This camera can't come out fast enough.. I skipped XH1 because of XT3, and then skipped XT3 because of XH2/XT4.
Cannot wait to get back into X system! (sadly my XT2 got stolen 2 years ago. Miss it SO much!)

Spent some time with the 1DX3. It's an amazing beast of a camera as expected.
The AF is so fast I could hardly notice it 'working' half the time. Lightning quick response.
The touch screen response is also on another level VS previous generation.
AF is definitely present in all shooting modes (including 120fps) except above 4K30p. 
RS quite visible in FF 4K24p. Gets much better in 4K crop mode (which is 1.3x like 1DX2).
Anyways, I realise everybody is waiting for R5/R6 announcements now but the 1DX3 is definitely a power house.
I'd even say the most advanced performing DSLR I've ever handled. Quite impressive.

@androidlad precious/priceless asset this forum has here: your info : -)

If this camera doesn't overheat and doesn't perform worse in the rolling shutter department than the X-T3, I will give Fujifilm my money instantly. I haven't been this excited since I bought my first X100-series camera.

@androidlad Any chance of improved rolling shutter performance on the updated sensor?

That statement is not only ahistorical and incorrect, it’s downright disgusting.

Wow. So because most white people don’t walk around feeling privileged removes the de facto privilege bestowed upon them for centuries?
And the whole “political correct thing doesn’t connect with people” is just flat out condescending. So “ordinary people” can’t be allies, ie. decent human beings informed about questions regarding social issues? 
It’s so incredibly sad that these kind of topics on any forum always end up about the white man’s hurt feelings. As if the act of calling out racism is somehow inherently more hurtful than actual racism.
 
“Politics is obsessed about skin color”, that’s funny because I think people in general are kind of obsessed about skin color (especially Sony’s on this forum), but it’s only now when the paler shade of skin is also named, not just taken as a neutral general thing. Then all of a sudden there’s an obsession - not when you scream the n-word or more recently make jokes about East Asians with regards to the corona virus. 
Nobody is trying to shame the hard working gaffer into believing anything, I think it’s more about including the hard working people of color when it comes to recognizing the industry. One doesn’t negate the other. 
 
And then the Japan example. Always the Japan example. Let’s not go to the extremely weird exotification of this “monocultural” country where everything is so special and great because of their monoculture. Because it isn’t.

I think he was very coherent and everything he said was on point. He seemed a lot more unhinged when he gave his acceptance speech on the golden globes when he went on and on about climate change. Glad he speaks out on systemic issues though. Why shouldn’t he?

I’m thinking there are racists here. 

There was no deus ex machina giving privileges to white people. Whites built their progress all by themselves. Should white people feel remorse for it?

But why exactly does he have to mention a certain specific in order to make his case?  Should not mentioning other injustices, even if it's only the ones he's aware of, be enough?  

As much as I'm not a fan of  (imo misguided) Phoenix' acceptance speech, this sort of argument is ridiculous. Ignoratio elenchi. Because he failed to mention specific injustices his entire point is diminished?  C'mon.  If you don't like what he's doing, just say so.
