CANON EOS-1D X Mark III

The new Canon EOS-1D X Mark III has a lot to live up to – while the world of professional sports photography is still dominated by DSLRs (with 70% of pros at last year’s Rugby World Cup using Canon DSLRs), mirrorless cameras, like the Sony A9 II, have become strong and viable photographic tools.

Thankfully, Canon’s new flagship camera has delivered a true hybrid DSLR/mirrorless camera that packs leading-edge technology. There’s a new image format and memory standard to a truly innovative new control input that will almost certainly become the new norm for cameras that shoot action. Not only is the 1D X Mark III set to steal the best pro camera crown, it’s also attempting to become the best DSLR for the foreseeable future.

While the EOS-1D X Mark III is brimming with the latest technology, it’s built around one fundamental piece of throwback hardware: an optical viewfinder. Mirrorless may indeed be the future of photography, but right now a lag-free electronic viewfinder (EVF) only exists in the foreseeable future.
