I. OVERVIEW 3

The Canon EOS-1D Mark II N Digital SLR is both the successor to, and a thorough

reconsideration of, the EOS-1D Mark II camera. It preserves the speed, responsiveness,

image quality and reliability of the EOS-1D Mark II model while incorporating newly

refined features that make the camera easier to use and more precise. The N model

inherits the mantle of world’s fastest digital SLR, firing at 8.5 fps for up to 48 full-

resolution JPEGs in a burst (vs. the same firing rate and a 40 JPEG burst for the 1D Mark II

camera). It retains the superb 8.2 megapixel CMOS Sensor of the 1D Mark II camera,

with its convenient 1.3x lens conversion factor, and continues to use the DIGIC II Image

Processor for outstanding image quality. The EOS-1D Mark II

N digital SLR shares with

the “1 Series” family its all-metal body and chassis and weather-resistant construction,

and its shutter is still durability-tested to 200,000 exposures.

The new 2.5 inch, wide-angle view LCD/TFT screen brings with it larger, easier-to-see text

in 15 languages. Picture Style makes image control easier. ISO speed changes, memory

card selection and new folder creation have all been simplified. The optional Ec-S screen

makes manual focusing easier. More burst frames are now possible and burst speed

settings are more flexible. Info display is more complete. Many menus can now be

accessed during image recording. Several improvements to magnified view make focus

checking easier. Last displayed image view makes image review easier and less stressful.

User-settable file names make it easier to identify and index one’s work. Automatic

noise reduction eliminates uncertainty from low-light photography. Enhanced printing

functions will make keeping track of images easier. The result is a superb professional

photographic instrument.

The estimated selling price of the new camera, $3,999

, is actually $500 less than the

initi

al price of its predecessor. This aggressive pricing makes the EOS-1D Mark II

a terrific deal. Photographers upgrading from older or less robust equipment, or from film,

will see that the N model is the clear choice in all-around professional performance. The

great success of the camera’s predecessors is on display at any sporting event where

legions of white L Series lenses mark Canon as the overwhelming preference of
