After some pretty significant leaks over the past month or two, Canon has official unveiled the much-anticipated EOS R5 and EOS R6: two full-frame cameras that will form the backbone of the company's mirrorless lineup moving forward, though neither "officially" replaces the original EOS R.
On Monday, we reported on the controversially low score that DXOMark gave to the Canon 1D X Mark III. The brand new camera somehow scored worse in every category than its predecessor, the Mark II. Now we know why.
DXOMark has published its review of the sensor inside Canon flagship 1D X Mark III DSLR, giving it a surprisingly low score of just 83. That score has photographers questioning if DXO somehow messed up its testing of this brand new, and much-praised, DSLR.
I'm not one to generally heap praise on camera products that one, I haven't tested or two, haven't even been fully announced yet let alone released. But given what we know about Canon's upcoming EOS R5, I have to change precedents, sit back and just clap.
Canon has released a firmware fix to the dreaded "lock up" issue that has plagued some 1D X Mark III users, making the camera unusable for high-speed shooting. Firmware version 1.1.0, released earlier today, fixes the problem and adds a few additional features at the same time.
A couple of weeks ago, a number of Canon 1D X Mark III users began reporting that their cameras were locking up mid-burst, making them unusable for any sort of high-speed photography. Canon has now confirmed the issue, has found a workaround, and is preparing a firmware fix.
As many of you know, I have been lucky enough to have a Canon EOS 1D X Mark III in my possession for more than a month now. People have been asking me to review this new top-of-the-line camera, but I really wanted to put it through its paces in order to do a fair review.
Several Canon users are reporting a serious issue with their new 1D X Mark III cameras. According to reports, and demonstrated in the video above, some 1D X III DSLRs are locking up completely after a few shots, preventing the user from continuing to shoot for several seconds before coming back to life.
Last night we got our first official glance at Canon's vision for their future in the R5 development announcement, and it looks to finally be an example of full-frame mirrorless taken seriously. In a morning discussion here at PetaPixel, the question was raised: why did Canon just now decide to wake up?
If you're a sports photographer at any level in the United States, the dream gig would be to shoot a national championship: the World Series, the MLS cup, the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup, or perhaps the most coveted of all, the Super Bowl. For Getty Images Chief Sports Photographer Rob Carr, that dream is a reality.
Fancy Live View and Video features aside, the Canon 1D X Mark III is primarily a camera for sports photographers. So who better to review it than Peter Read Miller, a seasoned pro with decades of experience taking pictures for Sports Illustrated, AP Images, and the NFL?
It’s a brilliant start to the year for Canon with the full announcement of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III. Updating their flagship DSLR in time for the Olympics, it’s an announcement eagerly awaited by photographers across different genres who are looking for the best camera on the market.
Last month, as a Canon Ambassador, I had the opportunity to try out the new DSLR flagship camera, the Canon 1D X Mark III, for 2 days. This is neither a technical review nor a test report. The video above will show you how I worked with the new camera.
Canon is going all-in on mirrorless. The company has revealed that it has no plans to create any new EF lenses for DSLRs... unless photographers demand more.
Canon today announced the new 1D X Mark III, the company's new flagship DSLR and successor to the 1D X Mark II that was announced back in early 2016.
After Canon shared the development information on the impending 1D X Mark III last year, we called out that its specs not only blow away any previous notions of what a camera with physical moving parts could do but also noted that it's got all the makings of a great mirrorless camera... with a mirror.
Less than a day after an incorrect set of "leaked" Canon 1D X Mark III specs made the rounds online (they were actually 1D X Mark II specs...) it looks like the real deal has been posted. Nokishita got their hands on a full set of leaked product photos and specs, revealing a few interesting things about the upcoming Canon flagship.
A low-res leaked photo published by Canon Rumors today purports to show a Canon 1D X Mark III... but it doesn't look like any 1D camera we've seen in recent years. The color scheme looks more like a film SLR from years past.
A report by Digital Camera World earlier this week initially claimed that Canon was ditching JPEGs, replacing them with 10-bit HEIF files in the upcoming Canon 1D X Mark III, and possibly beyond. And while Canon eventually clarified that they are not getting rid of JEPG, the format may be (ought to be?) on its last legs.
Canon has announced the development of the EOS 1D X Mark III, the successor to the 1D X Mark II and a flagship DSLR that has more power, more speed, and more durability.
