Canon EOS-1D X Mark III review - sorry Sony, THIS the best pro camera!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2020
- The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is here - and while I was convinced that the Sony A9 II would be a better professional camera, I think I may have been wrong.
With deep learning AF, an optical joystick, HEIF and HDR PQ support, CFexpress, 12-bit internal 4K RAW, head tracking, 20fps shooting and plenty more, Canon has combined the advantages of DSLR and mirrorless to produce a hybrid body that can shoot in any situation.
Please note: These images were shot on pre-production Canon beta sample models, final image quality may vary.

This is the best review of this camera I've seen so far. Everything is well explained without being so boringly geeky.
Nice review James - bonus points for including me too!
Haha, thanks budski! I was looking for a way to add a cheeky tag, but I'm still too noobTube to understand such things. Your vid is a clear winner, by the way - by far the most informative one on here!
@@Artaius you covered a lot of bases in yours too, nice work!
Thanks for a great review!
paulbeckmann Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it!
congrats on getting the to review this!!! great review
Thanks Justin! It was a great place to test the camera, especially since the weather was kind!
@@Artaius Does it record or exit to SSD disc?
Great review mate 👌🏼
Lol this intro ! First time I enjoy a youtuber that I´m discovering at the very first second
Agree, from the very first second i already laugh hapily haha
what a fantastic day ! was a really nice experience to race with lot of Photographer , seems Monaco GP :)
Wow, you are the first one I truly believe has understood how in-depth reviews should be. Your knowledge really complements the sole praise of the camera... Highly appreciated!
Awesome review. I've just started using one of these with a MKII for a news media company I have just started at.
I used a canon 1d for MANY years. I wore out the shutter after exceeding 150,000 shutter actuations. Replaced the shutter and it was good as new. These are tanks and will make any pro or serious photographer a wonderful imaging platform. -graham
i am curious about the 1080p 422 60fps. Thnx for the review. Amazing job.
Okay, that intro got me subscribed.
I still have the canon 1DX and all I want is huge upgrade in image quality department to even think about any upgrade to 1DX lll
Not that I can ever afford this camera but just out of interest can somebody answer my question; with the optical view finder can you move the focus point with the thumb stick while shooting or do you have to compose your subject in the middle of the frame (or focus and recompose)? I never like focusing and recomposing because 1. it wastes time and 2. recomposing can throw of the plane of the focus. And with 20mp composing the subject in the middle of the frame and then doing a heavy crop to get the composition you're after probably isn't ideal.
Can you scrub 120fps video in playback. And does it have photo/ video presets separated like the eos r
Justin Henton I’ll give that a more dedicated look when we get the camera in the lab for full testing!
No sound in 120fps 1080p.
@@montanawestphotography6671 im pretty sure there is ... there was on the mark ii
@@justincosplay there's not
I used to lug a Canon 1d mkii and a 600 mm f/4 around, but at my age and ailments, I couldn't handle it anymore. I now own the sony a9 and the Sony 200-600 which is a lot lighter and easier for me to deal with. Let me say this, there is no perfect camera. Each has pro's and cons. The Sony a9 tracking is absolutely amazing, BUT, it will miss focus like any other camera.
Great video and awesome channel. Subscribed immediately. 😊
My question: is this RAW image quality better than cinema raw light from c200 or c500 mk2?
The best camera reviewer on youtube!
The downside of the touch sensitive pad being on the AF - On button (if you use it for back button focus as the majority of action shooters do) it that it seems you have to stop the camera from focusing in order to move the AF point around. Or am I incorrect?
I'm not sure I'm with you on the inherent advantage of the OVF allowing you to start shooting before the EVF user next to you, but it's hard to deny this is a fantastic camera for its purpose, boasting some really cool innovations. As an A99ii shooter, I applaud the hybrid approach, as I'm still a huge believer in that, obviously! Nice review!
cadmus777 Thanks very much! I’m definitely an EVF guy - I think, on paper, the OVF has very real advantages. However, in actual use (which is a bit of chatter I chopped out for time), the human element compensates for the hardware, just like any tool.
