With the new Canon 1Dx hitting stores I am wondering what the benefits of the 1Dx are over the 5D Mk3? I was going to sell my 1Ds Mk3 to buy another 5D Mk3 ( I have one now ) but dont want to miss out on anything that is useful for my work. My key questions regard:
-video IQ
-dynamic range
-file IQ
-low light noise
I know some people have received their 1Dx's but I do realize it is early on ..... just trying to see what new info is out there.

Sorry, I should have added info like that. I shoot lifestyle, so FPS matters but to tell you the truth the 5D Mk3 is fine for FPS of my needs. |

Well from the description the main differences seem to be the framerate and the built-in grip (yes on 1DX, no on 5D3). There are many other differences but they are smaller. There are some types of shooting for which these two things matter a lot. If they don't matter that much to you, then I suspect the 5D3 is the better fit for you ...

I bet the noise improvement will be a step or two forward over the 5III and hopefully the DR as well. The video too could also be better. Kevin. A look at the 2012 Olympic site http://youtu.be/TwewnWMDucw |

thanks guys. my gut tells me to stick with 5d3, the IQ difference seems minimal based on what info i have gathered. i will just buy a grip for it and pretend its a 1D series, which is what I am used to.

Frame Rate (12 vs 6) Buffer size, Significantly (apparently, I haven't dropped it in water to find out !) better weather sealing, better batteries are the big obvious differences.
IQ is good on both, I feel the 1dx has the edge with the larger pixels, but there is very little in in it.
Note: I've only done cursory tests at this point, next couple weeks in Iceland will be the telling factor.
Regards
Mark
