Canon 1DX III - A Look at the Video Features

[@ProAVTV]

We didn't mention it in the video, but it's worth pointing out that this has the 1080p 120p slow motion mode with no crop & full AF, same as the 1dx II had, but it is now 10 bit 4.2.2 HEVC All-I at 470Mbps Carl

[@albanobaptista1623]

it seems great

[@definitionxmk]

Nice. I don't think even the C500mk2 has full AF at those settings.

[@SPQR3ROME]

Как тебе такое, Илон Маск?

[@TylerEdwards]

As a C200 owner, the 1DXiii ticks all the boxes for me as a b-cam, gimbal, travel and nasty weather cam. I can’t wait for mine

[@ProAVTV]

Absolutely, gives you the choice of the right tool for each situation Carl

[@johnfragos7660]

Β-cam? This is better than your C-200 , almost C-500 level :) ... Enjoy it

[@TylerEdwards]

@@johnfragos7660 if it had built in ND and dual XLR, I would agree, but image isn't everything and it by no means can replace the C200 :)

[@daniellove162]

Tyler Edwards - Having never got into the habit of trusting a cameras preamp, I could certainly see preferring this as an A cam. But Yea built in NDs are cool.

[@EdMartinIMN]

Speaking of video auto-focus capabilities can you put the 1DX Mark III on a tripod with face tracking enabled then hit record ,walk around in front of the camera and the auto focus track you or must you first select what you want tracked with the touch screen? That would largely determine whether it is a good camera to use without a camera person (or additional monitor) since you can't see the rear screen from in front of the camera.

[@TonyMacina]

The heir to the 5DmkII. Though they had to bring something over from the 1DXmkII, huge file sizes. This time it's the RAW, so definitely worth it when ultimate flexibility is needed. This and the S1H are really pushing the boundaries for hybrid shooters! Never going to afford one, but what an incredible tool.

[@jeromechiu]

Circa 1:05: 5.5K RAW @24/25/30P with Dual-Pixel AF? I hope I heard it right! In addition: 4K 60P with DPAF at 1.3x crop, as well as 2K 120P at full width of sensor! Whoa!

[@ProAVTV]

Yes you heard right. And DPAF in the 2k 120p as well Carl

[@LoverOfTech]

Wooow Canon Actually came out punch. This new Digic X processor is a good sign to come for RF Mirrorless body

[@ProAVTV]

Absolutely! They have said they are working on a pro mirrorless camera to sit above the EOS R, so it will be very interesting to see what features from this they bring to that camera Carl

I really hope so. There is still no equivalent zoom lens to the 28-70mm f2 RF for any other system or format. And 28, 50, and 70mm FF-eqv are three of my favorite focal lengths on which I can shoot over 80% of my work with.

However if you dont go touch any of the camera buttons it will go to sleep and the external recording will record... well nothing. So in a way the camera can not be unmanned unless you figure out to press a button every now and then.

[@ethandelichte4790]

Thanks Carl for answering the crop factor in 4K 60fps mode with AF still on! I saw some reviews say it was 1.5x instead of 1.27x, and I was wondering why that number was different than the 1Dx II. However, I am stoked it's only 1.27x to match my lenses on the mark II!

My question is does Canon allow you to coupled it with the Black Magic Video Assist 4K? I love BRaw and would love to have a dual af full frame raw shooting camera. If so I would buy this camera the second it drops.

[@ProAVTV]

The HDMI out isn’t a raw signal. So it would be recorded by the video assists, but not as Blackmagic raw. Carl

[@geariebowman5034]

ProAV TV Very sad to hear. Thanks Carl! LovedYour black magic pocket 4K review. Awesome channel

[@cretuoctavian8114]

Should I choose the Canon 1DX MK III for video work over Sony A7III if I already had a Canon 6D MK II and a Canon 16-35mm F2.8 IS III lens ?