I can shoot fast action pretty reliably with a mirrorless camera, and I generally dislike OVFs, but in use it was really obvious that focus acquisition is just a hair faster on the 1D X III. But then, I shoot my usual work much faster on an EVF, because I know how to use my kit - the right tool is the one that’s right for you, at the end of the day! And I love the A9 II, it’s a real beast!
@@Artaius Agree all around. I'm on the DSLT A99ii though, so still DSLR size body, and not quite as fast as the A9ii, but better in some regards, and completely fantastic for me!
I seriously doubt your reaction times are anywhere near the lag in a high quality evf, so it does not really make any difference when getting the shot (and you would probably be shooting in burst mode, so it literally would be the same due to the mirror getting in the way)
@@Artaius At the speeds both cameras can react when it comes to focussing (both are faster than the maximum burst frame rate) the differences you see are more likely due to the lenses you are using and how they interact with the camera.
Does anyone know which retailer is most likely to fulfill 1DX3 orders first & fastest?
Me:" Now I know what I want for Christmas!"
I am a Canon user, but did you factor price in your equation? What's the price of this camera vs the Sony a9ii?
Hi sir, how are you? This review is actually the best out all the 1DX III reviews. Hope you are okay and will continue making reviews!
Hi which lense is that which you have on your mark3 on video ?
How much is the cost compare to other pro camera?
I will be upgrading from a 1DX to the 1 DX3. What do you think will be the most improved features from my perspective? I am a bit disappointed with resolution but am far more interested in improved AF. I am a bird/wildlife photographer. Your thoughts?
Everything, except a tiny bit in Resolution.
From the 1DX to this one will be a pretty substantial improvement in almost every respect. I think you’ll really appreciate the Smart Controller for slow moving or stationary subjects in particular, and you will notice an enormous improvement in the AF, which will really help with birds in flight. The resolution may feel like status quo on paper, but the improved sharpness with the new low pass filter should be quite apparent in your shots. The improved dynamic range will also be super useful against harsh or dark skies - I think you’ll be pleased!
Finally. With the camera coming out. The price on 5d 4 will drop significantly so I can finally get a 5d mark 3
The 1dx Series is not the 5d Series....
@@jannikr9327 I know
Blaj Eduard scheinbar nicht....🤦♀️
Let's see by how much it drops..
I have the 5d2 and it's not bad but I just need a lot of light ^^
wonderful！！
素晴らしいです🤔
Thank you for the insightful review. Hope to get this sometime this year...
Thanks for the kind words, Jon, and I'm happy to help!
Where is the insight?
There are some wrong informations in this video. It does 20 fps with mechanical shutter (in live view) and have AF in 4K 60p but only in 1.3x cropped mode. It has AF in full frame too but upto 30p (both 4K and 5.5K)
Pinaki Jana Yeah, Gordon mentioned about the AF in cropped 4K 60p - I’ll have to give that a try!
Hi Bro do u know that 1080 quality was it from full sensor readout?
Hey man! For 1080p, it's 100% horizontal and 84% vertical
Can this be used as Cinematic camera to shoot films of should i buy a camcorder ?🤔
Great video. Love your reviews. On a separate note, I notice you shot this on the EM5 Mark III which I've just bought and am enjoying greatly as a travel vlogging camera. This video looks so crisp, did you shoot C4K or 4K 30p? Would love to see a video on your best settings for that if you have the time. Also would really like to see some general photography videos. A youtuber called Rob Trek does great photo walk videos, I bet you would be excellent at doing something like that. Good luck with the channel, looking forward to seeing more content, appreciate how long this must have taken.
Cool Dudes Walking Club Thanks so much for the kind words! Actually, this was a bit of trial by fire with the E-M5 III. On my first morning before shooting, I was fiddling with some color settings while shooting something else... halfway through the track day, I realized I hadn’t changed them back, and half my footage was shot with a green color cast! So the hues are a bit off in some sections, but I rescued it okay!
I shot in 4K 24p, as I haven’t played around with C4K very much yet. I really am very impressed with what the E-M5 III can do in terms of video though - the footage really is super crisp, and the phase detect AF makes focusing a real dream. I stick to a shutter speed of 1/50 and keep the ISO as low as possible - I don’t use a lot of filters, so I tend to control brightness with the aperture unless I specifically want shallow depth of field, in which case I’ll set up some lights. But on the go, this setup works pretty well! What settings are you using for your stuff?
