Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 1DX Mark III if you prioritize faster burst shooting (16 fps), higher-end video capabilities (5.5K RAW / 4K 60), or a more recent release for long-term usability. The Sony SLT-A99 II stays the better choice if you need in-body stabilization, significantly higher resolution (42.4 MP), or want to save 900 EUR while still getting full-frame performance.
