Tony Northrup previews the Canon 1DX Mk III (sdp.io/1dx3), Canon’s 20 megapixel, full-frame DSLR for professional sports, wedding, portrait, and wildlife photographers. It has up to 20 FPS, 5.5K video, 4k/60 video, and EVERY other feature Canon could possibly come up with… but it has some serious weaknesses, too, and you still might be happier buying the Sony a9.

Love the thorough review and comment at the end. Never knew about the conflict. Great video!
Australia's largest media organisation just auctioned off all its DSLRs and moved to Sony APS-C kit instead. It started when news photographers were saying they were sick of lugging all that heavy big gear around and started leasing their own Sony a6400's. Now the default is an a6600 with the 16-55 f2.8. One other body with a longer zoom optional. Also they put a 30mb file size limit on uploads. They have stock presets uploaded and now they send jpegs via wifi to their iPhone 11 which acts a as a spare camera, and sends them direct to the news server over the 4G network. 5G will make it almost instantaneous. Videos are 1080p/60, max 10 minutes, to keep the file sizes manageable.
Its all about carrying less kit, eliminating old school processing workflow and making photographers much more mobile.
Very interesting. I've seen at least a couple general assignment Chicago news photographers on staff at one of the papers and they don't carry the 1DX models. Don't blame them. Just not necessary for ordinary reportage. 5DMark-whatevers, if I recall, and only one had a battery/vertical grip.
ABC? Nine/Fairfax?
Thanks for pointing out the limitations on reviewers who receive pre-production models; that's an important distinction which purchasers should keep in mind -- particularly when evaluating a $6500 purchase.
best explanation of the 1dmkIII on youtube so far. Always quality on this channel - thanks!
I hate when reviewers downplay certain features because they don’t see the use for it themselves. Sure, raw video is nothing to the casual shooter, but for filmmakers, it’s a game changer.
This is basically the Canon 1DC mark II. But cheaper. This camera is gonna get used in a lot of Hollywood cinema rigs because of its size and raw ability.
Great stuff, Tony, thanks muchly.
Great review as usual. I really admire photojournalists and I always loved seeing their instincts at work.
The last few minutes of the review were gold for me. Talking about how you can't critique the photos and being an unpaid beta tester was the best, most honest portion of the video.
Excellent review. It is the best I've seen so far. The reviews that raced to be on UA-cam ASAP after the CES announcement missed several of the limitations that you clearly identified and clearly described. Those other reviews were useful but in comparison, they were superficial compared to yours.
I am not a pro but I see many youtubers saying that pros don't shoot in live view, agreed. But pros use tripod or monopods and I don't see a reason why on a monopod or a tripod live view can't be used when the situation demands. Btw Thanks for the review Tony.
I shoot via the screen. Why wouldn't you rather than lay on the ground.
I'll use live view on occasion with the a9 but only when I have to (like some basketball player is wayyy close and I can't be blind but I still want the shot)
But the thing is about the mirrorless cameras is they have that sensor that detects your eye, so taking my eye off and looking at the viewfinder is nothing, it's just instant switch back and forth. With the 1dx it's going to be a menu setting or button or something, no one needs that hassle.
Matt M I agree live view is very nice to use on mirrorless... on dslr you lose time so you ended using it only in some critical situations
Great review. I am a Canon fan...I just started getting into Photography and bought an 80D and i love it. Once i get good enough i will most likely go FF and depending on how many lenses i have will probably stay with Canon. But i must say we have the Sony a7RIII at work and when i picked it up...held it...and looked through the viewfinder i was blown away. We also have a D610 and i like that as well. So i agree with you on 2 huge issues that in this day and age are taking way too long to become mainstream and that is 1) Hybrid Viewfinders and 2) 4G/5G sims in the cameras for instant cloud backup.
Wow! That last section about reviews! Thanks for the honesty!
Tony's focus is on matching the product and the user. I think he, KaiW and Heilbron are the most matter of fact on YT.
KaiW actually goes out, shoots & shows. He is 'different'.
tony starting to look like a latino dr. steven strange.
Oh! we're using our made up names... I'm spiderman!
and i am the blue marvel.
Yes!!!! He's a friend from work!!!!
Lmao!
He's going through the "phase." Its all downhill from there.
Thanks Tony, great first look at it.
To me, thanks to a previous video in another channel, the camera looked like same as before but a bit better for sports but not much.
