Verdict
Pick the Canon 1DC if you prioritize budget-friendly 4K Motion JPEG capture and need a cinema-oriented DSLR workflow, especially for projects where codec flexibility outweighs resolution. The Sony A9 stays the better choice if you require faster burst shooting, in-body stabilization, higher resolution, or a more recent mirrorless design—provided the higher price aligns with your needs for stills or hybrid use.
