Thanks Don. As below, I will wait for a significant firmware update:

EOS-1D X Firmware Version 1.2.4Firmware Version 1.2.4 incorporates the following functional improvements and fixes:


Improves the speed of the camera’s acquisition of focus when using a Canon Speedlite’s AF-assist beam.
Reduces the time it takes to display the metering result on the LCD or Viewfinder when the meter has been activated.
Fixes a phenomenon in which a ‘Caution 02’ message is unnecessarily recorded in the camera status log.
Fixes a phenomenon in which continuous shooting pauses when using a Canon Speedlite.
Fixes a phenomenon*, when the GP-E1 is attached, which causes the GPS device settings to be reset to default when the camera has been powered off.
