Every four years we get to see what type of flagship camera the big camera makers can create, and, right on schedule, we have Canon and its EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR. Previewed a few months back, "The Ultimate EOS," as it is dubbed by Canon, offers an impressive array of specifications and features that obviously put it at the top of the pile for professional photographers.
A Focus on Image Quality
Normally the image sensor is a key part of the groundbreaking tech in new flagship releases, so it may be surprising to see the 20.1MP spec of the 1D Mark III's full-frame CMOS sensor. This matches its predecessor in resolution. However, Canon has redesigned the chip with higher sensitivity and speed in mind, giving it native settings of ISO 100–102400 and an extended range of ISO 50–819200. An optimized low-pass filter is used as well to minimize artifacts while retaining sharpness. In addition to RAW and JPEG, a new HEIF format is available that will help deliver higher-quality images at smaller file sizes and with support for HDR metadata.
