Any oil spatter on the 1DX mkll?

Previous posts have expressed valid points well. As a hobbiest who probably wouldn't ever have bought the camera without significant nudging from my wife (I tackled a huge job and she felt I should be rewarded with the "best" - I explained to her the falacy of "best" but it never really registered). Having waited for the 5D4's availability I then fussed and fumed for weeks until finally committing.

I have no complaints other than what I knew would be complaints right from the start - it's heavy etc., and I love it. When I find myself cropping wildlife shots excessively then I have this little regret session wishing I had 30 MPs. I sold my 6D fully expecting to replace it with a 6D2 but now I feel no compulsion, at least at this moment, to replace it and will consider other Canon options in the not too distant future, like maybe a 5D4 but that seems a little redundant and not as friendly as a candidate for my wife's use - a 6D2 would be more appropriate.

Oh well, as always, it's all about compromises and why should I fuss when I have one super nice and capable camera but am no where near as capable as the camera! ;) :)

This discussion has certainly got my interest. 2 x 1DX before and DX2 now. Never seen a single splatter issue but will be looking for it in the future. I always attributed those to the other persuasion, D600 etc

If only the 5DIV had 10 fps I would be down that route in a flash.
