The EOS-1Ds Mark II is a digital SLR camera body by Canon Inc. of Japan. It was the top model in the Canon EOS line of digital cameras, with a full-frame 16.7 megapixel CMOS sensor (the highest pixel count available at the time in 2006 in a 35 mm-equivalent digital SLR). A professional grade camera body, the EOS 1Ds Mark II is large, ruggedly built, and is dust/weather-resistant.

Being an autofocus camera, it has multiple autofocus modes and uses a 45 point autofocus system , and an option for manual focusing. Its viewfinder is a "fixed pentaprism". It also has a two-inch, TFT, color LCD with approximately 230,000 pixels. Its dimensions are 156 mm in width, 157.6 mm in height, and 79.9 mm in depth (6.14 in × 6.20 in × 3.15 in). Its mass (without a battery) is 1,215 g (2 lb 10.9 oz).

The camera's image sensor is a single-plate CMOS-based integrated circuit. It has approximately 17.2 million total photosites (16.7 million effective pixels in the final output). It has an RGB primary color filter.

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 electromagnetic signaling.

On August 20, 2007, Canon announced the successor to the Mark II: the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III.
