Complete specifications and new images leak of the 1DX Mark III

The full specifications leak of the 1DX Mark III.

The big takeaways are

• It's a 20MP full frame camera with 191 AF points, 151 fully cross type. 
• Liveview AF is down to -6EV while PDAF for those using the optical viewfinder is down to -4EV.
• A surprise maybe for some will be no DPAF in 4K 60p or RAW recording.
• The buffer depth is insane.
• RAW video is MORE than 4K, but around 5.4K 2.6Gpbs data output.  Gulp.

We'll be adding more to this summary as we digest the specifications with everyone else, as well as massively trying to clean up the document. 

(Edit: We've entirely replaced what we originally had with a converted HTML and then line-by-line verification against the original PDF - PS, if you're going to copy it, give us credit.)
