When conditions are tough, the light is poor but the pressure''s on, the EOS-1D X Mark III lets you capture winning images before the competition. It''s the ultimate creative toolkit, with superb low-light performance, deep learning AF and 5.5K Raw video.

Pushing to the extreme
When your assignment requires equipment that will get incredible results in the harshest
conditions, the EOS-1D X Mark III is ideal.

Speed
Fast and intelligent AF with Deep Learning, and fast frame rates up to 20fps.

Best of both worlds
With 20fps in Live View or optical viewfinder for real-time shooting, the EOS-1D X Mark III gives you the best of mirrorless and DSLR technology.

NEW TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED

HEIF image format
The High-Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format is the next generation file format for digital photographers. It''s based on the HEVC/H.265 video codec and allows for higher image quality with no concurrent increase in file size, compared with JPEGs. HEIF files have fewer artefacts and increased dynamic range with 10-bit colour depth.

Deep learning AF
The EOS-1D X Mark III is equipped with a deep learning autofocus algorithm that has been programmed using real-world examples of sports photography from virtually every event you can imagine - from football to athletics and much more. It can recognise the faces of athletes even when they are obscured by goggles or helmets and knows when subjects are upside down - in diving competitions, for example.

DIGIC X Image Processor
At the heart of the EOS-1D X Mark III is a single DIGIC X image processor that operates with incredible speed and efficiency. DIGIC X is responsible for both the camera''s responsive performance - typified by its 20fps continuous shooting 4k/60p oversampled video - and
its superlative image quality. The processor enables enhanced DLO, ALO and Highlight Tone Priority, plus very low levels of noise at high ISO.

Gaussian low pass filter
A gaussian low pass filter samples light over a greater number of pixels than a conventional low pass filter, so artefacts such as moire can be tackled while preserving fine sharpness and clarity.

CFexpress
The EOS-1D X Mark III features dual CFexpress card slots, which are capable of writing information at incredible speeds. The camera can capture 1000 shots in a continuous burst and even then only needs two seconds to clear its memory buffers. After consultation with professional photographers, the dual card slots in the EOS-1D X Mark III can be assigned
individually to either still photos or video.

Smart controllers
We''ve given the EOS-1D X Mark III a pair of smart controllers - one for horizontal shooting; the other for vertical. These revolutionary devices - which are built into the camera''s AF-ON buttons - are shaped like a traditional joystick but behaviour more like a miniature touchpad that can be used to scroll AF points around the screen.

Each controller is customised for sensitivity and speed and reacts intuitively even when you''re wearing gloves. The camera automatically disables the vertical controller when you''re shooting horizontally to avoid accidental movements.
