Been reading this site for quite a while but never got in to join it. Well now I have. 75 here - retired, just enjoying retirement. Been hobby photographer for probably 60 years, started with a little "brownie" and had many various cameras since. While serving in the Air Force in the early 60's in Germany in addition to my regular job as a guided missile technician, I also operated the Photo Hobby shop on the base at Hahn, Germany. Did a lot of training on how to develop and print pictures and also served as photo director on various sponsored trips around Europe. Back to today - over the last 15 years I have had a great job as the main game photographer for a local Professional hockey team (Knoxville Ice Bears). Currently use a Canon 7D MII and very happy with it. However also considering trying a Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. I know it is much more expensive, but think it might be a great camera to give a try. Have had 6 previous Canon cameras and been very happy with all of them, just thinking about a new toy! Other than hockey photographer also do a lot of photography in the local mountains which I truly enjoy. My question is - what type of opinions do you all have regarding the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II?

Hope to hear from everyone. (Personal web site: http://www.wknox,net)