We all expect Canon to announce its EOS 1D X Mark III before the Tokyo olympics, but the rumor miss has been surprisingly quiet on what exactly Canon is planning to do with their next flagship DSLR... until now.
We've known for several months now that Canon was working on IBIS for its full-frame mirrorless EOS-R system, but a recent patent and a new rumor indicates that this tech might make its way into Canon's DSLRs as well... and soon.
Fujifilm made a splash in the camera industry today by unveiling the GFX100, the world's first 102-megapixel mirrorless camera. And here's what's crazy: Fujifilm managed to stuff a medium format sensor into a camera body that's the same size as Canon's and Nikon's flagship DSLRs.
The groundbreaking new Sony a9 is one heck of a sports camera, and it's cheaper than both the Canon 1DX Mark II and the Nikon D5. That must mean it's financially smart to switch, right? Not so fast...
This morning we woke up to an interesting bit of data from Canon Professional Services in our inbox. A week after sharing some crazy photos of their Rio stockpile with us, Canon is sharing the top 10 pieces of gear they're loaning out to sports photographers at the Olympics. Can you guess what they are?
This photograph shows the camera equipment that Getty Images photographers will be using Brazil for the upcoming Rio Olympic Games. That's a lot of high-end Canon DSLR gear.
It seems Canon has got a real winner on their hands with the impressive (and expensive) Canon 1D X Mark II. In fact, it's now the highest rated Canon sensor DxOMark has ever tested! Move over 5DS...
Canon called the EOS-1D X Mark II a "remarkable combination of innovation and refinement" when they announced it back in February, but they should have just posted this video instead. Sure, that violates the space-time continuum, but I'm sticking by it.
Sigma has received glowing marks for its Art series of lenses, but the fact that it's a 3rd party lens maker still has its shortcomings. Case in point: Sigma has found that a few of its lenses don't play nicely with the new Canon 1D X Mark II.
The arrival of Canon's new flagship is hardly a surprise: the early leaking of the 1D X Mark II specifications and images online must surely have rankled at Canon. But the important thing is that the 1D X Mark II is finally here!
Canon today announced the 1D X Mark II, its latest flagship DSLR. Canon calls the camera a "remarkable combination of innovation and refinement" that combines both power and speed.
Official product photos of the soon-to-be-announced Canon 1D X Mark II have leaked onto the Web, giving us a glimpse of what Canon has up its sleeve for the next iteration of its flagship DSLR.
In this article, I'm going to share a simple comparison between photos taken with the Canon 1D X, Nikon D810, and Pentax 645z. First things first, this is not a scientific or carefully done test. Don’t read too much into it!
We've seen one video demonstration of the Canon 7D Mark II's impressive AutoFocus system, and we've heard the amazing specs, but it's a picture of a dragonfly that really drove home the point, for us, of how good this system is at locking focus on a moving subject.
Here's an interesting rumor from the Canon camp. You know that 'modular' phone Google is working on that will let you swap out pieces of it -- say, the camera, or the processor -- by removing and attaching different pieces? Well, fresh rumors suggest Canon is thinking of doing something similar with a forthcoming DSLR.
While diving for a catch at the back of end zone during today's game against Kansas State, Oklahoma wide receiver Sterling Shepard landed on something not-so-soft, but oh-so-very-expensive on the sideline: what looks to be a Canon 1DX attached to either a 400mm f/2.8L or a 500mm f/4L.
Shepard, we're happy to report, is okay. The lens... she's gone.
'See Impossible' debacle and subsequent parody aside, recent rumors indicate Canon really is getting ready to innovate, or at the very least take some risks and release some interesting products.
The most recent rumblings from the rumor mill today indicate that not one, but two cameras with multi-layer sensors will arrive in 2015, and a high megapixel camera is definitely in the pipeline.
Talk of Canon dropping a bomb on the megapixel war with a high-MP DSLR is nothing new, but several rumor sites are now reporting on the possibility of a 46MP pro Canon DSLR next month at PhotoPlus in New York City. Take THAT Nikon and your measly 36 megapixels.
Want to see that ultra-rare Canon 1200mm f/5.6 L USM lens we told you about a couple of weeks ago in action? Well, you're in luck, because the folks over at MPB Photographic have delivered on their promise to create some content with it by putting this monster through its paces in London.
It seems the major rumor sites were duped about the upcoming Canon 7D replacement. According to a new Canon Rumors report published last night, previously reported specs for the Mark II were incorrect. Fortunately, it seems they've gotten their hands on some new specs that they're "90% confident" are accurate this time around.
