Canon has previously announced that EOS-1D X will be release in mid-2012 but according to sources it seems that the release date will be delayed until July. According to CanonRumors, blame being placed on battery approval in Japan, FCC approval in the United States, production issues with certain parts of the camera, serious firmware issues that had to be resolved to name a few.
Canon has kept the issues very close to the vest and very few people know the exact reasons.
EOS-1D X is Canons’ latest flagship professional DSLR. The 18MP camera is built around a full-frame sensor capable of shooting at up to 14 frames per second (12fps with AF), allowing it to replace both the 1D Mark IV and 1DS Mark III in Canon's lineup.

ReplyDeleteNot accurate, CR didn't state those as they reason for the delays, it was conjecture on their part.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the camera was scheduled to be releases in April, not when if was first announced last October.
It is delayed about 2-3 months, not 8. I believe the camera will be released to the public sometime in July after pros get their fair share.
