Amazing Camera Body

The 1DX MK III is beyond amazing! The FPS capabilities of this camera make capturing the perfect shot with fast moving subjects a breeze. The CF Express cards are a little on the expensive side, but the ability to shoot images at max shutter speed and not having to worry about the buffer are well worth the price.

Versatile camera produces great detailed images

Very fast multiple images for capturing action sports. Details in low light without noise and clear focus makes this one of the best cameras I have ever owned

Canon 1DX Mark III

I have been using this camera for the past 1 month now. I am more into still photography, so far I have shot Birds in flight in Cape cod, Foliage in Venmont and landscape photos in New England. Incredible autofocus!!! This camera focuses very well even with low light scenarios. Face tracking is amazing. I am not a pro photographer, but truly enjoy using this camera. Thanks for bundling it with the SanDisk card and the reader. Extremly satisfied with this camera, thanks a ton Canon!!!

Exceeded Expectations

Received the camera about 2 months ago. Easy to use and a noticeable improvement over the 1DX MK2. For the professional, it's a must have for motorsports, action sports or wildlife photography. Video is great also !

tough as nails so far

i ve had the camera about 2 weeks now. there are some features missing that come in the 5d series like HDR and timelapse but this camera is more geared to sport photographers so I understand that. the one feature thats buried that should be more accessible is which card i want to view . i have to dig in the menu to change it. the ISO is high in number but still see the grain in higher settings. i was hoping for more of a clean image on the higher ISO numbers. 400,000 us not really usable but cool to tell someone it exists. the speed and accuracy of focus is way better than the 5 series. the focus is impressive and the quality of the video in 4k is very nice to me. even though its not canon log and raw using cinestyle profile I can grade in avid quite nicely. the battery life is decent but i do lot of video and thats always more of a drain than video.

EOS 1D Mark III Camera

Let them know it’s a great product. Having had and still using the original and the Mark II, this is everything you would want in a camera, except flippable rear view display. I bought the Sony alpha 9 Mark II, BUT returned it to wait for EOS 1DX Mark III. No regrets, Excellent product

Beautiful

This is my first series 1 camera and I absolutely love it! With a 600mm ii lens and a 2x extender iii it will focus 3X faster than my 5D Mark IV will. I mostly shoot portraits and wildlife and I find minimal noise at 20000 iso witch is insane. Great for that beautiful morning and evening light. I’m extremely happy so far!

Such an incredible next level creative tool that everyone should have

This camera exceeded my expectations. I've been waiting 2 years for it to come out and it doesnt disappoint this camera cannot take bad photos and cannot take bad video. The C-Log footage is stunning and because the camera is so good my post production process actually takes less time with more usable options in both video and photo. Video footage is insane and the low light performance seems impossible. This camera is truly a step up and I am grateful to Canon for giving the world this tool to unleash my creativity.

Canon EOS 1DX mk 3

I shoot a lot in low light as that’s when wolves are most active. Thus camera is incredibly good at tracking the animals, even black wolves stay in focus. Improvements in high ISO noise are a definite bonus. Built in Bluetooth, GPS all wonderful. I love this camera!

1DX Mark III - A significant leap forward!

I upgraded from my 1DX MK II. Picture quality a big step forward, better color, white balance, dynamic range and sharpness. Overall the picture quality alone is worth the upgrade. Focus is amazing. Finally illuminated buttons, but I still wish Canon had gone for more buttons with illumination. Built-in wireless - Yes! - about time! Paint finish is slightly different, slightly darker with slightly more sheen, I would have preferred the flat finish of the previous bodies - not sure what is behind the paint formula change - noticeable by those that have held 1D bodies in their hands for years. The Mark II felt more solid to be honest - I suspect because of its heft, but the durability of the new body is on par or improved based on Canon's advertised durability claims. Shutter haptics is definitely improved over the Mk II. In all, the level of significant improvements that one would expect for an upgrade to a pro body! Glad I made the switch.

This Camera is a MONSTER

Get ready to have more pictures to review as the focus locks on so fast you will have far less through aways and increased keepers. The AF button with the built in optical will be a must for all pro cameras in the future, it just that good. I found I could rest my arms and bring the camera up just before the action was coming my way and I had immediate focus. I have my EOS-1D MKIII in for a trade and have had second thoughts all week about it. After 2 days I am very happy about the upgrade. The pile of pictures transfers quickly into my computer. Be careful with the cable to the card reader it has an arrow on the end of the cable it seems that the cable only goes in with the arrow up unlike other usb devices. I already purchased the Blackjet TX-1cxq for my MAC as it has Thunderbolt.

Incredible !!!

The Mk iii is lightning fast with incredible tracking and tracking options. Whether you are taking pictures or doing video, the Mk iii will not let you down. Very nice low light capability with low noise/ high ISO. I love the dual CF Express card slots, wide range of Canon lenses, extremely fast focusing even in low light, and overall powerful menu options. Of course picture quality and color rendition is excellent. The EOS-1D Mk iii supersedes anything I own and takes its rightful place 'Top Of The Pile' of my gear !!!

Loved my 1D X Mark II but worth upgrade to Mark III

Focus selection even more precise and very sharp low light images with little noise make this a winner. Use of CFexpress card is a welcome up grade because of speed and capacity of a wide choice of card sizes. I love the new “C” cables as that will take me into the future of where connectivity is going. I will add photos later after I have worked camera through a variety of shooting conditions. I continue to be glad and biased that I am a Canon user when it comes to using superior equipment that allows me to creatively capture wonderful images.
