I don't understand why you guys are arguing this. 1dc is a cinema camera. The 1dxii is not. Sounds like justifying a purchase to me. Just be careful with how you guys argue these things unless you're using these cameras in actual professional shooting environments. I can tell you from experience that shooting with a dslr in a set environment again kinda sucks. DSLRs were never supposed to be used on set. We just made them work. 
 
Cant argue with that image tho and c log on the 1dc looks better than any of the other C cameras in my opinion. 

DPR is talking about RAW stills. Video DR is completely different story.
See this review:
Basically, 1DX II is noisier in the shadow than 1DC in video mode.

One advanced trick I use when grading C-log is to pull a luminance key and gently desaturate the highlight.

You can contact Movcam directly if you want to purchase the rig.

Nice images, what's your setup like?

Handheld with a zacuto EVF. I really love the small size of it  especially for this run and gun type shooting.

I wish Canon would offer a major firmware update for 1DC sometime in the future, just like what they did to original 7D.

I did a comparison between 1DC and 1DX II a while back, turned out that 1DC has better image quality than 1DX II (lower noise, better DR)
 

check your operating system for any ICC/ICM profiles and completely remove them all, reexport and reupload.

Only A6300 comes close in terms of autofocus

Audio: stick to reference quality headphones. Speakers will sound different in different environments.
External monitor: FSI BM090, small, colour accurate and can be fully calibrated.

Atomos makes some, that's the shortest you can get.

Rolling shutter is about 50% of 1DC.

This is a non-scientific but comprehensive comparison of 1DC and 1DX II video quality. The 1DX II was kindly provided by Toronto based photographer Paul O'Neil
We tested sharpness/resolution as well as dynamic range and noise performance. Two cameras were setup side by side and kept the same exposure and white balance, videos were recorded at the same time to avoid lighting variance. Lenses were both Canon 24-70 f2.8L II, at f5.6 for optimal performance.
For sharpness/resolution comparison, we used neutral profile with 0, -4, -2, 0 setting.
Please view the following images using the FULL SIZE option.
Test scene:


Results: 1DC and 1DX II have the same sharpness in HD 24/25/30p (same sensor readout). In 50/60p, 1DX II is sharper (better sensor readout) and it kept the same sharpness at 100/120p. Super 35 mode on 1DC remains the sharpest and most detailed 1080p of all modes. Two cameras have the same sharpness in 4K.
Test scenes:


Results: in neutral profile with -4 contrast, 1DC and 1DX II have about the same amount of DR, however 1DX II is nosier in the shadow (more chroma noise). 1DC in C-Log gives more detail in the highlight.
Other observation: with the same white balance setting, 1DX II colour seems slightly warmer and a tad desaturated than 1DC in neutral profile.
Conclusion: 1DX II is a camera with advanced video capabilities (HD 120p, 4K 60p, DPAF), 1DC still deserves its "C" badge for the very detailed Super 35mm HD and higher DR C-Log. Which one is more suitable totally depends on user's need.
