Yes, In my opinion Canon is clearly talking about introduction time of Canon flagship DSLR camera Canon 1dx Mark III. When interviewer from DPreview asked “Olympics in 2020 is coming up – what will we see” . Then Canon clearly hinted us that we will going to announce a Pro Model at that time.
Yep – they are taking about 1DX Mark III.
1. Canon 1dx Mark III Announcement Time hint
Q. The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 is coming up – when we look at photographers shooting with Canon at Tokyo in two years time, what will we see?
A. The Tokyo Olympics is a very important opportunity for us. If we look at the professional camera market, we would like to introduce a professional model at that time. Having said that, we take reliability very seriously. So when we talk about [creating] a model for the Olympics, we’re not just talking about performance. We’re also want to make sure that we can achieve the same level of reliability that we’ve always delivered [in our professional DSLRs].
Now, we have clear hint that canon will going to announce the 1dx mark III camera before 2020 Olympics. Or may be they are talking about introduction of a completely new Pro body DSLR body ? .. Keep in mind that every Canon DSLRs are announced under a series (either entry level, mid or high-end), And if Canon is talking about a Pro DSLR that clearly means they are talking about the 1DX Series for sure.
2. Canon 1DX Mark III in Q1 of 2020
Now let’s talk about the timeframe when 1dx Mark 3 camera will going to be announced ? The 2020 Olympics will going to start from, Friday 24 July 2020 and will going to end on 9 August 2020.
3. Life-cycle of Canon FF Flagship DSLR camera Camera
In general Canon keep 4 to 5 years of Gap to announce a Pro Flagship body, but due to intense market completion we may see Pro DSLR before scheduled announcement date.

4. Announcement Time vs Shipping Time
Canon 1DX Mark II was announced in Feb 2016 and the shipping of the camera was started from April 2016.
Now, you have to understand that there is a difference between the announcement of a product and the shipping of a product. If any manufacturer announces a camera today then in general it shipping will going to start from after 2 or 3 months of time.
5. End of 2019 or Beginning of 2020
So, clearly means Canon 1dx Mark III is somehow scheduled to arrive at the end of 2019 or maybe in the beginning / Q1 of 2020. So photographers can get hands-on camera before 2020 Olympics.
Thanks Canon for letting us know that yes you are working restlessly to bring up new flagship camera for us before the 2020 Olympics.
Do share your thoughts and suggestion with us.

Canon working on a new type of heat dispense / Sink unit, you can see the structure of Canon hand grip that appears on the patent document shows as a dedicated heat sink unit inside. That will manage the heat produced by the camera body itself to avoid the over heating condition.
The new type of Heat sink system can be used in upcoming Canon 1DX Mark III or Canon 5D Mark V camera. Also see Canon Advance Display patent
Patent document is completely new and published on 2017 June
With the ever changing demand in the photography industry. It is required to develop more secure heat sink system, earlier heat sink system was developed with the context of still shooting in the DSLR. But nowadays DSLR being used as multipurpose cameras, they also record 4K videos and at the same time with the help of dual pixel CMOS autofocusing system they keep track of subject all the time, so for all this activity requires very heavy amount of processing inside the camera and in-turn there’s a lot of heat generated by the image Digic processors, that should be managed by the camera system inside
More details after the break

Canon patent a new viewfinder for professional DSLRs that features magnification ratio of 0.82X. Let me know you that the 5D Mark IV viewfinder features magnification ratio of 0.71X and the Canon 1DX Mark II features magnification ratio of 0.76X.
As we all know that viewfinder is the most important user interface of the DSLR camera. Now let’s know what is magnification ratio in DSLR camera ?. It generally refers to how big the viewfinder image appears, for example a theoretically perfect viewfinder will have 1X magnification ratio.
1X is the size of things appear when you look them with your eye. Now if your Camera, say Canon 1DX Mark II have 0.76X magnification ratio makes things appear to be approx three-quarters the size they look to be with your naked eye. And to be clear 0.82X is better than 0.76X.
Here is the patent details
Patent Publication No. 2016-191760
Published 2016.11.10
Filing date 2015.3.31
Example 5

Focal length 61.30 58.73 64.32

Magnification 0.82 0.85 0.78
Believe me or not this tech will sure coming in future camera’s of Canon for sure. The viewfinder may be used for upcoming Canon 1DX Mark III or may be Canon 5DS Mark III.

The patent hunting website egami speculates – ” Canon has an eye to the 8K era ….. the 70-200mm F2.8 lens is capable to resolve Super High-resolution videos 8000 × 4000 pixel size 1μm”. We all know that 8K video resolution is 7,680×4,320, which is less than 8000 × 4000, take a look at the patent details below

However, Super Hi-Vision (the number of pixels 8000 × 4000, pixel size 1μm before and after) for the future sought image quality, such as, is not sufficient in the imaging performance of conventional zoom lens. Therefore, further improvement of performance (in particular, reduction of the chromatic aberration amount) is required.