The issue with Sony is that is giving up with Canikon (as Pentax, etc....) with bringing lenses to events as Canon and Nikon do.
Maybe the day Sony do the same an borrow lenses to pros then the real change/switch will happen. I dont see it happening before.
Your reviews are always the best!
That 80's Casio display lives on, and on, and on....
It just works
I personally love it, I hope it never goes away
and long may it reign
If it ain't broke...
It just works and I think is better than using lowercase o’s instead of 0s like the other big pro brand...
Have not watched in a while. Tony looks like Mr. Miaggi from Karate Kid now.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge for us to use🙏
Awesome review as usual. Does the 1DX3 have a true silent shutter? Thanks SBP
Your last comments on Pre-Production reviewing made the whole video worth the 25minutes. Well done man. Keep it up.
Makes you wonder what he was not allowed to talk about. Sounds juicy.
@@paulbarnard5267 not allowed by whom? He said in the beginning it's a compilation of the facts that he gathered from others. He doesn't have anything to test on now, he will buy it later when production is ready.
subwarpspeed by Canon of course. When provided with preproduction equipment you sign an agreement on what you can and can’t talk about. Tony made that clear in his video. The fact he mentioned it and the way in which he mentioned it and the fact he STRONGLY advised people to wait for real review suggests, to me at least, there was a major issue that he was not permitted to talk about. He also talked about frames per second many times. I wondered if it is something with that or focus accuracy or not supporting certain focusing during burst.
And since he clearly did not sign any agreement..he has cleverly worded his presentation to subtly point out his concerns???
Hey Tony, don't worry about it man. We can speculate on your behalf ..thanks for pointing us in the right direction..😜
Adetunji Oyewunmi then why did be specifically tell people not to place a pre order? He has never failed to grab the kick back on preorder of other cameras? The warning was so out of character and so emphasised that it makes me, at least, wonder what’s behind it.
It sounds like this camera will require a gimbal on a large tripod or, at least, a large tall monopod for video or mirrorless mode work. Maybe a cloth shroud, pulled back from the camera and covering the photographers heed and shoulders, could be used to professionalize the arms-length viewing stance imposed by the fixed rear screen and lack of a combo dual-mode OVF/EVF.
Nope. Simply fix a Optical loupe to the back of the screen, and voila ! Instant EVF. I have done this with several cameras and it works a treat.
@@nordic5490 The optical loop is for critical focus using manual lenses, not an EVF replacement.
@@nordic5490 That's rather less ostentatious, though certainly a more practical work-around.
Peter McKinnon UA-camr extraordinaire sometimes films on his Canon 1DX MK 2 on a gimbal hand held!
Good video, you are right about deciding not to do previews anymore if you can't the show camera results. I suppose many youtube channels are more than willing to have a scoop of a new camera preview, but these previews are just a trick by manufacturers to attract customers if you are not allowed to criticise the camera.
Appreciate your frank discussion and advice. I may be thinking about this camera differently than most. I am looking at it as enhancing the ability to get good video without an operator whether the operator is on a second actual video camera or I am doing something on my own that day. 1DX Mark III has eye detection in addition to face detection in live view. My impression is the autofocus is significantly enhanced rather than just a tweak. As you said nobody really complains about the AF on the Mark II but I think there is significant improvement in AF which speaks to just how good it probably is. Not just new tech but many more focus points and much faster processing of AF which should result in a higher hit-rate of in-focus shots and less hunting in video mode. My thought is on a tripod for one-person shooting you could probably have really shallow depth-of-field and not have the camera hunting for focus. Not only that but since it has the so-called "deep learning" tech if you wanted to turn away from the camera and look at something while talking presenting a side profile or even with back to camera the system will continue to track your head rather than refocusing on something. You can also adjust more parameters in how the focus behaves. I believe the eye tracking and recognition of human (head rather than just face) is available in live view photo and video modes - maybe limited to crop modes for 4k 60? Am I missing something or will the Mark III be significantly better to set on a tripod and move into field of view for one-person production than any other Canon camera? That is kind of how I am looking at it - much better "unattended" shooting. Put an Atomos monitor on the hot shoe facing you and let the camera worry about focus. Record 4K 60 to Atomos to get around expensive CFexpress cards. I think it also gets around the 30 minute limitation. So am I looking at this wrong? Wouldn't the 1DX Mark III be the ultimate single-camera tripod setup for someone who wants to record themselves without a camera person?
