This was bought for our son who is the photographer for Chelmsford Chieftains Ice Hockey team. He was very pleased with it and is using it at the National play offs at Alexandra Palace this weekend

The best canon camera I have ever use

Moved from the 1DX to the mk3 and WOW so much faster, more functionality and the best thing autofocus during video recording. I didn't buy it because of this but it’s a bonus. All the functions and layout are the same as my 1dx but I’m struggling to set up the autofocus especially when in servo mode and tracking, I wish I’d wrote down the settings I had on my 1dx as I’d got that about right but I can’t remember what I’d set it to. Would be nice for canon to do a video showing how to set for various subjects it would help me greatly. Other than that I think it’s the best camera I’ve had and I’ve had a few in the 1D series of cameras. I’m not a fan of EVF’s but I did look at the R3 but as all my glass is EF I stuck with the DSLR.

This is the third 1dx mark III I have used in a few months. Each of them have exhibited the same fault of the camera suddenly and unexpectedly losing communication with the battery. While the solution is taking the battery out and reinstalling it, this inevitably means losing the shot. This is an unacceptable fault and attempts to get Canon to recognise and deal with the fault have failed.

As a Professional Wildlife & Conservation photographer I need equipment robust enough to survive in the harshest of conditions. The Canon 1DX MK III allows me to operate from hot dry environments to cold below freezing conditions and be able to cope with whatever mother nature throws at me. As a R3 and R7 user I need a Pro body that can last in terms of battery life and the DX III's battery can take in excess of 2500 shots on a single charge, something that Mirrorless still cannot do... Love it and it works well alongside my other Canon kit.

I had been dithering about whether to upgrade my 1D MkIV for a while, and I’m so glad to have decided that the 1DX MkIII was the one to go for. It has really helped to catch those fleeting moments and expressions, and is a joy to use. Battery life is fantastic as well, so no need to worry about a day’s shooting.

Peilittömiin siirtyessäni totesin merkistä riippumatta heikkouksia verratuna nykyiseen markIII. Akun kesto sekä satunnaisesti tapahtuvat virtakatkot objektiivin sekä rungon välillä. Automaattitarkennus ei silloin toimi. Optisesta etsimestä tykkään enemmän sekä jatkuva tarkennus pysyy hyvin kiinni kohteessa. Kuvausnopeus on minulle riittävä (20). Myöskin hämärässä kuvatessa voi käyttää todella isoja ISOarvoja. Muotoilu sekä kestävyys on erittäin hyvä. Työkalu.

I bought this camera to complement (and to take a step up from) my Canon 5D mk iv. Since I bought it, I've used it extensively here in the UK for taking photographs of our resident wildlife and I've also taken it to Vancouver Island, Canada, Uganda and the Galapagos to photograph the wildlife there for prints, calendars and greeting cards. I'm a semi pro photographer which means all of my work is available for free, well, free in exchange for a donation to the charity I support. Being able to capture images that people will pay good money for adds a certain amount of pressure, so I need a camera that will deliver every time and boy does this beast deliver! It is great when it is coupled to my Canon ef f4 500mm L mk ii and also with the Canon ef 100-400mm L mk ii. It also works well with my wider angle Canon L lenses. In truth, it is a very heavy camera but it is so well well balanced that I am fortunate enough to be able to hand hold it with both of these lenses. Although, I must admit, I am quite tired by the end of the day. The weather sealing is amazing and it is so robust that it copes easily with travelling. The battery life is amazing and having two ultra fast cards means that that I never struggle with buffering and downloading the images is fast too. It is almost perfect for me...Image quality is fantastic and the low light performance is amazing. Even using very high iso doesn't seem to cause much of a problem.

I'm making it sound perfect aren't I, so can it be improved? well I do think that Canon should be able to provide a firmware update to bring the AF tracking in line with the R5, R6 and R3 and then it really would be the undisputed Flagship.

I realise that mirrorless is probably the way to go in the future but I am really reluctant to part with a camera that has such a proven track record of development and performance. C'mon Canon support the 1DX mk iii just one more time!

As a Seascape photographer who shoots Atlantic storms, I need a rugged, weatherproof camera that works with me, sees what I see, and has the focussing capability to cut through the flying spume and wild reflections, to capture a fleeting moment.

So when I read that the Canon 1DX MkIII had an intuitive focussing system similar to the 'R' series mirrorless systems, my interest was piqued. For the most important requirement in my approach is to constantly monitor the action through the viewfinder to conduct and compose around the wave set patterns watching for a perfect moment. My trusty old 1DS MkIII was a stunning camera (and I hold on to it to this day), yet in truth it struggled to continuously focus amongst the swirling murk of a howling winter storm. Therefore as technology moved on, so did I, and so did my 'storm shoot' approach. My 1DX MkII was a very good workhorse that served me well. But there still were those occasional, frustrating times when when I was panning with a huge rolling breaker waiting for the foaming crest to fly and just as I pressed the trigger the focus would slip and the long lens would be left scrabbling to grab onto something tangible and my moment was lost to a churning cacophony of broken white water.

Therefore with all the pomp and promotion surrounding its introduction, I had checked out the 'R' system. Yet I immediately found looking through the mirrorless viewfinder to be a juddery, visually detached 'soul-less' experience. Especially in challenging low light conditions. I need to see the 'live' action. I must be able to watch precisely what is going on and digital viewfinders struggle in respect. As for any weight saving, this is not relevant for me because my 'storm shoot' set-up includes a sturdy tripod with a gimbal head. This lets me sweep across a levelled horizon for hours on end, allows for a multitude of exposure settings and adds welcome stability to both my shots and to me when I am standing on an exposed headland being hammered by a pounding tempest. As such a few less grammes in the camera body don't make up for truly 'seeing' the action.