@@Artaius I'm just on the 4K 30p at shutter speed of 1/60, got it set to natural profile. I was using the GH5 for my stuff before, which I still love, but hiking long distances over a few days even that got too heavy. For me I most interested in portability, stabilisation, focus and fairly decent video quality. I tested the HD but found it a bit soft, the HD Superfine looks OK. I've got the 9-18 Olympus f4.0-5.6 so the set up is super light. Anyway, thanks for answering. Well done again on the video.
Best camera of 2020 and on..
auomauom dont see anything getting better than this for at least 2-3 years
Is 5d mark2 is expensive than 5d mark3?
Quick question.
Would this be worth getting for 2500$ with a 80 000 shuttercount?
Great review!
Bentley B Many thanks! :-)
I believe HEIF is based on the H.265 codec, not H.264. Great video!
Thanks Lilio! I'm pretty sure it's H.264 (though HEVC is 265). Canon did tell me it was H.264 in this case… though Canon has got specs wrong before!
Artaius I can link to a source: www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/345314/what-is-the-heif-or-heic-image-format/amp/
Interesting. Canon definitely claimed H.264!
Keen on the Nikon D6 specs to compare. However, Full HD at 120 fps is on Nikon and Sony with sound, on Canon without... The worst on the a9 and a9M2 is the power on delay. It’s 5 or 6 seconds or so, a felt eternity in comparison to instant on of pro DSLRs like D500, D5, 1DXs etc...
Roland Rick I’m definitely very interested to see what Nikon does with the D6! There are definitely a few areas where it could get the edge, so it will be fascinating to see those specs. And you’re right about startup times - always a massive plus for DSLRs!
@@Artaius I'm expecting the D6 to edge out the 1DX III in low light and dynamic range as they usually do, although seeing Gordon Laing's tests in high ISOs, the 1DX does quite well. It would be quite the revelation if they bring sensor stabilization to the D6, and they've managed it with the Z6/Z7, so who knows?
Ah, "pro photographers" argueing over toys like kids.
it's called bullsh-...period...So did the content creator BUY and use one???Another spec sheet reading..
@@michaels8597 i didnt mean the youtuber, i was talking about these pro photographers in the comment section

What is the fair price for used Canon 1Dx mark iii in 2023?
I traded in my entire Nikon D4S kit for this tasty monster...did I take a massive hit? Hell yes. Do I regret it? Hell No. Not going to lie...having to learn a whole new ecosystem and terminology has been a bit jarring BUT oh man...I should have switched to Canon a long time ago.
Fantastic review! Your channel is awesome! I love this review sooooo much, keep up the great work! 👍
You're a superstar, thank you so much for those kind words - after a loooong night editing this video, that really made me smile! :-D
@@Artaius , For sure!!! Trust me, I know quality when I see it... And I can imagine how long it took you to make this video. Very well done!
I have sony a9 and canon 1dx mark ii... for me sony makes me happy with eye af.
Will you sell your mk ii? Im from philippines sir thats my dream camera
I agree. I have the A9 which I use with 70-200 f2.8 and also a 1D iv with 300 f2.8. Not comparable I know, but I get sooooo many more sharp shots with the Sony thanks the AF system - it's a dream!
Whaaaw what a great channel !!
Coming just from Peyer mc Kinnon video , alot of show always lesser containing information 🙄...

Same here, Peter McCanon shilling instead of providing unbiased information as always
Thank you so much, that absolutely made my day! I love Peter’s stuff but I haven’t had a chance to check out his vid yet... but I’m SO glad you enjoyed mine! :-D
@@topg2820 🤣 peter mc canon 🤣
Right!!!! This is a huge mirrorless camera!!!!
This is not a mirrorless camera. No EVF!
This is a huge and expensive piece of shit. Dinosaur shit.
Ok,so we heard a spec sheet reading,for a camera inspired by the Sony A9,which Canon evidently think they caught up to.Someone forgot to tell them the A9ii is out and another three Sony cameras are here or around the corner..and?For $6500 and being years behind in the making,it should fly through the air..
Canon shills will be Canon shills, sadly.
