Canon 1D X Mark III Camera Review (Photography) : TWO Cameras in ONE Body? 

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Much appreciated

Thanks Zack!

Hi Jose! Thanks for the kind words. Yes you are right there are a lot of features we could cover but we needed to make a choice for viewers: point out the most relevant or go through many features that many might not watch because the video would be too long.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Hopefully you like the video after watching it

Thanks Alex!

Canon did a great job with it 👍

Thanks for the kind words and the sub

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Gary. I do hope the price does come down a bit, but the 1DX cameras tend to hold their value quite well.

Great cameras!

Agree. It really is something Canon needs to put into all their future cameras

Yes there are a number of controls now if you need JPEG which are great and your right gives you greater control over the looks of your images right out of camera. There is a lot more to cover on this camera’s features, but we struggle with having a 20min video to potentially 30-40 minute one.

TECH360.TV looking forward to more reviews

Thank you!

Yes it does help with that. Noticed a difference shooting with it. I found lower shutter speeds this worked well or full electronic shutter. Fast action first curtain or mechanical though.

Great place to take pics. Too bad we were limited where we could go to get more for the review

Thanks.Took time and many meetings.

Yes. 24A

R5. 1DX only if you need the build quality

Good question, and perhaps for some it would have them think twice especially now if the additional funds they were going to earn from the Olympics to justify the price of this camera. When the Olympics come around next year we might already have a mirrorless version of the 1DX system and so that could impact sales on this, but for a lot of professional photographers in the sports field they still prefer an OVF and DSLR system. I think the camera will definitely have a market, but all depends what happens in the camera industry between now and then.

Thanks. Thats the plan if we can get all the cameras together at the same time. However if we can't get all the cameras together we will try our best to compare them based on image quality and my experiences

TECH360.TV Well you do a great job from a lockdown Ireland

Thanks. Hope you and your family are safe.

Thanks. It’s a peak design strap

TECH360.TV Thank you , From where I can buy it?

Can check out Cathay Photo here in Singapore

Thanks for watching. The Mark II is also a great camera. Definitely a good backup to the Mark IV you have. The 1DX Mark III would have become your main camera and also quite a bit more expensive 😊

@@TECH360TV Thanks a lot too! Tell me, you have been using both cameras. Is there big image quality difference between the Mark II and the Mark III?

There is a significant difference but it also depends on your needs. Like I said the review the image quality has improved, AF, Live view etc etc. Its a very good camera but does it make the Mark II obsolete? No not at all. The Mark II is still a solid camera.

@@TECH360TV Thanks a lot for your reply! i'm waiting for your future reviews. Keep safe and greetings from Germany!

Thanks and you too!

Hi Mark, for me personally I prefer the R5 due to resolution. If I need to crop in I have that leeway but with the 1DX, you can crop in but limited with only 20 MP. However I prefer the build quality and battery life of the 1DX much more than the R5

I have the R5 on order and was considering changing to the Mk III . It seems to me that 45mp is important but also R5 is way lighter and smaller with very similar speed, low light performance and autofocus capabilities. I hope my L series Lenses will be ok and that it’s a great choice

L series work perfectly with it. Of course the newer ones will perform better than old L lenses but that’s to be expected. Speed wise you have the electronic shutter if needed but even the mechanical shutter will perform extremely well. Also one big thing with the R5 is animal eye tracking. Its really impressive

We didn't this until one of our viewers pointed this out :)

Happy Hour?

The smallest monitor would prob be a ninja v I believe and that would be a lot of extra weight.

We didn’t noticed till the video was published

I didn’t notice anything like that when using it

@@TECH360TV Thanks for the reply. I did some searching after posting and there are definite major artifact issues with the Live View unfortunately. Disappointing for a sports camera. In order to use Live View, the subject has to stand perfectly still. Thanks again.

Sure. I don’t know why you asked me then haha

@@TECH360TV I found it after I asked you :P

Hi. I have seen this issue online, but I haven't seen in it on the units I used. I will check with Canon though and see wha they say.

TECH360.TV 🙏🏻

Reality is 20MP can turn out some fantastic images. Comes down to sensor design and lens. Lens is really one of the things that can make or break a camera system as it’s the glass that dictates what the sensor sees and how much of the image it sees.

@@TECH360TV sorry but you didnt answer my question. of course lens is important but if the same L series lens on 5DIV and 1DXIII which one will be higher resolution and sharper DR? 20 VS 30 MP?

Megapixel is megapixel. If you have more you will have better resolution if both lenses are the same. The 1DX mark III’s new sensor gives the resolution of a 24MP image. But it won’t beat a 30MP one

I was having a hard time finding the setting to have the smart controller on the full time. From my experience it was a two step process to activate it. Perhaps I missed something in the menu system though. Thanks! Yes the 50 1.2 is a great lens. I also wondered they they didn’t go to 24mp as well. While the new sensor does give better image quality than the previous one having more megapixels would have been welcome. Yes there is the possibility for those if they had the hybrid not move to mirrorless right away, but the mirrorless capabilities on this camera are fantastic. Should be interesting to see how the take up on this camera is this year.

