Press release:

POWERFUL, FASTER AND RUGGED: CANON ANNOUNCES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EOS-1D X MARK III CAMERA
MELVILLE, N.Y., October 24, 2019 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. is developing the highly anticipated Canon EOS-1D X Mark III Camera – the successor to the world-renowned and award-winning EOS-1D X Mark II. Ideal for sports and wildlife, the flagship DSLR is being engineered and designed using feedback from the worldwide community of EOS-1D X and EOS-1D X Mark II photographers. Continuing Canon’s rich heritage of creating first-rate optical products, the EOS-1D X Mark III offers an enhanced autofocus system, with dramatically improved still and video image quality and communication. When using this camera, professionals will have the confidence they will get ‘the shot’ and can deliver it at a competitive speed – faster than ever before – ideal for the increasingly fast-paced industry.

“The innovations put forth by the new EOS-1D X Mark III will set the new standard for professional DSLR cameras and further cement Canon’s commitment to its professional photographers,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “In developing the new camera, Canon listened to extensive user-feedback from professionals out in the field. The result is a camera that has evolved from its predecessor and maintained the overall quality that professional photographers have come to expect from the Canon EOS-1D series.”

Need for Speed

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III will be blisteringly fast - offering exceptional precision, reliability, high-performance autofocus and subject tracking – providing photographers with a tool that will help to capture the shot they are chasing. The camera’s new autofocus algorithm will improve stability and tracking when using both the Optical Viewfinder and in Live View shooting mode, using Deep Learning Technology and adapting to help facilitate accurate focus tracking for every shot.

When using the optical viewfinder the camera will use a new autofocus sensor, with approximately 28 times the resolution in the center of the EOS-1D X Mark II. Offering the ability to autofocus in even brighter and darker situations than before and with greater precision, the camera will have a range of autofocus capabilities, which will enable the photographer to get their shot. In Live View mode, users will be able to make use of 525 AF areas using the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system will cover approximately 90x100 percent of the image sensor. The camera will support significantly faster frame rates with full AF and AE, using either the optical viewfinder (up to approximately 16fps mechanical shutter) or Live View (up to approximately 20fps mechanical or electronic shutter). Additionally, the camera’s dual CFexpress card slots will enable more than five times the RAW burst depth of its predecessor.

Powered to Dominate

The development of EOS-1D X Mark III is a clear example of Canon’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovative imaging products featuring optically excellent technology. The camera will support an all new, Canon-developed, CMOS sensor and DIGIC processor, that will deliver greater image quality, at even higher ISOs, with the ability to capture stills in 10-bit using the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) file format. HEIF produces wider dynamic range and greater color representation compared to JPEG. The power of 4K resolution brings stories to life – shoot 4K videos including 4K60p with 10-bit 4:2:2 Canon Log internal recording.

Conveniently Connected

For professionals, content delivery is just as important as image capture – the EOS-1D X Mark III will make it easy, featuring built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® low-energy connectivity in addition to GPS technology. To keep pace with ever-shortening deadlines, the camera will transfer data at more than twice the speed of the EOS-1D X Mark II when using the built-in Ethernet connection, or the new optional wireless file transmitter – the WFT-E9, which is also compatible with Canon’s recently launched Cinema EOS C500 Mark II camera. Coupled with simpler network set-up the camera will greatly enhance the professional workflow.

A Familiar Feel with Improved Attributes

Existing EOS-1D series users will be familiar and comfortable handling the EOS-1D X Mark III allowing seamless navigation with trusted ergonomics – whilst the magnesium alloy body will offer the durability expected from Canon’s EOS-1D cameras. Professional photographers can trust the same impressive build-quality as the EOS-1D X Mark II – with phenomenal weather-sealing, standing up to harsh conditions, including wind, rain and humidity. With incredible low-light shooting capabilities, the camera will now feature select illuminated buttons that allow for precision operation in challenging, dark and dimly lit conditions.

The camera will also offer a new additional control for selecting AF points, built into the AF-ON button, allowing photographers to change AF points on-the-fly for the best composition – further helping to simplify their work. In addition, dramatically improved battery life – with the same LP-E19 – will allow professionals to shoot for longer periods of time, without having to change batteries, helping reduce the chance of missing a shot.

What is a realistic expectation for the 1DXIII MP and fps? Could they deliver 26MP @ 16fps?

