I doubt it. At least Harry knows how to use the "Reply" button so that we have a clue as to what comment his semi-rational diatribe is answering.

Harry Film is that you?
I've done four for 2019 so far and for 2020 will do many more because of Tokyo. I could do more if I wanted to but got hit by an athlete and lost two months work in July and Aug. Teams, Magazines, Agencies, Athletes, Sponsors all still pay for quality work and pay well.Honestly, how many events per year still have multiple major agencies there with multiple shooters and trucks/runners? Things aren't what they once were in that market.
Awesome. I have seen your compatriots work at big time golf tournaments. They never stop moving as the group they are following play the hole. It's a tough job walking over whatever the terrain is and keeping up taking photos. One day in Tucson the weather was atrocious with the temps in the low 40's and freezing rain. But there they were firing away with Canon 1d's.I've done four for 2019 so far and for 2020 will do many more because of Tokyo.

Except Canon are the camera manufacturing leaders by a long way, so surely it is the others that need to set themselves apart and stop playing second fiddle.Canon needs a 30mp sensor minimum to really set it apart from the crowd.
It also must perform at the top tier in all aspects as well.
No more playing second fiddle. Yes, they are good and dependable. But they currently seem to be falling into the F-1 syndrome, good well built but not superior in all aspects to knock the competition out as the EOS system with the EF mount did 30+ years ago.

As leaders they do not need to set themselves apart, they arrived at the position they did because of their conservative approach and constant behind the scenes research and development while maintaining a very keen eye on controlling costs.
That’s the big lie behind Canon generational upgrades when you look mainly at spec sheets. When you actually use the cameras those small spec sheet differences add up to a noticeably 'better’ package. Take a look at the 6D and 6D MkII owners vs reviewers, I didn’t see a positive review of the MkII until we started getting MkI owner reviews, turns out DR isn't everything even back then when it lacked current sensors, every 5 series camera cycle has been criticized in early reviews as being too little too late. Same with the 1DX I to II, yet owners love their upgrades in the long run almost without exception.If this rumour is true (and I kind of think that it isn't), then there's not a lot of difference between a mkI / mkII or a mkIII. Sure a few Mp and a few fps...but that's not a whole lot of gain for what 5 years of development. It's true that there's not a lot of competition in the sports pro market, the Nikon offering seem to anger Nikon users regularly and the 1Dx is a stable platform. It seems bizarre that Canon would want to hinder the 1DxIII when it's likely to be the last 1Dx before mirrorless becomes a serious contender. Why not leave on a high like the 5DV is likely to be doing?
Sure I hear all the media types saying they they don't want a 30mp 16fps camera due to bandwidth etc etc...but that's one niche. This is what happens when Canon try to condense all pros into one unified body. That's why we had a 1D and 1Ds series before and it's why the 5D got up specced to a pro body camera.

Yes I'm semi retired and lucky I can work when I want to. I've mentored two very talented photographers and have them both working fulltime on the East and Westcoast with plans for another to be based in South Florida to also cover the Caribbean and LATAM for a lot of watersports too.Yeah, but those used to be a weekly occurrence at multiple NFL games, NCAAF games, NBA games, MLB games, etc.

We all agree that a 30MP 1DXMKIII would allow for a lot of latitude when a crop is involved and that's very often.
horsepower for 4K, 60fps, with 10 bit HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) image file it produces - yes, Canon is abandoning JPEGs!
The 1D X Mark III will also have SD and CompactFlash cards for cutting edge.
CFexpress memory ( witch it needs when handling internal Raw 4K 10 bit video and ridiculus bursts of image.
Yes, except for the quote saying the new AF system will differ from previous ones, this information and more can be found on the official Canon announcement:I don't know if it was reported yet.
This is what is reported!
