The Ultimate EOS Announced

Canon announced, the ultimate EOS of all time, yes I'm talking about Canon's flagships camera, the new EOS-1D X Mark III.

A new era in autofocus speed, accuracy and precision – the EOS-1D X Mark III. Offering the highest level of performance an EOS DSLR has ever possessed, the EOS-1D X Mark III changes the game for serious photographers around the world, boasting a powerful new 20.1 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS sensor, combined with a cutting-edge new DIGIC X image processor, for truly outstanding stills and video. Track subjects with incredible focus using the new 191-point AF system – including innovative new Head Detection AF technology (EOS iTR*1 AF X) – along with faster continuous shooting speeds of up to 16 fps with the viewfinder and up to 20 fps in Live View mode. The EOS-1D X Mark III camera is also our most powerful DSLR for video to date, equipped with 4K 60p video capability, plus the option to shoot 5.5K RAW video or 10-bit 4:2:2 video with Canon Log, recorded to a CFexpress card in either or both of the available dual card slots. And, with built-in Wi-Fi®*** for the first time ever in an EOS-1D series, this revolutionary, dust and weather resistant camera offers the connectivity to share photos and videos with clients, colleagues or family from virtually anywhere. The EOS-1D X Mark III – raising the bar on pro DSLR quality and performance.

Not Just a New Sensor - a New Imaging System

It’s not simply a list of new components, it’s what they bring to the professional photographer. Sharper, more detailed imaging from the newly-designed, 20.1 million pixel CMOS image sensor. A new concept in Low-pass filters with 16-point separation (instead of the conventional four), combined with remarkable sharpness processing from the new DIGIC X processor, to maximize detail yet further minimize risk of false colors and moiré patterns. The widest ISO range yet in an EOS camera (ISO 100–102,400, expandable to ISO 50–819,200 equivalent), and even better high-ISO image quality than the previous version. Broad tonal range, and the option for HDR HEIF images, with even more highlight detail when displayed on HDR-compliant monitors and printers. And a new, in-camera Clarity control, for adjusting contrast in mid-tones.

Performance Starts with Autofocus

New AF power, for viewfinder shooting, Live View, and video. Through the finder, a totally new 191 point AF system delivers not just speed, but new AF Tracking. With Face Detection, new Head Detection technology — supported by Deep Learning — and ability to read subject shape and color, the EOS-1D X Mark III can follow subjects across the 191-point AF array like no EOS DSLR before it. There’s impressive, menu-driven control over Subject Tracking, starting with the ability to prioritize AF for people. Live View leverages proven Canon Dual Pixel CMOS AF, now with fine 525 AF zones and Eye Detect AF, and adds Servo AF for moving subjects, even at 20 FPS. The same system translates into Movie Servo AF during video recording, and can operate in low-light down to EV -6.

Canon's Highest-Performing DSLR for Video

Leveraging the full-frame, 20.1MP image sensor, the EOS-1D X Mark III puts powerful new video abilities in the hands of demanding photographers and videographers. RAW video at 5.5K (12-bit) can be recorded right onto the CFexpress card, or to external recorders via HDMI, at up to 60p.*DCI-formatted 4K or broadcast/web-ready UHD 4K video can be recorded at 24p, 30p, or 60p,* —all using the width of the full-frame sensor. Cropped DCI 4K video is yet another option, as is Full HD (including High Frame Rate recording, at 120p). Canon Log can be applied to any, broadening 4K/Full HD recording to 10-bit, 4:2:2, and enhancing options for color grading in post-production. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF(including Eye Detect AF), with Movie Servo AF for moving subjects, is great for fast-paced recording. Or, use manual focus aids like on-screen Focus Guide, and/or Focus Peaking.

I believe no camera in the market can beat this well made giant and fantastic product.
