A MUST CAMERA
Purchased this camera about 2 months ago. Took it to the Bahamas. Shot photos at 4:30 in the morning and the ISO did such a great job photos came out looking like it was in the middle of the day.
As far as action shooting it surpassed what I thought the camera would do. Crystal clear photos and has allowed me to finally get the shots I have been looking for. Used to use the EOS 50D and upgraded to this camera and will regret spending the money. Only downside is no auto for those of you who are used to using the auto option. Myself I don't use auto. If you want to get serious about shooting this camera will make you learn to shoot in manual. The controls are great as far as adjusting shots on the fly. The change of the controls allow for this to be done very quickly with minimal time. Love being able to turn camera sideways and shoot with shutter button in same spot as tho I was shooting horizontally.

EOS-1D X Purchase
I have had a few months to learn this camera. I find that it is the very best Canon Professional Camera to date. The build and image quality is superb. The menu system is failry simple, but one may need some practice to use it fast and confidently. This is my third Canon camera and my second digital Canon camera. The only issues with the camera, which I deem negligble are its weight, cannot access highlight and shadow information at the same time, and a bit noisy when using video.
Also, I wish it were completely compatible with the earlier 1.4 and 2.0 extenders. Especially, when they are used with the earlier 200mm and 400mm 2.8 L lenses . This is the best digital camera, I have ever used.

Great Body
The day I received my 1DX I had to cover a volleyball game for the local paper. I had just enough time to charge 1 battery and head out the door. That evening I considered sending it back, I was sick, all my shots were back focused or totaly blurry. After reading over the manual and working with the camera (not under deadline) i have fallen in love with the beast. It took several weeks to figure out all the bells and wistles and there are still more to master. The new firmware updates also helped the focus issues. For those who think it is heavey, all 1 series bodies are about the same weight. The images this camera makes are so much better than any other camera body I was using before. The usable ISO range is also a big help, I can shoot in dark arenas at 25,000 ISO and get images that are as good as 1600 ISO from my 1DMK2N. This is the camera I was hoping Canon would build and they finaly did.
