I also think so. I think it will do 8k h265 10bit <=30 fps, hopefully 4k DCI/UHD 10 bit super sampled up to 30 fps (maybe up to 60fps) , 4k 120 fps probably will be 1-1 crop.... and already would be a super video machine. Hopefully there will be some crops mode to lover the rolling shutter. Editing 8k 10bit h265 natively will be really hard. Hopefully as the format become more popular more optimization and gpu support will be available.

5.5k raw at 60 fps is quite close to 8k 30 fps in data so it would be in theory doable. Not sure they will do it

Yes it will be aggressively high. If production is limited they will try to capitalize on early adopters. I would guess around 3900 usd

Did a super quick test and is quite visible at 4k 25fps FF and quite good at 4k 50fps FF. So I would guess ~30ms at 25/30 fps FF and ~15 at 50/60 fps FF

As for my type of work (mostly sport and action) none of the mentioned camera comes in my consideration due to lack or not great AF. The Z6 would be the only one but the lack of 4k 60p and having tons of Canon lenses makes the Z6 not attractive to me neither.

Got the 1Dx III yesterday and I did play around a bit here some first observations: The good: Camera is really fast in everything, scrolling to images, menu etc.. is faster than the 1Dx II 20 fps silent shooting is really good and there is no slideshow effect is more like looking at video at 20fps. Normal OVF seems to be improved and with the people/face priority seems to do a good job, test with 50mm at 1.2 in af-servo with my kid and was quite impressive. In LV with eye tracking is almost perfect. The new AF touch joystick seem useful, need to get used a bit more but is already working out well for me. FF 5.5k and 4k the image quality is really good. 4k crop it is similar to the 1Dx II but with the benefit of 10bit and log. 120fps FHD seems the same as the 1Dx II but would need to test more (also here benefits is 10bit log and also EIS works at 120fps too) Video AF is a big improvements over the 1Dx II, face / eye tracking works really well. Also tracking objects seems better than the 1Dx II. For manual AF peeking and the arrows are quite useful. EIS work surprisingly well at least from my first test especially up to 50mm, above is not that effective (at 200mm is not that great) but this is known. With a 24 1.4 seems gopro 7 style stabilization that is quite cool but need to test it out more. All files types are now natively supported in Resolve so CRM, 10bit h265 and 8bit h264. The not so good: You can record RAW on one card and 4k proxy on another but you cannot record a 4k on both card at the same time. I knew it before but just doublechecked. The video format menu is a mess, would be cool to be able to disable modes that I never use like all the HD ones and the IPB ones. With the USB-C cable you can mount the camera as storage but strangely enough you can copy any file but not the CRM, you need to open the canon tool to copy. Of course with the card reader it works for all files. Still no histogram while recording video, also no zoom in while recording. On my machine with Resolve (Nvidia 1070) the h265 10 bit files are not HW decoded so they are very slow much slower that the RAW. H264 are fine. Apparently 1070 can only do h265 4:2:0 10bit HW decoding. 2070 can do also 4:4:4 but could not find if it can do 4:2:2. As the LV AF is so good they could have offered an EVF as addon a la M6 so you can have both OVF and EVF. Tomorrow I will have my first ice hockey match with it so I can test the AF for photo, I will try a bit with OVF and a bit in LV, maybe if I have time I will try to record some video too.

Not identical as I tried 16.1 and did not display any image at all and 16.1.6 the camera tab was causing all sort of issues. But probably minor changes only. This was one of my biggest concern, happy that is already solved.

Got it, actually it was delivered at home today but I’m away so no tests until Monday😭😢

Very good news Davinci Resolve 16.2 fully support the 1Dx III RAW format, all settings in the Camera RAW are available. So workflow for me it will be super easy, no time in transcoding through other programs etc.. Really impressed by how quick Blackmagic implemented it! Btw I have the studio (paid) version of Resolve so not sure it works on the free but also the free is limited to 4k timeline too so I think the one time 300$ are well invested.

Davinci Resolve 16.2 apparently now supports 1Dx III Tomorrow I will give it a try

Mine is shipped hopefully tomorrow is here....

So I did download a 1Dx III RAW file and Resolve can open it and you can edit. The camera raw tab does not work yet so you cannot set the Log, WB etc... but there is hope as you can use the other tools to color grade. Keeping the default and applying some correction: Customizing the camera raw tab:

Looks good hopefully the workflow will be at some point native in Resolve

So massive in sales that canon decided not to bring a new model in the last 6 years.... 3k usd cinema market in not rentable too many hybrid options... not even sure that there is a big market for dedicated video mirrorless camera like the sh1 or A7S, this is my pure personal opinion is why we did not see yet a new A7S....

Imo below c200 there is no real market, all taken by mirrorless, dslr etc. No big cinema camera manufacturer is currently investing in that price segment tell you something.

Imo will be the C300 III as there is a big gap between c200 and C500 II and the C300 II is now quite old ….. so it can be one of this: - same sensor as the C500 II but max out at 4k (maybe without RAW but still think that RAW will be in all Canon Cinema cameras) at 11k usd to compete with the FX9 or - s35 4k 10bit and RAW <10k usd

For photo is an amazing lens, I did try it out. for 1h and I found it impressive. For video the problem is the weight and the extending while zooming that could be an issue on gimbals.

I would buy a EF 24 1.4 II or 35 1.4 II used and use with the ND RF-EF adapter

I’m talking about the sharpness and is very visible in the posted video. 8 or 10bit would not matter.

I also did notice that is not super stable but it is hard to compare if not using the same focal length,k the same way to carry the camera and also very important the same light situation. Also he does not use the enhanced because he says nothing changes but at least with the M6 II the difference between the two mode is big. The 5.5 and 4k seem very detailed and looks good. On the 120fps I'm not so sure is an improvement over the MkII….. if you compare the same pier scene the normal 1080 with the 1080 120fps there is a very visible drop in quality. Not unexpected but I do not agree to his comment that the 120fps is great. Still probably one of the best FF 120fps but for sure not great.

4k 60fps..... instead of 24fps....

😁

On YouTube there a re few but no out of camera clog or raw to download yet

Seems, at least for photo, at low ISO DR has improved quite a bit compared to Mk II, basically on pair with the A7R IV (1/3 stop worse at ISO 100, 1/3 stop better at ISO 200) http://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#Canon EOS 1D X Mark II,Canon EOS 1D X Mark III,Sony ILCE-7RM4
