Notably distinguished as the epitome of full-frame DSLR cameras for professionals, the Canon EOS-1D series creates a brand new masterpiece in their finest, class-leading flagship to date. A sturdy and reliable workhorse crafted to perfection for swift response, and intuitive focusing the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III offers superior image quality as well as breathtaking 4K video recording made for the most challenging subjects.

• 20.1MP CMOS Sensor + DIGIC X image processor
• UP to 191-point high-resolution AF sensor (Viewfinder AF)
• Up to 16 fps (OVF)/20 fps (Live View) continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking
• Support for 10-bit HEIF recording (HDR PQ)
• 5.5K 50p/60p cropless in-camera RAW movie shooting
• Canon Log (YCbCr 4:2:2, 10-bit)
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth low energy connectivity

High Speed Continuous Shooting

The swift speed of burst shooting enables a higher chance for professional photographers to capture that precise moment when the composition is perfect. The EOS-1D X Mark III fires at an impressive shooting speed of up to 16 fps using the viewfinder, in sync with the newly developed AF/AE system for rapid response on precision autofocus and exposure control in every decisive shot.

AF Tracking Precision

In viewfinder shooting mode, the EOS-1D X Mark III features the latest AF sensor that supports up to 191 AF points* (up to 155 cross-type AF points*). This allows EOS-1D X Mark III to maintain focus even in low contrast and dimly lit shooting conditions up to EV-6** where conventional AF systems struggle to grasp.

4K Movie Shooting

The EOS-1D X Mark III supports the cinematic aspect ratio standard of 4K 60p UHD/DCI, utilizing the full width of the camera’s 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor for immersive wide-angle shooting in outstanding quality. The camera is also capable of capturing 5.5K RAW movies* while simultaneously recording Canon Log (MP4)**, to support development work on movie production. Proven in Cinema EOS System, the 4:2:2 10-bit Canon Log profile provides users with up to 12 stops of dynamic range, offering rich details with a high degree of freedom in grading.

New CMOS Sensor & DIGIC X

EOS-1D X Mark III is powered by the latest DIGIC X imaging processor, boosting performance in all aspects – from resolution to colour reproduction to noise reduction – far beyond those employed in its predecessors. With default ISO speed of up to 102400 (expandable to 50, 204800, 409600 & 819200), the camera is capable of advanced noise reduction, delivering clean and well-defined images even in low-light situations.

HDR PQ HEIF 10-Bit Recording

The EOS-1D X Mark III is the first EOS DSLR to process image data and record HEIF 10-bit files with HDR PQ, a new gamma curve to maximise dynamic range.

Clarity

The EOS-1D X Mark III features “Clarity” as a new image quality adjustment function for adjusting edge contrast. Unlike the existing “Contrast” of Picture Style, this function enables adjustment of contrast (sharpness) around edges while suppressing the loss of detail in highlights and shadows in the overall image, allowing users to enhance a sense of sharpness in low-contrast images or maintain a soft appearance to a subject’s skin.

Built-In Digital Lens Optimizer

The EOS-1D X Mark III’s built-in Digital Lens Optimizer soundly corrects diffraction blur and optical aberrations based on the design values of compatible lenses to avoid compromising depth-of-field control and image quality degradation, allowing you to obtain top-notch quality images even without post-processing. EOS-1D X Mark III also features an in-camera RAW image development with a stronger Digital Lens optimizer effect when needed.

Advanced Controls

An innovative addition to the new EOS-1D X Mark III is a customisable smart controller that allows for swift and easy selection of your desired AF point by dragging your finger over the AF-ON button. Touch sensitivity of the button can be adjusted to change the speed of AF point movement according to your shooting needs. Additionally, intelligent design through a combination of well-placed dials, customisable multi-controllers and a fully touchscreen interface place even greater control in your hands to capture your prized shot.