Hello Tony,
Any thoughts on high ISO performance between 1DX Makii vs Mkiii?
Does Sony have better high ISO performance compared to canon 1DXMkii particularly interested in Sony a7R4
A7III has better high ISO performance, but the A7R4 has the worst high ISO performance of the current Sony cameras. The pixel density is too high. Though, people don't buy 61MP cameras typically to shoot high ISO....and people don't buy 20MP cameras to shoot architecture and landscape, so different tools. I own A7III, A7Riii, and A7R4. I shoot architecture professionally, and for that the A7R4 is a dream. Get it anywhere over ~ISO 320 though and it's noisy...over ISO 1600, forget about it.
Loud&Clear thanks a lot for your response. Primarily for wildlife would you recommend a Sony A7R3 or Canon 1dxmkii? Because sometime we need to bump iso in wildlife photography due to weather conditions
Riyaz Ahmed I’d take the A9 over both of those, with the 1DX2 a close second. The Sony R bodies work best when stabilized. Having said that, as long as you have enough light to keep your shutter speed high enough, both of the Sony R bodies will take much more detailed images.
Suppose to be 1/2 to 1 stop better than 1DX2
Thank you Tony/Chelsea. Your comments on pre-production reviews makes so much sense. I have a question on IBIS in general... logically (which I’ll admit may be flawed...), it seems like it would be better if the image showed up at the sensor stabilized (lens IS) vs having the camera trying to both stabilize and perform AF. I get all the reasons why IBIS could be a benefit, specifically with lenses with no IS, but what is the better design? IS helps AF, but should the process be serial or parallel? Thank you!!!
For this kind of gear IBIS is not needed, because all the pros will use this camera either with external stabilization or tripods monopods... IBIS only helps for casual photographers and those wont buy this expensive camera.
Pro level EF lens usually have image stabilization already so EBIS makes sense and EBIS is in the documentation.
Very good comments about pre-production camera reviewing... Thx Tony!!
I’m looking at getting a 1Dxiii now in 2022. How are the file sizes for compressed video in 4K and 1080p? I’m not professional for video I just enjoy it so don’t want massive files. Also do you know how easy is it to transfer compressed photos straight to a smartphone or tablet? Thanks. Great review as per. Love the look of the camera such a solid workhorse.
I'm surprised Canon didn't offer a snap on EVF for the hot shoe for when a user wanted to go mirrorless.
4:03 - How did you know? Were you able to test the 1DX Mark III in the field?
@@BarHarborMoOse I used it.
@@cameralabs So did I!
@@thatjordandrake I know you did! I don't think many of us actually got to try it out in person. We were two of the chosen ones!
*Very nice point about the pre-production reviews...*
Tony - Thanks for your initial comments on this camera. As you proceed to a more hands on, field test type review, one thing I am most interested to learn more about is how dual pixel focus tracking (using as mirrorless camera) on this camera compares to the phase detection (using as DSLR) for fast moving subjects (primarily mammals and birds in flight).
I have searched the reviews on the internet and there is no attempt to compare the two, under any circumstances. To me, this comparison answers question that potential buyers of this camera might have and will also suggest where Canon is headed in the future. Focus tracking is a key performance aspect and for many photographers.......until dual pixel at least equals phase detection for speed and accuracy they will not purchase a mirrorless camera. Thanks Ron
for the whole 24 minutes of the video he's telling me am poor and can't buy the camera ..🤣🤣🤣
Don't worry, you're saving your back, arms and hands while having the ability to shoot the same quality stills and video from other cameras.
As a 2x 1dx mark ii owner here are my gripes:
No ibis
No flip out screen
Still not sure if it has Autofocus in 120fps
Haven't heard if it has time-lapse to video in camera.
I think I'm almost ready to switch to Sony...
I thank you for the disclaimer at the end canon have tricked me in the past with their tactics, I'm waiting and always will from now on
Nate's Escape You forgot that you need a wheelbarrow to carry the camera around
There is a reason for the flip out screen and IBIS deletion. It makes the camera bulletproof. Please, go buy a Sony.