@@KruiserIV ..I never understood how people get just stuck.Just single minded,just loyal for no logical reason,and then they get offended if you do not agree with them.People are still using the original DX and making plenty of money,yet Canon is bugging.You make the EOS R,tout it like it's sliced bread,but you cripple it,and make glass ten times better than the body.Then you abandon the new glass and head back to original glass with a professional hybrid.Canon likes to run on ice,and wonder why they arent going fast..
so question. how does the deep learning work? like do you just set the camera to the af point you want and it will prioritize the head or do you just set the af to full auto and the camera will do the job?
All the focus points are in the middle. A direct result of being a dslr. Thats what kills this camera and no way would I trade my a9 for this dinosaur.
@@montanawestphotography6671 and you know this because? have you actually used the camera? if not let HIM answer.
@@garou12 Read the specs! Also FroKnowsPhoto (Jared Polin)did a review on it and actually showed it.
@@montanawestphotography6671 will do thanks!
@@montanawestphotography6671 ok here's the thing. i watched the same vid too (2xs) and didn't see the bit you're referring to. and there's other reviewers who've said the camera is works faster than the sonys'...sooo i think maybe it's better to wait for the written reviews. dpreview already has one but doesn't reference the point you made re only center deep learning focusing. they just said it prioritizes the head. other reviews i've watched all showed footage of the head being tracked even outside of the center soooo it's a little hard to believe your point.
Having no eye-tracking with the optical viewfinder, can it focus reliably on the iris in a close-up portrait with a lense like the 85L at f/1.2, or will it focus on the lashes, as they always does....?
-Not to mention glasses....?
My only two gripes with thát camera is that it haven't got interchangeable focusing screens (< an "s"-type focusing screen is needed if You are to focus a lense like 85L manually, googl "Eg-S" if You don't know what I'm talking about), and that it haven't got 40 mp or more.
-But the focusing screen is actually the bigger gripe of the two....
Please Canon, make the perfect DSLR before You go all mirrorless, an Eos-1Ds mk 2, with an extra large optical viewfinder (with interchangeable focusing screens....;- ), 60-80 mpix, a decent ISO 1600 (< number of tones are more important), perfect eye-tracking in the optical viewfinder, 1D quality and a huge 6-7 inch screen on the rear (< which can be done by exchanging the rear dial with one going into the camera, like the one by the index-finger).
size??? plz Orz
Sony is like half the price specially that first A9 that is 90 % same camera as mark II. I personally think Canon is the beast, but at the same time all that video funktions and what not are just noise in the ears of the primary audience for this camera. And Sony is still king of AF, size and it have ibis. Cheers! :)
What about the banding issues?
@@desinoelfarias thats not a sony exclusive issue though. any camera that is shooting silent will and always have banding depending on the light source. Even the 1DXmIII has banding shooting silent.
True. But the silent shooting, 20fps on an a9 is a huge selling point. Idk. I am just personally not a fan of silent shooting unless i know i need to be stealthy. Those are built for fast action. And if it unpredictable on whether or not it will band... that sucks and i cant trust it. Thats just me though!
If sony works for you, thats awesome!
I like both systems for different reasons :)
@@desinoelfarias agreed on the 20fps point but since it has an EVF you can see if its banding or not but anything over 1/50th to 1/100 and it will band depending on the light source. Most sports arenas use LED which doesn't band as much as flourescent bulbs so there that. if it doesnt band then youre luck. great point though 👍 :) its also just me though. love sony tho 😂the speed of it is just insane and image quality is superb. its more of the photographer more than the camera :) Happy shooting!
@@desinoelfarias Brand wars are fking useless and annoying as well. Not to mention toxic as hell.
Beat Nikon D5/6?
Hi there, Thanks for this great review. I do have a question. One of my biggest problem with the 1DX Mark II is that I always have a lot of dust on the sensor. I often clean it but despite my efforts I found that this camera is a real dust magnet. Did you find any improvements with the Mark III ? Thanks a lot for your attention and time.
Jerome
Only pro gonna get this, not these commenters...
Definitely a pro machine! Though it would be amazing to have this kind of AF in other cameras.
Artaius Not now, too expensive for us to pay.
Yeah, its coming😆
The best vedio
excellent!
great content and information. thank you so much for your time
Well Done. Put together very intelligently..”Smashed” the Subscribe Button!