TECH360.TV - here you go... as you found, it's not so obvious how to set it up...but hidden deep in a Canon White paper : Direct AF Point selection by touching Smart Controller alone (no need to press AF Point Select button first) (C.Fn menu > Screen #6 > Custom Controls > select Smart Controller > OFF or enabled) If a user wants direct access to the AF adjustments in the Smart Controller, without first pressing the AF Point Select button, this adjustment within the Custom Controls menu of the EOS-1D X Mark III may be of great interest. Enable it in the above-mentioned menu, and now, any time the camera is awake, simply gliding the right thumb across the flat surface of the Smart Controller will immediately change the location of active AF points or zones, during either viewfinder or Live View shooting. Two points to consider: * Faster, unfettered access to immediate changes in AF Area location * Risk of inadvertent changes in AF point location, if AF-ON button is pressed (slight changes in thumb movement at the button, even accidental ones, can shift AF point locations). This is especially the case if Sensitivity has not been reduced to a “-” setting, to minimize AF point movement when there’s very minor thumb movement on the surface of the Smart Controller. Smart Controller suggestion: What some users may want to try is to disable Direct AF Point Selection at the Smart Controller, and activate Direct AF Point Selection at the Multi-controller instead. Now, quick changes in AF point location can be made at any time, via the 8-way Multicontroller. The Smart Controller can be used without hesitation for back-button AF activation, by pressing it straight in. And any time fast, major AF point location adjustments are desired via the Smart Controller, just press the AF Point Select button first, and quick thumb movements on it will rapidly move AF points around the active area. hope that helps

Thanks Mike!! I wish i knew this before we shot the review. I was trying to find such a settling, but with all the functionality in this camera and setting options this one got past me.

Very kind to say. I wish I could afford it as well, but really enjoyed shooting with it.

@@TECH360TV Awesome you replied. I will subscribe and see what else you have to see. I post my first ever camera blog tomorrow hope it goes well for my first on this subject. Thank you

@@TECH360TV I am also interested on how you add the voice over the single shots its is flawless. I use iMovie and paste mine together

All the best on your camera blog!

We have different layers when we edit. A roll is me talking to the camera, B roll is footage we add in post to highlight points I’m talking about. For Lightroom I’m doing a screen record and also recording audio from a separate source then lining them up in post.

But not mechanical shutter...

😊

Always have respect for a 1DX. Those that don’t I can’t relate to them 😊

Sony makes a camera for a child’s hands

ha ha! Noticed that. 3:01 to be precise

Thanks Alex for watching. Stay safe

Right now we are all waiting for a day we can. When that time comes this video is for those that are interested.

We have our XT4 review coming out next week. My experience was different than that. The XT4 is a great camera but it doesn’t beat the 1DX

It makes no sense to compare a professional FF camera with an amateur crop.

Don’t understand

TECH360.TV a woman felt down behind you, at 3:03 📌 Nice review... Bless from 🇵🇦

Oh my! We didn’t realise that until you pointed it out. I’m sure she was okay

Not sure about blows it out of the water. Sony can only do 20fps electronic shutter, Canon can do it with mechanical shutter. Additionally better video capabilities and much faster cards on the Canon.

@@TECH360TV I am sure. Because 20fps the 1DX Mark III can do only in Live View Mode. And who is really using a 600mm Prime in Live View Mode? I don't know anyone. In OVF Mode only 16fps are left. If I want speed, I take the A9 II. Plus, this camera does not get oil spills on the sensor. I had enough of this issue with the 1DX Mark II already and it is not disapering after 2000 shots, I still have it after 100k, maybe less but it is still there substantially. Unforgivable for a camera at this price point. And you know what? You don't have this issue with the A9 II :) LOL

@@Stefan1968ful Another victim of Sony's marketing)) And how many photographers shooting on 1D X switched to Sony A9 from 2017 in percentage terms? By a combination of factors and reliability, Sony will never get ahead of Canon. Yes, and Canon's sensors are better than Sony.

Alexandr Kucherov Ah, is that so? For your information, I use both Sony and Canon for my business. Outdoor, for Wildlife. Including harsh environments. I don’t miss anything with a Sony, they work like a charm even at -30C. I can compare. Can you?

I have the A9II with me currently. I’ve tested them both. I like them both, but for Sony not to update the cards to something faster makes no sense considering they make most cards. OVF still has advantages over EVF sometimes. I wish Canon would have put a hybrid viewfinder in the camera to make it easier to use live view but it is what it is. Not sure what happened to your 1DX and Oil but that’s not an issue I’ve heard from others or experienced.

But he talk much more better than you

Sorry you feel that way about me. I’m just a guy who loves photography and cameras

No he dont. Northrup yes
