Verdict
Pick the EOS R5 C if you prioritize higher resolution, more advanced video capabilities, or a lower price—its 45 MP sensor and 8K 60 RAW video make it the stronger choice for hybrid shooters. The 1DX Mark III stays the better option if you need a rugged DSLR body with faster burst shooting (16 fps) or prefer its ergonomics for stills-focused work. Budget and workflow needs will dictate the final decision.
