The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is a powerful DSLR designed for sports, wildlife, and other trying and dynamic imaging applications. Featuring a newly designed 20.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor and updated DIGIC X image processor, this camera is capable of continuous shooting rates up to 16 fps with the optical viewfinder or 20 fps in live view, with a 1000-shot buffer when shooting raw + JPEG.
Also benefitting the speed is the EOS iTR AF X autofocus system, which uses 191 points for quickly and accurately acquiring focus. It also enables Face Tracking and Head Detection AF functions, which use Deep Learning Technology, to maintain critical focus on moving subjects. Complementing recording is Movie Digital IS, manual focus peaking, and Focus Guide, and, also, Canon Log Gamma can be used for greater color grading control in post.
This camera uses a magnesium alloy construction that is weather-sealed to guard against dust and moisture for working in especially trying environments. The optical pentaprism viewfinder is benefitted from an updated mirror drive mechanism for reduced blackout and the 3.2" 2.1m-dot touchscreen LCD is available for intuitive playback and menu navigation. The sensor itself is paired with a newly designed low pass filter, which helps to eliminate moiré and another aliasing for overall clean image quality. Beyond speed, the sensor-processor combination also affords a broad native sensitivity range of ISO 100-102400, which can be expanded to ISO 50-819200 to support working in a wide variety of lighting conditions.
This AF system also utilizes Deep Learning Technology to enable refined tracking capabilities, such as Head and Face Detection, for accurate subject recognition. This focusing system offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to change focus in an intuitive manner.
Additionally, Full HD recording up to 120 fps is also possible for slow-motion playback. Enhanced optical pentaprism viewfinder works in conjunction with an updated mirror drive mechanism for the reduced blackout. Dual CF express memory card slots cater to the fast-continuous shooting rates and high-resolution video recording and also offer a flexible means for storing and sorting file types. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS offer flexible wireless control and geotagging capabilities, along with the ability to apply IPTC tags to files.