Oh ok so you think Canon’s ibis won’t be very durable and flip out screens aren’t durable. Ok
flip out screens aren’t durable...? (wiggling my K-1 by only holding the flip out screens)
Great video! The crop on the 1DX Mark II in 4K, both 30 and 60, is 1,34x according to Canon. This was until the Mark III the “less-cropped” 4K 60p on a non-cinema camera
As always, awesome video. thanks
I think in the future it might be wise you actually getting a camera and testing it out before trying to make comments on its performance. Looking at the live view performance of actual production Mark 3 cameras, it is easily as good as the Sony and can track football players and fast moving subjects without any problems, although I do agree with your comment that holding a dslr out in front while looking at the rear screen is really difficult especially with say a 300 f2.8 or larger lens.
Colin Carter that is correct. He obviously didn’t use the camera.
Mk3 cams are not even close to the a1 though
1D X Mark II already has a integrated GPS module.
That's what I was thinking. It's the inbuilt Wi-Fi that's the great addition.
I'm way late to this dance; my used Mark III should be arriving Monday, and I'm like a kid at Christmastime. I'm only a serious hobbyist, nowhere near a professional, and this camera is clearly more than I would ever need (I've had all sorts of good results with my EOS 300D, 20D, and 7D). I totally appreciate your candor and objectivity about the Mark III. But you know what? I'm turning 60 in a few days, and this was my present to myself, and I have a pretty clear conscience about that! Really looking forward to working with this thing!
Canon cathing up sony, but I still prefer smaller cameras, the weight of the equipment i am carrying is very curicial i try to carry 2 cameras several lenses gimbal flash 360cam to do more creative jobs and use the advantage of variety of tools depends on the situation. Having a light camera body makes a huge difference in every way . Thanks for the video 👌🏻
Catching up ? Go to any sports events and you will see the pros all use DSLRS, mostly Canon. No Sony to be seen.
There is a reason for this.
10:43 - DP Review is reporting the 4K 60 crop at 1.3x
It has a crop mode ,and also a full readout mode
Buddy: useless? You do know that most arri Alexa and red cameras (that they shoot hollywood films with) shoot in super 35 so i Guess they are useless to.
Isn't it 1.5x with Canon's digital stabilization? Another review confirmed the same.
@@Jackourd it's still very far away from useless though. People are gonna make award winning documentary movies with this camera.
@@Jackourd
If you have real money you buy a RED or an Alexa. Not a Canon or Sony.
This isn't a video camera for pros. It's a sports and wildlife photographers camera.
For photography.
I think tilting screen and IBIS would compromise the overall bullet proof ruggedness of the brick action pros have come to expect from these line of cameras?
typical remark. the pros also said that mirrorless cameras would never amount to anything.
Pros said the digital cameras are bullshit and film is better
Well I was also hoping there would be IBIS, but then again, who needs IBIS for a camera that is designed to be used with monopods?
I mean yes it sounds appealing and all, but for the real professionals what does it account for? If you shoot in dark, you typically use flashes or other means to light up the subject, IBIS wont save you and you cant write off everything on it... If you shoot sports all day, IBIS wont save your hands from the weight of the setup but the monopod is a must... If you shoot landscapes, tripod is a must...
So really what does the IBIS account to? only casual photographers and those wont really bother with this kind of setup... They will buy cheaper options and those will contain IBIS it seems...
True no IBIS, but if you read the documentation ... it's got EBIS ... o.O
The 1DX is first and foremost a stills camera. On the other hand, just "stills" won't cut it in today's market.
Great video! Larry Chen's photos and video looks amazing!!
Great review Tony, I can believe Peter Mckinnons review has 380k views already. Looking forward to see how is does with sports and racing!
Tony if you keep growing that beard I am going to start writing my future comments under your videos in Chinese.
Buy a Sony a9II plus a 135GM for the same price😜
BAMM...!!! 😂
Oh shit the Sony fanbois are on a Canon video what's new lol
Yes that’s why I listen to your vlog I want to know what the camera is “really like”! I wish it could have been smaller, even if just a bit and at least 26 MP. An adjustable screen would have been real nice but I knew that would never happen. I would like to know if the Canon color is more like the original 1dx and not like the 1DX Mark II which I did not go for.
@UC8N0NFBcOI_b3wrkXYaGAKw
I hate the small form factor of my sony A7R3 so I would buy one of these just for the size.
Well some features i.e. tilt screen or newer top screen ( instead of retro LCD) may compromise the "bulletproof factor"?
The spectacular "Honey I Shrunk Tony" Thumbnail got my attention in my Subscription page! Well Done Tony. 👍
You don't "hold the camera " out in front of you. You have it mounted to a tripod to use the 20fps.