You get the full Speed only on Live View with the fixed Screen on the Backside of the Camera? I cannot stop laughing.
The lack of articulating screen is definitely a downside. I know Canon's thought process is that it wants to keep the body as rigid and strong as possible, so anything that tilts or articulates will be obvious stress points, but it's definitely a sore point - particularly for video shooters.
@@Artaius its not even about the articulsting screen.
No one uses live view to shoot sports or wildlife...no one.
It seems in theirndesperation to match the a9's fps they squeezed in 20fps however and wherever they could, regardless of how unuseable it would be. They just wanted the number 20 attached to their camera.
I'm laughing at you, another negative moron on a Canon video. As if 16fps isn't enough with a near-endless buffer. The fact that not having a mirror flapping up and down allows faster shooting is just physics, idiot! If you were shooting subjects which are not changing distance from the camera, such as Olympic diving, you could easily shoot on a monopod in liveview if you needed those extra fps.
As for liveview, have you ever watched sport before? Do you see TV cameramen / videographers having issues following fast paced sports, even while zoomed in super-close? No reason why you couldn't do the same holding a shutter button. Think ahead, Mr. Negative.
@@cooloox
And were all laughing at you for missing the point.
cooloox right over your head lol
Thought I was watching a Pepper Pig episode 🤣🐖
Problem is : are they still going to develop ef lenses?
There is already a wealth of options that most Canon shooters (myself included) already own and dont want to adapt to a mirrorless. This is the camera i have dreamed of, a true cinema/dslr hybrid with little to no compromise.
They already have great lense options.
They have a ton of great lenses right now, even if they stop developing new lenses they have great lenses for the next 10 years
I actually wrote the original story that everyone is regurgitating at the moment, where Canon stated that it won't be developing new EF lenses unless the market demands it - but it will still produce existing EF lenses, as the mount is still 100% supported: www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/our-focus-is-on-rf-says-canon-no-new-ef-lenses-unless-market-demands-it
it would be nice to have some of the lenses nikon putting out, like 500mm 5.6 and 120-300mm 2.8
Dynamic range of a new 20Mp FF sensor must be amazing. Speed is also optimized. If you want more useless Mp you have to go to Sony or buy a cellphone with >100Mp
@moo So I´m wrong. It seems, it´s not that easy. So I´m glad to use a cheap Pentax K1 for landscape photography with better performance in this category.
5:41 he looks sick...
Wait! 11:55 - it doesn't shoot 4K 60fps with Dual-Pixel-AF? That's a thing the 1D X Mark II already did ... ? ;-)
The earlier 1D model has two processors doing handling imaging, presumably one was doing the video and the other handling focusing. This new model has only one main processor (presumably it still has the dedicated additional processor to handle the viewfinder focusing system, as is the case in the earlier 1D and 5D models). I would guess that one processor doing both video (in higher data throughout modes) and focusing is too much, so the focusing is dropped.
It has 4k 60 with AF in the same 1.3x crop as the mark ii. You just dont have dpaf in uncropped 4k 60
@@TJIzzy The crop mode involves handling less data though, which allows more computational time for AF
@@Tugela60 It's already been said that the mark iii uses one processor dedicated to AF, just like the mark ii. They are dual processor cameras.
@@TJIzzy mark ii has three processors actually, two for handling imaging and one for the optical viewfinder focusing/exposure control. The mark 3 appears to have a single imaging processor. Since dpaf has to be done by the imaging processor, not the ovf system processor, it will create additional overhead that the mark 2 could handle separately through it's second image processor. So, while it may be faster and more capable when it comes to the image itself, there may be limitations with DPAF in heavy data situations in the mark 3.
