Canon EOS-1D X vs Canon EOS Rebel SL3

It's got some cool takeoff shots. When it came to action, the autofocus in this camera was just amazing. What's great about something like the 1DX ser...

For the type of video you're doing, I prefer the Canon. The autofocus is smoother and you can scrub footage to review it, which is really important. The Sony has weird old VCR-style controls to review footage and it means sometimes I don't catch problems I need to know about soon enough to refilm.

My Mark III was a color nightmare. CONS: The 1Dx will NOT auto focus with my Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L lens WITH my Canon 1

Love the fact that I can use legacy Canon lenses or the newest, as my budget allows. I got the 18-55 STM kit lens and it is a fine starter lens, especially for video (wide angle since the camera crops, especially with 4K video), it's silent, fast and relatively accurate. I also got a "nifty fifty" prime Canon 50mm lens that is Super for portraits and just to walk around with taking photos. I also got a Canon EF-S 55-250mm STM lens for excellent shots of RC planes in the air far away

At 1600 ISO the 1DX was 1/2 stop ahead of the 5DII in terms of noise and detail rendition. I expected it to be 2 stops cleaner at 1600 ISO, or equivalent to 400 ISO on the 5DII. Also, 4000 ISO images weren't much different than at 1600 ISO. Noise was fairly constant in this range

Let's talk a little bit about the processor and with the SL 3 Canon opted for the newer digit 8 processor. This is one of the upgrades from the SL 2, ...

It is a heavy camera. I use a Cotton Carrier hand strap and the Cotton Carrier Camera System (a sort of vest holding my 1DX and my Canon 5 D.) In the past year there was one recall. I sent the camera back to Canon and they said "preventive measures have been applied

Not even close. But keep the cost in mind. Keep the weight in mind. Mostly, keep that fabulous Digic 8 processor in mind

I noticed them the first couple of days I used it. I don't know if I should contact Amazon or Canon to get the sensor cleaned.

I know that it sounds like I'm just mentioning a lot of the same things that the SL2 had. And that's because in this review a lot of the same stuff is...
