater angle than many other conventional LCD screens (170°). Magnification

to check exposure and critical focus has never been faster, and whether changing colour

parameters, setting up custom functions, organising folders, setting white balance, or any

other feature, the new screen is designed with the professional in mind. Photographers

get to their information quickly, so they never lose a shot.

Rugged Build Quality, Total Flexibility

Photographers have come to expect stellar images from Canon Digital SLRs. And along

with excellent optics, powerful processors and smooth sensors, Canon Digital SLRs are

complemented by renowned build quality for ergonomic and reliable operation, whether

in the studio or the field. EOS-1 series cameras have rigid,

well-coated magnesium alloy bodies, as well as being dust-proof

and weather-resistant for shooting in even the most inclement

conditions. In addition, the shutters are designed to endure 200,000

cycles. With newly strengthened accessory shoes, electromagnetic

shielding to help reduce noise, all in elegant, durable bodies, these

SLRs are a pleasure to hold and use.

More Options for the Way You Work

The EOS-1D Mark II N is one of the easiest cameras to customise to a photographer’s

personal style of shooting. Six new “Picture Style” settings simulate the characteristics

of different film styles, and allow the ‘look’ of their images to be determined. The Picture

Style options include Standard mode, for punchy, print-from-the-camera colour, Portrait

mode, for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall

sharpness, plus Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customised to emulate

colour filters used with black and white film. In addition to such a high degree of control,

Picture Style also allows photographers to achieve consistent image output when using

multiple cameras, so less time needs to be spent on the computer and more time can

be enjoyed taking pictures.

Add Canon’s new interchangeable matte focusing screens, proven Custom and Personal

functions, two card slots (one for CompactFlash (CF) and one for Secure Digital (SD)

memory cards) with the ability to record JPEG and RAW image on different memory

cards, simultaneously, and it’s clear that the EOS-1D Mark II N is an incredibly adaptable

photographic tool.