[@mikewinburn]

okay... Q: so you use the new mouse to move the focus point - you cannot then simply press the button like an regular AF-On / Backbutton focus? I assumed you could tell the camera to use all focus points selected to start tracking in Auto... this is what you do w/ the 1DX2. You move the joystick to move your focus point to a selected point, press it in Auto, and that's where it starts tracking. Can you no longer do this because of the new AF-On mouse implementation? thanks m

[@timelapsega]

For the first time in a long, long time Canon exceeded expectations. Was not expecting 12-bit RAW. The media costs for shooting RAW are going to be insane though, you only get 4 minutes per 64GB at 5.5K-24/30, and a 128GB CFExpress costs $200. Edit: apparently it will output RAW through HDMI so wont be too bad in terms of storage costs.

[@geariebowman5034]

I’m thinking about coupling it with the Black Magic Video Assist 4K. BRAW is insanely gorgeous and low on data.

[@cagf2013]

I heard it only outputs 10bit over hdmi

[@darealphantom]

Definitely the best and most informative video I’ve seen on the Mark iii I can’t wait to rent this one out

[@riojiang9377]

This is crazy. And crazy expensive too.

[@purpledoorproduction]

Hey Carl. Can you still record in Canon Log when outputting to an external recorder like the shogun inferno?

[@OlimpiuVuia]

Canon had a very interesting odyssey when talking about recording media. Going from CF to SD, C-Fast and now CFexpress in less than 7 years So if I upgrade from my C100 to C200... I have to upgrade media, and now... If I'll chose 1DX... I'll have to go with CFexpress. How expensive is this transition? However, from the filmmakers point of view, Sony seems to make better hybrid cameras. It would be nice if 1DX had at least one mini XLR for audio. Lets see how the next A7s specifications will look like. But this seems to be a tough camera meant for professional use.

[@morningtidefilms]

Two questions: 1. Is the AF so good that you don’t feel the need for focus assist options? 2. Any info on audio recording features and quality, for professional video use?

[@aregal]

boroc7 I forget which reviewer said it but they noted that the noise floor was significantly lower. That being said, I’m not sure if Canon use better preamps, recorded with increased bit depth, or both.

[@JeffXiaoAn]

great video! just wanna clarify, in raw recording, u will have af at full frame up to 30p in all resolutions and also, u will get af at 60p in crop mode is that right? it seems like a crazy video camera that also takes great pictures. haha

[@SnapJimmy]

Great vid! After watching it, I’m trying to decide between 1DX Mk3 and R5. I most shoot photos and not much video. I usually shoot events, so very dark places and people moving fast. With my 6Dii, 5 out of 10 shots are blurred & can’t use them. If money is not an issue, which one do u think is better?

[@ericellsworth9852]

Canon saw Blackmagic 12bit raw and said, "Well, guess we have to flex our mussels." Don't know if canon can produce the same dynamic range and recording time as the blackmagic, but its auto focus and battery life sure make it a big competitor in my opinion.

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

Record Time probably not also keep in mind there is a 30 min record limit on this camera. But remember with raw, depending on the NLE you use, you can access other log profiles (like c-log2 and clog3) which can offer greater dynamic range if the sensor can handle it. A good indication will be how good the stills DR will be

[@geariebowman5034]

I’m curious to know if it will work with the BMVA 4K.

[@jeredharris1143]

To be fair tho you can buy like 2 bmpcc 6k’s and have $1000 leftover for lenses

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

Jered Harris yeah but you then have to buy battery alternatives cages 2 external monitors focus pulls. There’s a lot of external features to make the 6ks viable options much more than the 1DX mark iii. This is coming from a pocket 6K owner.

[@jeredharris1143]

James Jackson Films Very true, it all just depends on what type of setup you’re looking for!

[@JamesVancePresents]

I heard that the RAW capabilities aren’t what people think, like it’s not true RAW like you would get with the C200. You can adjust the white balance and different things in post. Also I heard that the Canon Log they have within this camera is more like the Canon Log in the Canon EOS R, and not the C200. On top of that you can’t open the “RAW” in Adobe Premier either, only Final Cut and Avid.