Well, I have a different opinion on this. The sensor is from technology perspective a simple carryover from the Canon 1DX Mark II. And I am not talking about the 20MP, I am taking about a simple CMOS technology from 5 years ago. Furthermore, what is that about with 20fps? This is only in Live View, I am sorry but I have not seen anyone around me taking images in Live View of Wildlife or Action / Sport - Outdoor the display is anyway hard to read, especially in bright sunlight and especially not with such a huge and heavy housing. And through the OVF we have "only" 16fps. Sorry, if speed is important the Canon 1DX Mark III would not be my first choice. For me, Live View is basically useless, I have never really used it on my Canon 1DX Mark II. Although we have to wait on real world tests, I doubt the Autofocus will be faster than what a Sony A9 Mark II can offer because especially the Lock-On function on the A9 delivers stunning results for Wildlife, Action / Sport. I know this because this is what I am doing. The huge buffer of the 1DX Mark III is nice but...already the buffer on the 1DX Mark II was not a limiter in my work. So what is left then? My perception is that this is just a DSLR, a dinosaur from old times. Even Canon admits that their focus is RF Mount, no longer EF Mount. Let me make the prediction that anything what you currently invest into EF Mount will experience a drastic depreciation over the next 2-3 years. I was waiting on the 1DX Mark III but after this announcement I will complete my migration to Sony this year. The 1DX Mark III has nothing for my work to offer the Sony A9 Mark II can't do.
How much this one bro ???

Super
2:59 Loks like focus was missed to the spoiler instead of the driver's helmet.
I want camera but i don't have money. But i want do photography can you help me ?? 🥺
Something does not adds right in my opinion in your review. Your video title and your conclusions seem to clearly favour the 1DXIII over the A9II. Which is fair, I can see working for a number of pros. However toward the end, where you are drawing conclusions you spend a substantial amount of time listing the A9II advantages (not a comprehensive list btw, omitting IBIS, tilting screen, and more) vs 1DXIII bigger battery, faster cards, and video specifications? Are these really that significant? I.e. I'd rather be able to look through an OVF/EVF and get close to 100% AF coverage. I liked your video and you brought up some very good points, but I think you omitted some pretty relevant stuff.
Great review of an amazing camera. I enjoyed seeing the features and your tack-sharp images of fast-moving vehicles. I sure love that optical AF point moving device.
Now I'm reading all the childish fools making negative comments, as per RUclips's usual tossers. It's funny, this is an amazing camera, out of reach for most of us, or not even the right camera for our needs, but amazing all the same. All some people can do is overlook every good point you raised and ignore the amazing tack-sharp images you showed and make some negative comment. Fanboys are hilarious.
Somehow I know that game before...
James, can you please post the agreement between you and Canon re: what is and isn't allowed in this "review"? I get the impression all of your pre-production reviewers are just adverts for Canon, which is disappointing.
Is this a review or an advertisement? It definitely does not seem like a review, no offense intended. Edit: I think "preview" would be a more accurate title.
Nice camera but that's a bit too much money for me ^^
You made a mistake. It is 16fps with ovf. 20fps mirror up, with or without mechanical shutter.
don't say "Sorry Sony ..." ; say "Thank you Sony ..." Sony provoked Canon and Nikon to invest very heavily in R&D and to accelerate the market penetration of better technology. This is what we all love, independent of our personal bias
yeah,so they might have come close to an old Sony A9..wow
Sony is absolutely the reason Canon is abandoning EF mount R&D, and will only manufacture existing lenses going forward. I think Sony has kickstarted Canon & Nikon both, but it may be too little too late.
@@KruiserIV it is too late,but of course you have the main HYPEMASTERS,with their silly,inaccurate,guessing ass nonsense,with stupid headlines like 'Canon kills Sony..'
Well canon and nikon were always gonna compete with each other for the best autofocus, and even with the previous systems many sport photographers found nikon and canon to work better than sony
@@TheBacontarian
Nikon and Canon work better for them because Sony did not enter that market.They made the Sony A99mkii,and that was the last camera that size,and the end of them making A mount bodies.The Sony went completely mirrorless,with small bodies and making Hybrid cameras.
Nikon and Canon were only making those level cameras for stills work,and rapid fire focusing,and those are both DSLRs.So,it's not like they were 'better' cameras,they were a different market,and BOTH of them now are emulating Sony's innovations,like they have in recent cameras,like eye AF.
So the bottom line is,you cannot be possibly 'better',if you're feeding off the accomplishments of someone else.I used to shoot Sony,but the camera i have now does have that Sony BSI sensor.They have dominated the sensor business as well,except for Canon and Sigma.
Silent shooting? Again click click?
Silent shooting in Live View, so it's halfway there!
Light has to be turned into photons!!!!!!!!.............really.......
