    • The camera's image sensor is a single-plate complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-based integrated circuit. It has approximately 8.5 million total pixels. It has an RGB primary Bayer filter. A non-removable anti-aliasing filter (optical low-pass filter) is located in front of the image sensor.

    The shutter is an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter. Its maximum speed is 1/8,000 of one second. Soft-touch shutter release occurs via an electromagnetic signal.

    EOS-1D Mark II N

    On August 22, 2005, Canon announced the successor to the EOS 1D Mark II. The new Canon EOS-1D Mark II N features the same 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC II image processor and 8.5 frame per second shooting speed of its predecessor. The primary changes are a new 2.5" wide viewing angle LCD monitor, an improved buffer, and new 'Picture Style' image parameters.
