Canon Europe has launched the ultimate sports and wildlife camera, the EOS-1D X Mark III, offering professional photographers limitless possibilities, at blistering speeds. This was disclosed by a statement made available to OpenLife by Apo Group.
The statement stated that the Mark III boasts of
dramatically improved AF tracking performance, image quality and communication
capabilities, adding that the camera
represents the pinnacle of Canon’s EOS-1 series even as the Canon’s new flagship camera features
incredible industry-leading shooting speeds of up to 20fps with AF tracking,
along with improved high ISO performance the camera achieves ‘the shot’, every
time. The EOS-1D X Mark III’s AF sensor sports 28 times the centre resolution
of its predecessor to address professional photographers’ need for greater
accuracy and focusing on subjects in a wider range of scenarios. What’s more,
the camera offers impressive 5.5K 12-bit RAW video internal recording – the
first non-cinema Canon EOS series camera to have such feature – allowing
professionals to capture top-quality video as well as stills.
The EOS-1D X Mark III has been developed using feedback from the worldwide
community of EOS-1D X and EOS-1D X Mark II photographers, including prestigious
Canon Ambassadors. Canon’s rich heritage in optical excellence shines through
in professionals’ feedback during testing, praising the EOS-1D X Mark III’s
step-change in autofocus, dramatically improved image and video quality and
speedy communication abilities – all features which allow professionals to
achieve breath-taking images and deliver them to clients – faster than ever
before.
Eddie Keogh, professional sports
photographer and Canon Ambassador said:“Working from the
side lines at top sporting events worldwide, Canon’s DLSRs continue to dominate
professional photography. Throughout the years EOS-1 series cameras have been
unrivalled in their reliability and capability, which is why I’ve been using
them since 2002 with the EOS-1D. In my line of work speed is everything, so I’m
delighted to be using the EOS-1D X Mark III which features noticeably improved
fps, outstanding autofocus and quicker communication abilities – because, in
the competitive industry of sports photography, a matter of milliseconds could
mean the difference between a picture that makes it to the back pages of
national newspapers or doesn’t.”
