The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III has a lot to live up to – and a real fight on its hands to defend its throne. While the world of sports photography is still dominated by DSLRs (with 70% of pros at last year’s Rugby World Cup using Canon DSLRs), mirrorless cameras have now come so far that Sony’s latest effort, the Sony A9 II, is a far superior photographic tool to the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.
So Canon had to pull something special out of the bag with its new flagship DSLR. This hybrid DSLR/ mirrorless camera ushers in a number of industry-standard features and technologies, from a new image format and a new memory standard to an innovative control input that will almost certainly become the norm for cameras that shoot action.
