I have the opportunity to purchase a used Canon 1Dx with 32k clicks. Is this considered a low, medium,
or high usage amount for a camera. Thank you.

I think the shutter is rated at 400k , so shutter count is pretty low.

1Dx is 2 stop better than 7D2
so around U$3000 is reasonable value.

BUT it has no
1) Dual Pixel

2) f8 only at center point

3) no 4k video

other than these, its mostly 1Dx2
If these things arent important to you, then you should go ahead.

its 4k. I presently have a 1d4 and 5d3, but would really like to go down to one body. I do not do video, or at least never thought about it.
I shoot for my own piece of mind, enjoyment, and relaxation, not professionally. Thanks.

Everything that your 1D4 does the 1DX does better. I had both for about 3 months and, much as I liked my 1D4, there was simply no situation where the 1DX didn't do a better job - even when focal length limited. The 5D3 has the advantage of lighter weight.
If you get the 1Dx then you will have little or no use for your 5D3 and no use for your 1D4 so one or both can be sold to help with the cost - I would sell both.
As to a 32k shutter count? It's nothing! If it had 250k on it then it's like a new 5D3.
Note, if you have any spare batteries for the 1D4 then keep them as they work just fine in the 1DX and it's charger.


Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

A shop here is selling one for 2799 euro, which is very inexpensive for a used 1DX. But the camera has no less than 835000 clicks. As usual, the camera comes with a year's warranty but on this camera the shutter is not included in that.  :p
