Re: 1dx focus speed
The real difference would be in low light/high iso where the 1dx would shine.... Also the 1dx has 5 dual cross type af points and the 7dmk2 has 1, so that may be a factor.... Also, it also has 20 off centre cross type points to the 7ds, 1 which I gather is important to bif togs? ...As good as the 7dmk2 is, and I owned one for 2 years and loved it, the 1dx is just a better camera all round... But factor in the price difference and what would you notice in a real life situation... The 7dmk2 is a bargain and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Re: 1dx focus speed
I used a 7D2 for several years, a lot of the time with a 300mm F2.8 and a 1.4Ext Mk 2 then Mk3, I didn't notice any particular slowing down of focus speed, then I was tempted by a 2.0 Ext Mk2 and the slowing was very noticeable.
I then persuaded SWMBO to let me get a 1DXii, as expected the 300mm with 1.4 was excellent, but the real noticeable change was when I added the 2x Ext, it was much faster than the 7D2
Hope that helps

Re: 1dx focus speed
If its a choice between a body and glass I would choose glass every time , the 500mm f4 is a fantastic lens and works very well with the 7D2 but having said that I have both bodies and never pick the 7D2 out of the bag as the 1DX is in a different league in every way. either combination will produce great resultsSteve ( LSINWP )
1DX, and 7D2 ,500mmf4mkii, 300mmf2.8, 400mm f5.6 , 100mm - 400mmmk2 ,70-200mm f2.8 ,24-105mm f4, 100mm f2.8 macro , 1.4x converter, 2x converter and a big dose of luck !!