Have u left ur camera on bulb mode picturing a dark unilluminated object in the middle of the night in a pitch dark setting...
Try it...
And try to explain the image u get with ray tracing theory..

Interesting. A camera that is $2000 more than the Sony is better. Never would have guessed.

I also think only A9 can handle electronic shutter without any rolling shutter problem. 20fps also silently on Canon but what about Sport shooting without a stacked sensor like A9? it may become a weak point of the 1DX3 in comparison to A9, same speed but Sony can handle 20fps without common ES problems. This Canon seems to not solve this totally silent photography problem, common for any mirrorless in ES mode, nobody talk about this.

After all that...can you point to one pro sports shooter that uses the live view screen to shoot sports?
If thats the case were gonna see a lot of photographers looking like zombies with a 1 ton brick held out in front of them as they chase the action in tokyo.
@Stefanie Daniella
Also can you tell me your source for the 1dxiii being blackout free?
Every review ive seen says minimal blackout.
That seems not like a review to me. Its part hand on type first impressions combined with reading of a brochure. Some good info, but far from a legit review or proper testing. You guys are a bit too lose with your titles to say the least. Its a pre-production model, you can't even work or test raw files or do comparison testing with Sony you put in your title, you are in the event organized by canon in a hurry to post for view, so you will be compelled to say things that you may not after months of usage. I know you guys are hurry to get those views, but little honesty goes a long way.
Horses for courses. I stick with my 5D4 and My Little Sony, small enough for concealed carry.
I am not the target audience here.
I think things like that are always important to remember. This isn't a camera that's right for everyone, and indeed not everyone really needs this camera - for most of us, there are bodies that suit our needs better.
You are absolutely right - and that is what people who poop poop this camera are missing. If you shoot with a 1DXii like I do and it suits your needs then the Mkiii will be a welcome upgrade. If you don't then it's not meant for you - and you won't get what's great about this camera.
I also shoot with a Panasonic G9 because it fills needs that the 1DXii can't. End of the day, they are all just tools. Pick what works for you and enjoy taking photos.
Why buy a camera for which the manufacturer is abandoning the lens lineup? Sure, Canon will continue to make existing EF lenses, but Sony will continue to make new FE mount lenses. The Sony a9ii gives this camera a run for its money, and at almost half the cost.
I've downloaded so many samples from Dpreview, sorry to say these 20mp files are nowhere near as detailed as my old A7ii's 24mp files
Because these noobs from Canon simply carried over the sensor from the 4 years old 1DX Mark II.
It should be better. It is almost 3 years newer tech and $ 2000.00 more.
The Sony A9 II came out at the end of last year…
Looking to upgrade from my 6D I purchased in 2012. 😂
still no ibis.. well done canon
RottenFish its mostly a sports camera. Most sports there moving fast enough that the shutter is fast enough that you do not need ibis. Even though this camera has crazy video capabilities its still not the main focus of this camera.
Bump your shutter speed up. Problem solved.
IBIS is only good for short lenses, it can't move enough for really long lenses which they expect alot of usage. The IS motor in a 400mm is going to perform much better than IBIS
The sony a9ii is much cheaper than the 1dxiii ... that is an advantage that you did not mention in the video also the previous a9mark1 is also much much cheaper than 1dxmark2
Well, you're certainly right on the price. But the people who buy this camera professionals and agencies who have budgets for the most appropriate kit - they're not really the kinds of customers who will be significantly swayed by the price disparity, especially since most are already entrenched in the Canon lens ecosystem so buying a different body is false economy. I do agree that the price would sting my own pocket, though!
Great review but this camera is Big, heavy, and expensive. Also, the USD.700.00 Wi-Fi stick is absolutely cons. No AF 60fps 4K video! At least, this camera is completely silenced with the electronic shooter or not? No flip screen, no Color Filter (more color artifacts or not)... That cards are very expensive too, I use at least, 8 SD cards to keep my work separated than other's signatures!
Gustavo Ulloa the camera has af in 4K 60 in crop mode, just not in full frame I believe.
Canon just stopped production and updates of any and all EF lenses; seems canon knows the 1dxiii is dead before it even releases.
Oh yeah, that camera really looks dead. What do you shoot, Mr Camera Expert?
