We have 3 5DIIIs and a 1DX. While I agree that 5DIII is more than enough for a wedding camera, the 1DX does have its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
- Slightly cleaner. Not a stop, but 6400 does look cleaner. This is also a result of more accurate metering. Mute if you shoot M 100%.
- Buffer is amazing when shooting high action moments.
- Servo is more accurate.
- Files do seem slightly more punchy out of camera.
- Auto WB is almost perfect.
Disadvantages
- Heavy & large. Love the 5DIII w/35 without a grip when shooting prep or editorial. Less questions about the huge camera.
- Cost. I'd rather have two 5DIIIs over one 1DX.
I wouldn't buy it for its ISO or focusing advantages. While the 1DX is better in most categories, its not enough to really justify the cost/size.
