When it comes to being first to test photo gear, online media such as DPReview typically has the upper hand; after all they don’t have to wait till a housing manufacturer obliges by giving the camera in question a suitable underwater proofing. But in the case of reviewing the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, DPG’s retail partner (and the world’s largest underwater imaging equipment supplier), Backscatter, managed to impress enough to be asked by DPReview for permission to reproduce the article on its website.

The 1D X II is put to the test in Nauticam’s NA-1DXII housing, and being Canon’s flagship full-frame 4K-capable DSLR, Backscatter also gives their take on how its video-taking abilities compare with those of the likes of Sony’s a7R Mark II and RED’s Epic Dragon.