@@cooloox
Its better than the 1dxiii. Take a guess. Andnit doesnt take a camera expert to know that when lens production stops, so do cameras with the matching mount.
development, not production, they're still making them.
Sorry Canon. Too little, too late., for now Sony have won . Maybe the next generation Canons and Nikons will pull something out of the bag, but I would not mind betting that they'll still be chasing Sony.
As if any Sony camera could ever replace Canon's pro cams. C'mon let's be serious.
Sony a9 has over 600 af points... this camera has under 200. And it can do 20fps with the view finder unlike this camera. No one uses the screen to shoot. Only the view finder. So you wont be getting 20fps.
@@TagTeamDream Do you really use 600 AF points , all the time? Really? 4 fps could be significant although I highly doubt it since we've been doing fine with less in the last version. In addition I would question the number of Canons in the stadiums and in the field wildlife photographers. I'm not dissing Sony, although I am not a fan, just stating the pretty obvious.
@@Prez3D the af points are a big deal. Say a bald eagle swoops down for a fish or a soccer player shoots and the goalie dives to the edge of your frame. All the 1Dx af points are more centered. Sony covers the entire sensor so it will be in focus no matter where it is. Canon is great. Hands down. Sony has come from crap to the top. Both brands make great products. But look at price as well. Over 6I for this. The sony equivalent is under 5k. Much more affordable
Przemek Sensor of Canon 1DX Mark III is a simple carry over from the 1DX Mark II. I am really impressed, indeed. What an expensive bummer this 1DX Mark III is.
Tag Team Dream Sony A9 is not a pro camera. If you ever use a 1dx or d5 you will quickly realize the difference. Just the speed of operation and control speed are so much better. You still can’t review photos as its writing to the card on a Sony the whole camera is locked up. The buffer on the 1dx ii and now this one is shocking how fast it clears and lets you just keep working. Everything with this camera is to get out of your way and let you get the shot. The sony autofocus works great when you let it choose the focus. That does not always work in all environments. When you try to use one focus point on the sony it wont focus well.
That's why I didn't switch to Sony. I had faith in Canon and that they were only sleeping a little last year.
Lol sorry sony?
The a9 came out three years ago and is STILL faster in every sense than the 1dxiii. Not only that but the 1dxiii is the pinnacle of dslr world whereas the a9 is just the beginning of the mirrorless age.
Not to say the 1dxiii isnt a great camera but its simply a better 1dxii. Whereas the a9 is a revolutionary camera that is the next step in the evolution of cameras.
Even canon knows that. This is likely the last gasp for air from the dslr world.
Its not faster in every sense. What everyone is saying about lag through EVFs is true.
In which senses? The 1DX has a double the FPS with mechanical shutter, equally good autofocus, and faster card read / write speeds meaning no buffer-clearing slowdown as in the A9, which seem to me the most important speed metrics for a sports camera. I agree with you, the A9 II is a very good camera, but as you say the 1DX III is the pinnacle for sports DSLRs right now (still curious to see the D6 though). The AF algorithm can still be improved via firmware, too.
The thing about advances in mirrorless technology is that they will improve DSLR capabilities at the same time-look at the on-sensor phase detect points in this camera, brought over from the EOS R. Or in Nikon's lineup, the D780, which during live view offers everything the Z6 has except the mount and sensor stabilization. Video quality and autofocus, the two places Nikon used to lag behind, are sorted because Nikon used what they learned from developing the mirrorless to create a better DSLR. I bought a Z6, and it's great but it's going back-I prefer the experience from the DSLR. Until the actual technical limitations of mirror speed, lens design, or sensor design PREVENT manufacturers from improving DSLRs, and as long as manufacturers keep putting some money into R&D, DSLRs will remain a viable option.
I I agree. These people dont know what they are talking about. The Canon has no EVF and the OVF doesnt work in live view which is stupid. Massive blackout! No sound in 1080p @ 120fps. ALL the focus points are still in the middle because its a dslr and not a mirrorless camera. It's a dinosaur. In fact the biggest feature of this camera is that it is severely crippled BECAUSE its a dslr.
Good content, especially the shots of the Radical and girl racer. Pity you sound like a primary school teacher explaining basic concepts to children*. Speed it up sunshine, we're adults with credit cards here. *during off camera narration.
