Whilst I'm not normally somebody who encourages mid life updates it does seem to me Canon could comparatively easily wring the neck of the A9 with a 1DX MkII firmware upgrade that would easily hold its own until the MkIII comes out in 2020, it sure does seem like a long way off to the Japan Olympics...

Do you think the 1D X II is falling behind the a9 in any way other than lines of text on a list of specifications? Are there long lines of photographers at the Sony booths/rooms at major sporting events, while the Canon booth staffers are sitting around chatting and playing pinocle?