Excellent review thank you. I suspect that about half way through your video you were talking about the low pass filter and you meant to refer to the mark II but you actually said mark III which did not make any sense in the context that you said it. Thank you.
I get banding on cameras with mechanical shutter all the time shooting sports. Depending on the lights will depend at what shutter speed. If the lights are cheap 1/250th and up I get it. We are talking about the banding seen because of the light’s flicker right?
My dad ordered two of these for me for my brothers wedding. Now I got to learn how to take a photo with it. Where would you suggest I learn photography? I've only got so long.... Can't wait to take photos on my vacation in the fall.
Happy Slappy! Check out Tony’s other vids lots of tutorials even on the 1DX

@@HappySlappii I saw that you are joking from the first post :D
May I ask why? These cameras seem overkill for wedding photography, wouldn't it be much cheaper to hire a wedding photographer?
Love the trolling top notch
This is a really good review! As a Sony shooter, I want to see some real competition and this should provide that. My only complaint is that in demonstrating live view you keep using a lens with a short focal length. Trying to chimp the back screen with a 500mm f/4 might be a really interesting demo of a significant problem.
I'm sure most peeps using a 500 will have a monopod, so no issues
@@AcidicDelusion Interesting, I didn't know the monopod comes with and EVF.
@@AcidicDelusion , a valid point. But then perhaps it would be more realistic for reviews and public demonstrations to always show photographers walking around with monopods rather than hand-holding setups with short focal length lenses. Also, have you ever tried LiveView in the golden hour with the sun at your back?
thank you bro 4 your honesty
Just excellent review! Thank you!

At last something worthy (?) to shoot my dog with. Thanks Tony. I was worried that my dog would never get to see those awesome photos!
One of the very best reviews of this camera. Great job! What camera are you using to film the review? The image quality and color are great.
EOS R I think :-)
unbelievably you get better and better all that information between all those camera models also compared to each other. detailed information that the pro wants to know thank you so much god bless you
As a Sony user, I might not be right to ask this question, because at the same time I think why not use a Sony A9II with 20 frames per second with EVF and no blackout, and who uses the screen with a 70-200mm.f.2.8 or yet more telephoto lens in front of the camera? The time for these DSLR cameras is over in a few years, and in four years for the next Olympics we will look back with a smile on our lips when we think of this dinosaur!
photons my friend photons. EVF will get close but never as fast to get image to the brain as an OVF. this is how dinosaurs think.
Jess Demant Aggeboe 20FPS electronic shutter which the 1DX matches the A9II, however the A9II doesn’t get close to 16fps mechanical shutter. That Sony pixie dust working its magic.
Becuase Sony sucks lmao
J. Kimmer well, not entirely true though. As technology advances the refresh rate of the EVF WILL get better and better, even now most of them have 120hz and that comparable to what most high end gamers are using on their rigs. Apparently 240hzs is the point where you won’t see a single tear of any kind. Heck I think it was LG just release a fully functional 300hz monitor.
You may hold on to your OVF for a little while my friend, but there’s no reason to be afraid of using an EVF in the near future; I can hold your hand if you want 😂
@@MrAyybee2cold The A9's have a proven capability to track focus at 20 FPS, the 1DXM2 could only achieve 10 FPS with tracking focus. It will be interesting to see what the M3 will be able to achieve, but will likely be less than 20 FPS.
Looks like Tony has more than a couple of reservations about this camera.....
Not surprised.
No camera is exactly precisely what's on Tony's wishlist, so that's only fair
Reading between the lines of what Tony's saying I think we can expect there to have been some reasonably important issue/issues with the pre-production model; when someone's recommending you hold back on getting them a slice of 6.5k people should probably take note!
@@WilliamSpencer90 Tony didnt has his hands on the 1DX Mk3, but other reviewers did. I dont read anything between the lines.
The video is 5.5k not 6.5k.
Good work, Tony. Thanks.
I got opportunity to play with this camera 2 days ago on Canon demo,its absolute top beast.Nothing comes close how fast its AF is and how fast its shoot in serie,like machine gun! With long lens it was really feeling like I shot with machine gun.Incredible.EOS 90D,EOS 5D Mark IV don't even come close compares to 1DX Mark III in AF speed. Some idiots claiming about this camera is obsolete,but they just nothing understand in professional sports photography.
