TNC Exclusive – We are the first website to published detailed specification comparison review between the two camera.
Let’s have a specification comparison between the two flagship camera. The long rumored Canon 1DX Mark III camera finally arrived just before 2020 Olympic. Canon Took more than 4 years of time to create a brand new flagship camera and not only that consumers have to spend more than $6000+ to get the new body. In general Canon flagship camera arrives with lot of modifications from inside-out. Now, in this comparison we have compared each and every core specification of the camera to find out the best one.
1. Does Canon 1DX Mark III have new sensor ?
The short answer in no. They are using the same old 20MP CMOS technology they have used in the Canon 1DX Mark II camera. The sensor is redesigned to have better AF performance. So, you will be getting almost same image quality from both the camera.
2. Does Canon 1DX Mark III Have Better Image Quality than Canon 1DX Mark II ?
Slightly better (Upto 1 stop). We are getting slightly better image quality in the new Canon 1DX Mark III camera due to the introduction new Dual-Digic 6 image processor inside the camera we are getting 1 stop more ISO range in extended mode compared to the Canon 1DX Mark II camera. Not only that Canon 1DX Mark III also features new image decoding algorithm and with the help of the that we may notice some betterment in the DR, performance of the camera.

Having a 20MP sensor isn’t a bad thing for sports shooter, but not updating it even after 5 years of gap is bad. We do know that Sony is using BSI and Stacked CMOS sensor in their flasghip A7 and A9 cameras. But, in Canon we are still sicked to plain CMOS Tech that’s really embarrassing in 2020. ISO range of the camera extended upto 1 stop in MAX range thanks to the new image processor and image decoding algorithms.

4. Best Canon Video DSLR 2020 ?
Undoubtedly Canon 1DX Mark III is the best Canon DSLR camera of 2020. The Canon 1DX Mark III camera does full sensor readout and uncroopped 4K Video recording with DPAF support upto 24 and 30 FPS. The camera is also able to record 5.4K Video, which is really a amazing thing for a DSLR camera. But, unfortunately we do have some limitations like now DPAF in RAW video mode as well as no DPAF in 4K Video mode at 60p/50p. See the list of DPAF limitations here

10. Canon 1DX Mark III vs Canon 1DX Mark II Verdict
Canon does updated the camera, but in a limited way. If you are a sports shooter and if you think the new AF system will help you than you can sure invest $6000+ in the camera body. If you are someone who already own Canon 1DX Mark II camera and thinking for and upgrade, I will recommend you should wait, Canon EOS R professional on its way and it will sure surprise us with its core specification.
We are getting lot of questions related to the video mode of Canon 1DX Mark III camera. So, here is your answer
Does Canon 1DX Mark III Camera have AF in 4K Video Mode ?
Yes it do full DPAF support when you are shooting 4K Videos at 24fps and 30fps mode. But, when you are shooting videos in 4K 60p/50p you won’t get DPAF then. Similarly, when you are recording Videos on RAW mode you don’t have DPAF.
Canon 1DX Mark III Video AF Details
RAW 5.4K (59.94p / 50.00p) 2,600 Mbps – No DPAF
RAW (29.97p / 25.00p / 24.00p / 23.98p) – 1800 Mbps – No DPAF

We have spotted a patent were you can clearly see Canon working on a hybrid Mount Video aka Cinema Camera. Let’s go step by step to understand how the Canon Hybrid Mount Camera works
1. Canon Hybrid Mount Camera is Reality and Not-Just a Rumor
Yes, We have discovered patent that clearly shows Canon is working on Hybrid Mount camera. But, as per the patents Canon is initially working on Cinema camera with Hybrid Mount. In near future they may also implement the same technology to Canon Mirrorless Cameras or DSLRs.
2. How Canon Hybrid Mount Camera Work ?
Once use attaches the lens camera power – ON the camera, the Mount detection unit gets activated.
Once the camera detects the type of Lens used in the camera, it opens up it’s dedicated user-interface options for particular lens mount.
From the flow-chart below you can understand the mode of operation of a Hybrid Mount camera once the lens is attached to it.
So, finally we have the Hybrid camera patents. And in general once a patent get registered it roughly take two or three years to become a reality. So, if everything goes well we may see a hybrid mount camera sometime in 2022 or may be 2023.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.
Finally, we have the full specification of the Canon 1DX Mark III camera. Take a look at the official high-resolution images of the Canon 1DX Mark III camera. The camera do have a option to record 4K video at 60p, plus the options of capturing RAW video or 10-bit 4:2:2 video with Canon Log, both recorded internally to CFexpress cards. The new Sensor have 525 AF Zones and completely new AF algorithm, which is more fast and accurate than Canon 1DX II camera.
EOS-1DX Mark III – The next level in pro DSLR quality and performance
A new era in autofocus speed and accuracy
The EOS-1D X Mark III will feature a brand-new AF sensor with 28x more resolution than its predecessor, using advanced AF algorithms with deep learning technology for incredible focus tracking in any situation. And in Live View and video there will be the added advantage of Dual Pixel CMOS AF across approximately 90×100 percent of the sensor with 525 AF areas. With AF over a wider EV range focusing with an EOS DSLR truly will never have been more accurate and versatile.
Outstanding stills and video
With a new Canon CMOS sensor and powerful new DIGIC processing, image quality even at high ISO will be taken to even greater levels along with 4K video at 60p, plus the options of capturing RAW video or 10-bit 4:2:2 video with Canon Log, both recorded internally to CFexpress cards. A new bright viewfinder will help connect you to your subject in real time.
High speed camera communications
Delivering captured content quickly is the vital next step for a professional. This is why the EOS-1D X Mark III will feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low Energy connectivity and GPS capability for seamless communication. With double the transfer speeds of the EOS-1D X Mark II, via the built-in Ethernet port or through the optional WFT-E9, and with a revised user interface for simpler and more intuitive operation, the new EOS-1D X Mark III will be designed to get the job done faster than any EOS ever before.
Always ready to perform, whatever the situation
The EOS-1D X Mark III will be radically upgraded for superb performance. Not only will it offer a blistering frame rate with the optical viewfinder including AE and focus tracking, but also dramatic improvements in Live View mode with the same level of accuracy, plus the ability to shoot using an electronic shutter. The camera will be engineered to excel in all areas, with dramatically improved battery life using the LP-E19 battery, new illuminating buttons and an all-new AF point selection control within the AF-ON button in addition to the multi-controller. All in a magnesium alloy weather-sealed body.

We will update you soon as we get any new information.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, Canon G1X Mark IV camera is coming with Blazing fast AF (comparatively better than G1X Mk III) and an option to record 4K videos. The camera is rumored to feature the latest 24MP DPAF sensor and expected to arrive in Q1/Q2 of 2020. It looks like Canon do have several prototypes of the Canon G1X Mark IV camera.
Update: Most of the Canon camera announcements delayed due to production line issues of 2020. We are now expecting the arrival of Canon G1X Mark IV sometime in 2021. We will post an update soon as we get the latest information about the G1X Mark IV camera.