[@ProAVTV]

Its a new raw format, the camera isn't even released yet. It's to early to know what software companies will be able to do with it. I'm sure they will increase support in time. Carl

[@JamesVancePresents]

[@shadilagrate4563]

Wish I had one I think it is the best camera out there just my opinion

[@brettrohlfingvideo]

If they can give us UHD 4k 60p with AF (and 1.5 crop, that's fine) then I'm interested. Only DCI 4k 60p cropped for AF just isn't gonna cut it for me with that price tag. Not trying to go crop and recompose each slow motion shot to have af.

[@langohr9613ify]

You didnt mention the screen. Because you got no evf, you have to use that. I think this makes this camera not good for handheld work, because holding it in front of your face, makes it really unstable. With my gh5 i was really impressed hot good it is for those qick, statik b roll shots, where i don´t find me using a tripod anymore.

[@NaturalGallantBodybuilding]

How would this compare to the C200 when it comes to the RAW codec. I know the C200 shoots 12 bit raw at 30 frames per second.

[@ProAVTV]

It's a slightly different implementation of the raw codec, so we will have to wait and see really. But interestingly the 1DX III is 12 bit in both 30/25p and 60/50p wheras the C200 drops to 10 bit in 60/50p Carl

[@perspectrum]

Whats the the dynamic range like compared to the Canon C200? I am thinking about getting this as a b cam. Also when shooting raw can you edit it in clog 2 or clog 3 in Davinci Resolve or are you stuck in clog?

[@stu9000]

Thanks for focusing on the video specs. I'm assuming there is a legal or technical reason you can't show us any footage. Looking forward to seeing some raw that has been heavily graded.

[@ProAVTV]

The reason we haven't shown any footage from the camera is that we only had a few hours with it to make this video so didn't really have the time to shoot anything with it really. Once we get our hands back on it we'll be sure to share some footage. Dan

[@giacomogiorgi5975]

This looks like a beast. Would you say that at the same price point of the Canon C200 you will get better images out of this? Also is this going to subclass the C200 if one doesn't want to shoot raw, since it has the 10 bit 422 files?

[@ProAVTV]

Potentially, it would be interesting to put them side by side. there’s lots more going on than just image quality though, they are completely different ergonomics Carl

[@giacomogiorgi5975]

@@ProAVTV Yeah the ergonomics is a "big down" for DSLR type cameras, that is why i was asking primarily for image quality. If the C200 would have the 10 bit codec i wouldn't really care about the 5.5K and care relatively little about the sensor size, but that full sensor + 10 bit non raw + 5.5K + that price... it all surely makes it quite interesting despite the ergonomics.

[@ProAVTV]

Yes your right, for lots of work the C200 would be a better choice. It's what it is designed for after all. But the size and weather sealing of the 1DX will mean for some work it is the best choice out there. Plus the stills side of the camera of course. Carl

[@urbanchally]

First of all congratulations for the nice job you 're doing! I am curious if Canon mentioned (or if you asked them) if there is a possibility to include dual pixel autofocus in 4K 60P in a future firmware update, or this is not an option at all for this processor -or for not effecting an cinema line sales-. Also the same question goes for the lack of sound recording in 120fps FHD mode.

[@ProAVTV]

I doubt it on the AF in 4K 60p. If canon could do that they would have included it out of the box. They rarely bring big new features like that in firmware. Not sure about the 120p sound recording though. Carl

Mark Thompson of course it does, it’s a proper film camera. No veteran filmmaker would consider the 1DX Mk III as their only camera, over a cinema camera. But different jobs and projects require different tools.

So no 8k?

This feels like a bit of a stomach punch to the fx9 outside of broadcast.

Yes and no, its hard to compare cameras with a video style of ergonomics and ones with a DSLR form factor. Carl

[@GBftw]

@@ProAVTV I was more thinking image quality than form factor. This has true 24p, internal raw, resolution above 4k and full frame 4k 60, while I believe the fx9 has none of these. And at a much lower price. With a free sports camera built in. That's not a small or insignificant list.

Wow Canon! Really did it this time!

Why even take pictures on this? Just record 60 fps raw and take snapshots from that :)