Great for my bank account to see an expensive camera I have zero interest in. I don't need speed, just more megapixels.
Then don't waste your time on the review and write snarky comments.
1dx is not made for ppl who need high mp. Lower mp offers higher shooting speed
Kai Yi Cool and cleaner pictures in low light situations.
Gee Tony, why don't you ever mention that the 20fps of the Sony is in compressed raw. Ie., lower image quality.

What if you have no coverage? Or your in another country where you need a local isp.
Imagine shooting surfers on a remote beach where there is no cell coverage!
Great video, Tony. Well thought out from beginning to end. Even the disclaimers were delivered well, and your production is looking great these days. It's hard to see the 1DX3 being attractive to anyone except pros currently using 1DX2s that are getting long in the tooth. For those guys, the Mk3 could make some sense, but IMO Canon has left too much on the table for this body to appeal to anyone else. I mean, $6500 and it's not even their most current mount?! All of the awesome glass Canon has been developing lately cant even be used with it....eye detect only through live view, and still no IBIS? DSLRs will be dead in a few years, and this is a LOT of coin to drop on a dying breed. If only they'd build an EOS R with these speed and specs they'd bury Sony. $6500 for s DSLR though is a tough pill.
Not everyone jumps to each new iteration. I waited 10 years to upgrade to a 1dx mark III. I really like the traditional 1d series workflow and not yet ready for mirrorless. Maybe in 10 years 2032 I will take a look. But for me its the right tool.
So should I buy one? Think I’ll wait for the tilt screen, just can’t see being able to shoot the way I do without one. Can you use your IPhone as a pan/tilt screen with this camera?
I hate to say it, because I like your channel: You simply don’t know, how the new AF-Module works with the OVF and you also don’t know, how the DPAF in liveview has improved. But you tell it as it was already a fact, that DPAF is not fast enough for true sports photography like the A9 and that 16fps with the OVF is marketing BS. Wait with such statements, until you have proof.
My thoughts exactly. I imagine that DPAF would be improved massively with a much faster processor, which, to my understanding the 1dx-iii has a single processor that's 3x as fast as the dual processors of the 1dx-ii.
Canon does it again - and just in time for the 2018 Olympics.
@@d.k.1394 Yeah yeah, the Winter Games nobody cares about lol
LOL best comment
Nicely done!
Craig, are you a sports photographer? Just wondering if you, as a sports photographer, what you shoot with now and why this camera's tech is 2018? Since this camera is aimed towards wildlife, journalism, and sports photography. It seems that everyone has an opinion, but I've yet to see one from a professional sports photographer. So I'm hoping your "funny" comment has some real insight as a sports photographer.
It's too bad that they don't offer a 4k 60p 16:9 crop option with AF, only DCI which I feel like is generally less commonly used, no?
Is the A9 offers 10 fps in mechanical shutter like Tony says at 5.38 or is he talking about the A9II ?
I thought it was 5 fps for the origina A9. Is there a firmware who changed this ?
I think the 16fps may be a little more than theoretical...
From the Canon white paper:
"One specific improvement in AF system speed is that the rate of separate AF detections during AI Servo AF shooting is significantly faster in the Mark III camera. In other words,
in the brief fraction of a second between shots at up to 16 fps, when the mirror is in its down
position, the AF system performs more sampling operations, more separate AF readings."
But taking more separate AF readings does NOT speed AF up, it increases the accuracy.
The lens focusing system must also be capable to keep up, only the latest offerings have any chance of obtaining 16 FPS.
@@hwirtwirt4500 Most of the fastest lenses out there are Canon made.. The USM motor was introduced in like 1990 and still is the fastest AF motor by todays standards.. The 200mm 1,8f and 200mm 2f lenses using these motors still are the fastest focusing lenses by todays standards... Even the cheapo 85mm 1,8f USm is bloody fast.. So it all depends on the body...
So use a mono pod!
Yep, when you've got a big tele lens on it anyways, you probably have a monopod. Just look at the sidelines of just about any football game.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Random unrelated question ... Is there any data that shows full-frame cameras are somehow "better" when in crop mode (i.e. faster, smarter, sharper). Thanks!
Already on preorder
i'm debating lol I have the mark II !!
@@rubengarciajr go with it. I own 2 1dxmkiis and plan on keeping them both. Worth it
I'm glad to see Larry Chen in your video - by far the best motorsports photographer
Agreed.
