Cue the head spinning, The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III to be 20.1mp? [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
and live view shooting rumours can be for new 24mpix sensor
I am planning on a 1dx III upgrade, but I think I will probably complement with an R II or high MP if they deliver a 5dV equivalent camera like they did with the 90d / m6 II. I will probably hold off on RF lenses and adapt my EF lenses until the point I move away from wildlife. I am 67 and that 36lbs of camera gear + tripod gets heavier every trip. I figure when I hit 70 it will be time to give up the 1dx III. I would probably pass on the 1dx III if it wasn't for 2 more trips to Africa, 1 trip to Antarctica, 4 trips to the National Parks, etc, etc by the end of 2022.

20 megapixels are okay for me unless Canon finds a way to reduce pixel level noise. I wish be will someday have a camera with two sensors that you can somehow switch. One with no more than 12 megapixels for low light and video and one with 40 or more megapixels for sharp photos in good lighting.

I don't know why people are still pushing the old line 'lower res = better high ISO'. Very little progress has been made by any manufacturer on high ISO *raw* noise levels for years, nor is much more improvement physically possible (as knowledgable people keep saying, but seemingly ignored).

I am sure Canon had multiple versions of the new D3 at the recent Rugby world cup.
they have enough data to decide what version to release, and ramp up production.
personally i wish Canon would release two sensor versions, like panasonic have done with the S1,S1R,S1H

Canon would be mercilessly bashed if they did not use a 24.x mp sensor and that is PR they would be silly to accept today as there are actually real photographers now moving to Sony. But who knows.

I've been a fanatic Canon user for a long time! I am using a 1DXMK2 now.
If the Canon sensor doesn't make a difference, I will definitely move to another brand (Leica SL2)
I hope that canon does not disappoint us.

This makes great sense - and their soliciting feedback from the Users on the resulting images and the speed of how each iteration is performing - in a real-world usage.

I agree....24 would seem to be the standard at this point....Although Canon has been disappointing people for a few years now so I wouldn't put it past them to do this. Ugh.

I was in a similar boat...especially for wildlife....if you think about how many pixels you put on a bird/animal vs the 7Dii. 28MP vs 20.2 is a nearly 40% advantage which eliminates a large portion of the 7Dii's advantage of having the crop factor.

What do you carry for gear? I hope the rest of your trips go well...I'm betting the last few minutes of your final trip will feel quite poignant after however many decades you spent out there photographing wildlife.

Hi, as for weight, there must be ways to reduce the weight of the gear withouht compremise on the camera. For example, a vest that you can attach the gera to and such that wil not only reduce the wieght, but also makes it better to carry. I hope there are ways to resolve this,

I would have to agree with your assessment. Especially when one considers the 32mp brand-new sensor in the 10 frames/sec 90D.

What if Canon does something with the 1DX line that they did with the 5DS and 5DSr several years ago. Introduce 2 different DX III models, one with the old 20.2 (or refreshed 20.2) mp sensor to maintain file sizes for a certain pro-segment and a 24.2, or even 26mp, brand new sensor for all other pro (and other) segments?
Wouldn't that shock everyone?
1 DXs III or 1 DX IIIs?

Could it be possible Canon is testing various resolutions in the field to see which provides the best low light performance?
Ultimately i think the cameras low light performance and IQ is more important than mega pix count for the 1dx iii.

With my very limited knowledge, as I understand it, the only way to reduce noise is with pixel size/architecture and processing - both on the initial capture and how the capture gets saved/read to the memory card. This is my simplified view...

The problem is more in the lenses than the body, but it all adds up. I have the 200-400 f4 L IS w/integrated 1.4x TC that is almost 8lbs + the 100-400 II for handheld shooting + 24-70 f2.8 L II for low light and landscapes. In addition, I always carry a second body like the 5dIV for landscapes, etc. I use a vest in Africa for convenience, but it doesn't really cut down on my overall gear weight plus all the other stuff required. I am looking at alternatives to the 200-400, but I love the versatility and high image quality of the lens for what I shoot. I know most people would say leave the 100-400 II at home (which I occasionally substitute 70-200 f4 L IS II), but I like it on a second body for handheld shooting and carrying when away from a vehicle. The alternatives for the 200-400 would include the EF 500 II, EF 400 DO II, etc.
