>>3984845The 1D-X is a professional camera, advertised for news, sport, wildlife, high speed photography.
It's lower resolution was a tradeoff for better low light performance due to larger individual pixels which is key for speed in these areas. has the full feature set to support these goals and performs extremely well in that area, and it wasn't made for landscape, stills and art photography.
The R6 on the other hand isn't made like that, it doesn't have the feature set of the 1D-X, nor was it meant to be exclusively for professional journalists and sport photography. So it kind of ends up as a worst of both worlds scenario. It has the sensor of a professional camera, but not it's features, and since that tradeoff was made with the resolution it's more a downgrade from DSLRs from landscape and stills photography too.
I don't understand who made the decision to use the 1D-X mark III's sensor in this, perhaps it was just laziness, but it makes it an abismal purchase as it results in it being worse in every specialized use case than it's predecessors and for quite a high price too.
