Thanks.
Yes I was very lucky and got it at a very cheap price.
It was an order that was cancelled I think so I bargained with them in light of the new 1DX II release and they preferred to sell it rather than send it back.

The 1DX II is fantastic too but a bit out of my reach.
I've heard from some that they're having issues with the CFast card on the Mk II, storing some corrupt files intermittently.
I'm sure it will be sorted out soon via firmware updates.

Meanwhile I'm ecstatic with the 1DX, I'd like to try some bird and wildlife shots too.
Two CF cards and 12 fps RAW plus all those cross-type AF points, sublime.

I do want to hook it up to the scope, being FF I'm going to let it rip on the TOA 150.

Cheers
