6d or 5d

Why else would they fix moire and aliasing on the 5D Mark III but then unfix it on the 1D X Mark II 5 years later and double the price? There’s more moire on that camera’s 1080p output than there is on the 5D Mark III and original 1D X. Now I’ve always had the impression Canon were doing this on purpose. But then the 1D X Mark II doesn’t even have Canon LOG. No Canon LOG, no 4K, no high bitrate codec, no 4K HDMI output, no full pixel readout, no new video features to speak of. Why put such a great technology for video as Dual Pixel AF on it and then not target video users? Now the 6D Mk II is a victim, left looking like a shambles with not even proper 1080p, let alone 4K. I just wish they’d find a more imaginative way to segment it. I get that the pro market is very important for Canon. With this camera, which bored me to tears, Canon Japan were playing their usual game of slicing and dicing the market so that pros would not want to buy anything other than a C200 for 4K, or a 1D X Mark II for stills. Canon did reach out to me, gave me a loan of the camera, I began to review it but fell asleep and never completed it. The 5D Mk IV left a lot to be desired for video. Canon have been acting like they are removing features because it’s funny.
