Which individual feature of the new 1D X do you find to be the most satisfying or disappointing for you?
With the specs and feature set of the 1D X announced, I have arbitrarily picked 10 features (5 pro & 5 con) that I think represent the major changes in the new 1D X. I have left out the performance of the new AF & metering systems because they are impossible to gauge simply on specs alone but are assumed to be better and no one should complain about improved AF & metering.
Remember, this Poll is to pick the one individual feature that \'makes or breaks it\' for you!

Hmmmm.. hard to pick just one. I picked AF, but should have picked price... I\'ll remember to vote early and often next time..
Since I\'m not a Canon fanboy and will call it like I see it, regardless of what someone thinks is politically correct, here goes. I also know my opinion and $5.00 will get me a cup of coffee, so it is what it is but it\'s (1Dx) not for me right now...
HUGE CON - an updated FF 1D (or a 1Ds Mark II) for a stupidly high price in 2012? Crappy USD (over valued Yen?) aside, this is over priced. Since it\'s not even shipping for more than 6 months we can only speculate on its real worth, but it won\'t ripen with age. this camera, even with the updated features, should be in the $3.5 to $4k range, not almost $7k...
Pro - I like FF, so that\'s great. We now have an updated 1DS Mark II.
\"meh\" -FPS is far beyond what I need on the most challenging day. I\'ve been fine with 10 FPS capability for a while, and don\'t even use it... not a Pro if you won\'t use it but I\'m sure some will.
\"meh\" - Video - cute, nothing more..if it cost $0.05 to implement, it\'s a con to me, otherwise like every other Canon video offering it\'s a \"so what\"...
\"meh\" -ISO 2 million or whatever..Right now I see this as a joke with Canon trying to beat Nikon on \"specsmanship\". Not a real pro beyond a reasonable level (may vary by person), and possibly a -5 points if it\'s ineffective. Time will tell if it really works and perhaps I\'ll change my impression..
CON - (not mentioned, but...) the GPS not built in.
CON - Lens AF performance has been dumbed down.. WTF are they thinking? Perhaps they\'re waiting to restore the feature many of us have used for years on the mark II version; that way they can charge us again for it.. Unless I read a logical reason for the removal, I\'ll assume it was yet another of Canon\'s famous product differentiators.
