  • 6 fps (11 fps is the maximum possible fps with the current shutter)
  • Few video improvements
  • Price should be few hundred dollars above the existing Nikon D4 (currently listed for $5996.95).
  • Announcement expected in fall of 2013

Canon 1D X Comparison

Canon 1D X Comparison via DxO Labs

However, stepping away from the numbers, the Canon 1D X is a heckuva camera that can certainly hold its own in just about any shooting environment.

What do you think about the DxO score and comparisons for the Canon 1D X?  Would these test results sway your opinion of the camera?
