Does anyone know if the 1D-X allows the user to freely select the aperture in 12 FPS mode while maintaining continues AF functionality? If so, then for sure this feature alone is worth the $5000 premium over the Sony A77 ;-)[/quote]
Yes, no restriction in 12 fps mode for 1DX. See [url="http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/technical/eos_1d_x_explained.do"]http://cpn.canon-eur..._x_explained.do[/url]
Restriction only applies in 14 fps mode. Mirror lock-up with no AF.

[size="2"][color="#000000"]- It is the first time that gapless microlenses have been employed on a Canon full-frame sensor and they are one key piece of the puzzle that opens up the high ISO capabilities of the camera. (Explains why the 1Ds3 is merely 0.5 stop better than 7D at high ISO)
- The newly designed CMOS circuits have also been designed to capture a wider dynamic range, meaning more detail is retained in both shadows and highlights in comparison to previous cameras. Wooohooo!
- at ISO 32,000 or higher the frame rate will be reduced to 10fps
- This EOS iSA System is also used to improve the accuracy of white balance settings.... They are also evident when shooting under low colour temperature light sources like tungsten lighting. In the past, these scenes could produce very yellow or orange images. However, with the EOS-1D X this is much reduced, resulting in more natural looking images.
- The AF Microadjustment in the EOS-1D X has been made easier to use and more comprehensive. It is now able to detect a lens' serial number so you can make an adjustment by each specific lens.
- with the EOS-1D X it's now possible to make adjustments for both the wideangle and telephoto settings of a zoom lens. This will help to ensure that whatever focal length you use with a zoom, your images are accurately focused.[/color][/size]