I just wanted to ask you to have a recent uploads section on your home page. The home page doesn't show this now and I have to go to the videos page to find out what the latest is. Also, the "best to watch first" is probably unnecessary as it never changes and for most of your subscribers it is probably of no interest anymore. Better to put it in a playlist. Thanks for the show.
Hello Tony and Chelsea, if you ever do a review for Canon's R5 and R6, would you please touch on the shutter lag compared to other cameras? When shooting a speaker on stage, I am never able to get the eye and mouthing I'm looking for with a RP and their EVF. The OVF delay and the shutter delay along with the slower burst speed made that difficult. Thanks.
Will do. That's actually a pretty big deal... I did some tests and some cameras have a LOT of lag.
USB-C charging should have been a standard protocol on all cameras
the pro end of the market don't ever really charge a battery whilst it's in the camera
@@dayspoiler4608 Then don't include a micro USB. In fact, don't include any charging because Micro USB in 2020 is a slap in the face.
Having a camera with usb-c is a game changer. I work with a Lumix S1H and being able to plug it into the wall while charging another battery in the charger is the best. It absolutely should be standard for all professional cameras.
because it comes with a battery charger. you take the battery out to charge it. like every other pro camera on the planet
I’m confused as to who “the pros” are you keep referring to. I’m a professional videographer and absolutely love the usb-c integration.
I don’t think anyone watching this channel would need such a beast of a camera hahaha
M. F. Exactly
You two literally contradicted yourselves. LOL 😂
venom5809 Not true, I don’t have the Camera nor would I ever buy the camera but I watch the channel
@UCi9AbnSieaum9NVM-yVUoJw
I do. I will keep my A7R3 for my Ronin and use the Canon for my main camera. I hate the small form factor as a pro. The Sony is like a toy.
Great advice as always...
Nice what you point out at the end! Bravoo!
The crop gate is over
isnt. 4k60p full frame has no auto focus, also limited to 30min. canon cripple hammer
Bruno Lazaro lets just forget the fact that in 4K/5.5k @ 24, 25, 30fps has AF. Nope let’s just cling to something negative.
Crop gate ? You mean the 1.5x 4k crop in the a7r3 when in high quality mode ? Or, perhaps you mean the 1.5x crop in nearly every other high end professional video camera ? I reckon you are a Canon basher troll.
@@cbflazaro canon cripple hammer? They're one of the few big name brands that is now offering RAW video recording so yeah, sure.
@@nordic5490 i'm not a Canon basher or anything like this. Reckon you're a dick
IF I COULD THUMBS UP TWICE, I WOULD...GREAT VID TONY
You can....
Focus guide and focus peaking (but not af) work in all video modes including 4K60 FF and Raw video FF.
At 21:44 starts the most important section of this video. And probably the answer why one should watch it at all. Well done. If I'm interested in ads about a camera, I'll watch their official site. In a review, I want some valid and useful info.
Don't mind me. I'm only here because of camera conspiracies...
Talking about Canon while showing Nikon and Sony cameras on the table doesn't feel right
Iggy nor he did do some comparison of all three cameras I think that was the reason he had all three cameras on the table.
He had only sony and Nikon bodies... I think he didn’t had 1DX iii on hand and probably the reason why he use Nikon body just to give an example...
Good point on the Ibis, just want to add that Fuji for example has both and they work in tandem with eachother to produce better stabilisation.
1DX mk III looks so appealing. It will be exciting to see what the camera performs like, especially the focus at 16fps and also the low light performance. Would love to see how much noise is present in challenging lighting. As a one man operation shooting video, the C300 mk II still looks by far the better choice for me.DPAF is not fully implemented on the 1DX mk III. I need to look at the impact of that on my intended video use. I like it. The investigation begins :)
Is this perhaps a kind of refresh only, similar to what Sony did and got scoffed at for?
Maybe not. You would have to get one in your hands to see.
just watch larry chen with that beast for 5 days / no need more
One could always use something like the "Varavon Multifinder Uni Universal LCD ViewFinder" as a kludgy workaround to the optical view finder. Or wait another ten years for Canon to come out with an electronic viewfinder and a global shutter on the 1DX XX XXX XXXXX.
My 5D IV is able to directly uploading files to cloud storage but also to FTP servers. For example to google drive! The install process was confusing: I logged into my account over my pc while my camera was connected. BUT: it’s not always running in the background if that’s what you meant
