The 1DX Mark III - how does it compare?
The 1DX Mark III has been officially launched. How does it compare against the rest of its competitors? Of course, the elephant in the room is the fact that the Nikon D6 has yet to be announced, and we don't have a confirmed specification list for it yet. While it's not a slam dunk, the 1DX Mark III certainly has a lot going for it in terms of features against its base competitors, and has improved in nearly every category against the 1DX Mark II. The difference in battery life, is in my opinion, astounding.
One point to make here, it's mentioned on dpreview that DPAF will function on 4K60p in a cropped mode. No mention of the crop, but it's likely to be 1.3x
