>> Canon Announces Development Of

EOS-1D X Mark III And Two Lenses

Less than two months after Nikon announced the news that it was

developing the Nikon D6, which will become the new pro flagship DSLR

for that company, Canon announced that it's developing an update to its

flagship pro DSLR: The new model will be the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III

DSLR, which will be the successor to the EOS-1D X Mark II, introduced in

early 2016.

Because this is a development announcement, Canon couldn’t provide all

the specifics, such as availability and price, but it did give some details:

• The new flagship will have superior performance to the previous
  version, shooting up to 16 frames per second (with AF/AE tracking)
  and a RAW max buffer that will be five times faster than the 1D X
  Mark II.


• AF algorithms will improve using artificial intelligence-like technologies

and have a wider dynamic range than its predecessor.

• It will support an all-new, Canon-developed, CMOS sensor and DIGIC
  processor that will deliver greater image quality, at even higher ISOs, with
  the ability to capture stills in 10-bit using the HEIF (High Efficiency Image
  File) file format.


• It will shoot 4K videos, including 4K60p with 10-bit 4:2:2 Canon Log
  internal recording.


• It will include built-in WiFi and Bluetooth low-energy connectivity in
  addition to GPS technology.


• It will have a magnesium alloy body, illuminated buttons, weather-sealing
  throughout the body and dramatically improved battery life.
  Canon also said it was developing a higher class of EOS R full-frame
  mirrorless cameras.
