Cue the head spinning, The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III to be 20.1mp? [CR1]

Feel free to make it CR0...

A rumor has to be plausible somehow (especially from an anonymous source)!

It is quite possible that both of these "sources" are correct. I wouldn't be shocked if there are a few different 1DxIII's prototypes out there sporting different sensors.

The big question remains though.

As a betting man, I would look at 24.x sensor. There is a resolution war going on between Canon and Sony.

Yes this is possible.

I'd call BS on that one, if the person is in the know I'd say it is a prototype with the old sensor in the new body.

Probably not true, but if it is, it better have amazing high ISO performance (which would be fine), but getting a few more FPS would not make it worth the upgrade.

It's only 100% that the prototype seen by this source is 20.1 mpx, which 99% confirms that Canon is testing with different sensors in the field.

Im not so sure. 61 AF points on 1DX, 1DX2 and supposedly 1DX3 as well. They also might stick to the same MP, in return for better ISO performance and speed? But I'm also quite sure a minor bump will happen. 22MP. But no more.

Can't reveal the source, but his initials are H.F. and he lives in Canada and just bought a helicopter.

Beany-Copter. It's a Beany -Copter

It needs to be about 25 MP to be able to do DCI 4k with a 6k-4k down conversion and now that they have the processor to do that, it is hard to believe that they won't put it in the 1 series camera. The feature requires a crop in the 90D, but the video quality is very good in that mode (not DCI, of course).

You're going to need to cut off sources that give you bogus information, this one is 100% sure? Eventually we will know, BUT if they are wrong I'd suggest deleting them from your contacts as they clearly make crap up.

You have to remember that Tokyo Olympics 2020 will be the place to announce 8K. It’s quite interesting if 1D doesn’t have possibility to record 8K. It might be two separate models, 4K and 8K.

PureClassA · Nov 7, 2019

Yeah Im going with “he’s 100% sure he saw a test rig”. Cant imagine coming back with the same sensor size. it’ll be 24

NorskHest · Nov 7, 2019

Yyyyyeeeesssssss I want it to stay at 20 with better dynamic rage and this makes me happy.

djack41 · Nov 7, 2019

Either is fine. Just hope Canon can improve the AF.

tron · Nov 7, 2019

Maybe someone had painted a "I" to the right of "II" to make it look like "III"

That would get my vote too. In the meantime, perhaps the confusion with different MP sensors in different prototypes helps Canon trace the source of leaks...?

slclick · Nov 7, 2019

Maybe the prototype was missing an X, I guess that would have been 10mp though, lol.

tron · Nov 7, 2019

Maybe the less smart (or trustworthy?) tester got a 1DxII body after all
