but with the mirror lock up and LCD shooting mode, I believe the 1DX is capable of 14fps which is more then double.
that's a lot of frames and with higher ISO capability, that camera would probably shoot razor sharp 6400ISO images without batting an eyelash where the 5D3 will probably be using most of it's buffer.
The auto focus in the 1DX is supposed to be a marginally more capable to, yes they are basically the same, but I think the metering system is different? I forget what part is different, but that rings a bell.
It's built for speed, and sports are fast (even a golf swing)
I think the 5D3 would do an admirable job, but having used the 7D to shoot sports a few times, it's hard to beat the speed and sharpness of a shutter and sensor that are designed for sports/wildlife.
The 5D2 is an awesome walk around.