I would be very surprised if 1DXIII is more than 24mpix. I'd say 24mpix at 15fps full AF (14bit RAWS as is the norm with Canon since 2007). Interestingly, the rumor that it is already under field testing has been circulated since february, but very little to no actual specs have surfaced (or I'm not using Google properly).

These are modest increases at best.

Will 1 more fps really matter? 24mp seems to be a sweet spot, though.

Although already excellent, consistent AF is probably what needs to be improved the most? And eye-AF?

I wouldn't care if it went higher than the current 14FPS. But I'd want a good bump in resolution...30MP?

Then again, I don't think I'll be tempted by another $7000CDN camera body, especially a DSLR, no matter what it can do.

Still, I'm really interested to see what the 1DX3 (and the D6) will bring to the market. I wonder what card slots the 1DX3 will have? Dual C-Fast? A move to dual CFExpress? I can't imagine they will still keep a CF slot in there.

The D6 is rumored to have IBIS...not something I'd really care for.

1D series rarely went up by more than 4 mpix, even though a jump from 4 to 8 was massive. It was 4 to 8 (1D to Mark II), 8 to 10 (Mark II to Mark III), 10 to 16 (biggest jump from Mark III to Mark IV), 16 to 18 (Mark IV to 1Dx) and 18 to 20 (1Dx to 1DxII). And don't forget the primary purpose for this body is Sports and Photojournalism, where it's not uncommon for agencies, even in 2019, to deliver measly 6mpix files or even smaller, not to mention working with straigth out of camera JPEGs vast majority of the time for speedy delivery. As for 1fps more - I don't think the mirror assembly can be sped up that much more in order to retain full AF capabilities. 1DxII does 16 fps in live view and little or no AF (if I remember correctly) in order to bypass the flapping mirror.

Would love less oil splatter.

Also: improved AF, full touch screen, articulating screen, and wifi.

That’s my wish list. I too doubt I’ll drop another $7K on a camera body, though.

I agree it's probably likely going to be 24MP but I hope it's more. I also hope we also get another 1-2fps out of it but that's probably wishful thinking as well. 15-16fps @ 26MP and I would be a happy camper for many years. I also hope for dual CFast 2.0 or better. Like someone else said, I can't imagine they would keep one slot as a CF on the 1DXIII.

I'd really want 2x CFExpress, but would not be surprised at one CFExpress and one CFast.

What's attractive about 12fps? Canon had that since 2011. Also what's attractive abour lower DR compared to 1DXII?

I’m not sure what you are talking about. A9 does 20fps at 24mp, A9ii about to be announced. A7iv , 61 mp at 10fps, improved weather sealing, better AF and a smaller form factor. I have been a canon shooter for years, love m 1dx but, they are falling way behind the curve and jumping to the dark side gets more tempting with every announcement.

A9 does 20 fps at 12 bit compressed RAW which can remove some details of the photo. Switch it to uncompressed and it drops to 12fps. Switch it to 14bit RAW like Canon provides since 2007 and it drops to 5 fps. At least that's what I was able to find online.

Eye AF, silent shutter and 24mp is all I would require for BIF photography.

The buffers are so deep the media write speed is no longer a concern to me.

My dilemma is 400 2.8 III and 600 4.0 III with extenders or 300 2.8 III and 500 4.0 III with extenders and the decision will be dictated by the weight.

I doubt we will see 300 & 500 version III’s. Hasn’t it been said that most high end lens development for the EF system has now stopped?

The 300 III and 500 III will definitely be released and sit next to the 400 III and 600 III because those lenses also work on mirrorless.

At least for wildlife photography, the A9 is looking to be a better tool due to a vastly better AF system, buffer and higher MP allowing cropping.

Canon currently has the ergonomics, menu interface, and tank build quality, and used lens market. It is rumored that the A9 II is coming out soon and that might really hard to justify a Canon mirrored pro body.

Canon Rumors has reported they heard that those two lenses won't come in EF mounts. They will come in RF instead. But of course that is just a rumor so anything could happen. I would have thought Canon would have released 500III and 300III by now if they were going to. The Mk 2 series were released closer together and at that time it was the f/2.8 pair and then the f/4 pair.

Another consideration is that we know the only real difference between the Mk 2 and Mk 3 400 and 600 is the weight. Maybe the weight savings wasn't great enough in the 500 and 300 by using smaller elements and therefore there was no point in making those two? The 300I to 300II hardly shaved any weight and the 500I to 500II was much less than the 400 and 600 lost back then.