So I decided that if the 1DX MkIII was going to be Canon's last DSLR 'hurrah' I would dig deep into my wallet and invest in piece of history.

And I thank my lucky stars I did because it is a revelation!

The first time I took my MkIII down on a windswept tideline it felt at home. Even though it was encased in a shock absorbing rubber jacket and a rain sleeve, all its operations were easy to control and direct. I could readily manipulate the incredibly precise focussing settings and the camera came to life in my hands. It was just so quick! It seemingly picked up on just what I was looking at. Thereafter it was like my MkIII was knew exactly what I was looking for, seeing the evolving action and literally seizing my moment. And the one after that... and then the next... and the next... With a seamless, faultless, precision that was just so quick and so intuitive.

I have lived with my MkIII now for about a year and even in the wildest, murkiest gloom the focussing and low level light capabilities it has rarely let me down. I can pan across a raging break, pick out a fleeting glimpse and with a solid 'click' the action is snapped up. Deep in the heart of body the CF Express cards devour the data in a blink and ready to grab the next shot. It is a true imaging thoroughbred and a testament to Canon's long line of DSLR manufacturing excellence. If the 1DX MKIII is to be their last, then I will hold on to mine and treasure it for years to come.

Had the mkIII for a couple of months now and use it on a ef 400 L 2.8 for sports. The images are stunning and you can see the improvement. I also own the 1dx and the 1dxII.. However I was disappointed to find that unless I am shooting wide open then the FPS drops considerably . This is because I am using an older version of the 400 2.8 L . But my lens is perfect in every way. sharp as a tack at 2.8 and stunning images.. So I really had no need to upgrade it.. If I had known I can only get the mkIII framerate at f2.8 on a newer lens I would probably have bought another mkII as that doesn't suffer as much. A lot of the new functions I don't use. Touch screen is a pain when I am trying to clean rain off the screen so thats off. on a 400 I will mostly use center spot so not much use for the thumb controller . The zone and recognition is good for boxing and a lot of sports and works very well.. But not a lot of good for most field sports IMHO.. All in all it is great camera but you need the latest lens to get the most out of it which is a shame when you have perfectly good older glass.

I had always strove to have a top of the range Canon SLR and eventually realised my wish.

Perfect DSLR for sports photography or any professional photography for that matter if you need speed such as news photos. Feels like the Rolls Royce compared to anything I've used before.

the camera is fantastic far the best camera to date so fast clean and beatiful images well built the buffer is a dream yoiu can not go wrong with this camera

Bought to upgrade the Mk2 glad I did great piece of kit

Game changer in motorsports photography. After shooting motorsports for the last 10 years this camera is amazing.

I bought this a few weeks ago and have been very impressed with it so far. It is a huge step up from my 5D mk iv which is now my back up camera although it remains a brilliant camera too. It was not cheap but it is built like a tank and the AF system is awesome. I really like the toggle switch too although it did take a couple of days to get used to but now it feels quite natural. Such a good development. I have had a couple of issues with spots of my photos but hopefully I can get the sensor cleaned soon and then it will be perfect.

I was sceptical at first until I started experimenting and reading more about what the new camera can do, I bought it to replace one of my first generation 1DX's both over seven years old and having over 1.5 million actuations, it was time to replace one at least, I was so blown away by it that I bought another one, the live view is game changing allowing me to get angles that I'd normally be crawling around on the floor to achieve, down load speeds are simply fantastic, not giving me chance to make a hot drink during downloads is a minus though.

Ive still to experiment more with the AF as I can still miss some shots.

Usual bullet proof quality that I expect from Canon, having had nearly every 1D since the first Canon 1D film camera it doesn't disappoint unlike some of my colleagues who use another brand.

As a loyal Canon user, I have evolved through the 7 series to arrive at my lovely 1D X Mk3. The camera is amazing in almost every detail but be prepared to fork out another few hundred for memory cards and time to read the E manual as there is no useful paper manual included.

Bought this after several weeks of Canon range ( Mirrorless ) features analysis - replacement for Mk1 (which has given excelent service). Decided on this as no shutter lag and better noise capability

I needed an upgrade for my sports work and was undecided on a mirrorless or the 1DX mkiii. I took the plunge with the 1DX rather than the R5 or R6 and am not disappointed the 16fps is excellent as is the autofocus. Working in low light is a factor and the mkiii is excellent when combined with f2.8 glass

Its very disappointing that people are giving less stars for this amazing bit of kit because the “free” card reader that was part of the offer didn’t work.. all the effort those hard working Canon engineers put into this and your upset because of a 3rd party £49 card reader doesn’t work.. if you can afford a £6500 camera you can afford to go get a card reader or use the supplied cable (usb-c to usb-c) to transfer files!!!

The only reason you wouldn’t buy this camera is if you can’t afford it, if you can get it, or two.... it truly is a joy to use in a profession setting, its been hard at work for 6 months now and just flawless.

Image quality is outstanding and the amount of keepers are higher so its a defo an improvement.

That optical AF button is intuitive and easy to use.

Very happy with the purchase. It has to be used to understand how good it is, its made me better at my job :-)

Insanely fast shooting speed, autofocus and handling are all sublime. Everything you’d expect from the 1DX line.

Knocked down a star as registration is still pending after they told me my serial number had already been registered! So therefore no sign of the card reader either.
