Canon 1DX mark iii - why i bought it and unboxing 2023

Canon 1DX mkiii and cool accessories: amzn.to/3CdxDH4

[@LuigiL75]

I got my 1DXMK3 back in 2020 and I have been blissfully happily since...I didn't upgrade to the R3 and if things pan out like it's going, I won't be upgrading to the R1 from the 1DXMK3. This camera IS the final "Love Letter" to DSLR platform and it's a relationship that I am fully invested in! Welcome to the CREW! ☺

[@obsidian00]

I bought mine back in 2020 and it has been everything I have ever wanted and MORE! As you said, I could have purchased something “cheaper” but this body is exactly what MY workflow demanded…😊

[@RotterStudios]

Totally agree!

[@MannyScoot]

I just got back into photography and gave up around 2017 and went gray man for 3 years..... and now in 2020 got back into it again with a 1DX MK II and a Canon 5DSR shooting weddings and immediately found a gig in 2020 doing Real Estate and Commercial Building Photography ...... and now I am happy again...... I missed and loved my passion .....

[@RotterStudios]

Same here. Close to the same timeframe as well. Been doing it for 30 years, with 10 years as a business of mine....now I do it for myself and KZbin. I may do gigs again but not pursuing clients. Happy for you!

[@MannyScoot]

@@RotterStudios Good Job man.... I have been taking pictures since 1981 and in 1984 landed my Tampa Tribune job taking pictures from events reported on shortwave and then in 1985 helped in establishing the Auto Trader ..... A magazine that sells cars ..... Keep it up brother..... and save up to get more L glass.....ha ha..... It's a hard habit to break !!!!!

[@RotterStudios]

@@MannyScoot You established the auto trader? Are you in the Chicago area? I worked for tradin' times years ago. Auto Trader was great. My first camera was a 110 film camera with flash bulbs....how times have changed.

[@MannyScoot]

@@RotterStudios My first camera was a Nikon F3 HP with a Grip and then the Tampa Tribune decided to get me the Canon DCS520 and an introduction into digital, I never went back to Nikon ......I'm in Phoenix Arizona ....

[@MannyScoot]

@@RotterStudios yes I was the first photographer and sat down with the owners and directors and established the format on how to shoot on film and divide the frames and information-sequence for every frame and how to sell advertising to car dealers and it was all done with film ..... so it was a difficult scenario to organise.....because we had hundreds and thousands and it became BIG..... it was an experience ......

Lovely video, my father passed away last month and he taught me about photography. Have got a Canon 1V as I wanted to go back and do some film photography. Have got a 1DX which is amazing. I may... be tempted to get a 1DX 3 at some point. Amazing camera and you are right, do I need such a camera, no... but I enjoy it.

[@adude394]

The 1DX Mark III is so much more camera than someone like me needs. My 7D and 20D (and old 300D) are plenty good, still. But, I turned 60 the other day, and a used Mark III was my present to myself. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about it!

[@RotterStudios]

Agreed! I've had the 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5d mark ii, and they were fine. 5D and 40D and 20D were my favs. Anyway, HAPPY BDAY!

[@adude394]

@@RotterStudios Thanks, man! Appreciate it. (Not quite sure how I can be 60 when I'm still so immature, but there it is... 🤣)

[@RotterStudios]

@@adude394 Same here! Not far behind you.

[@LuigiL75]

I felt the same way once I had my 1DXMK3 in my hands...mine will NEVER record one second of video, strictly Photography!

[@adude394]

@@LuigiL75 You and me both, my friend! I'm strictly stills, too. No interest in video at all (no knowledge of it at all, to be honest). I actually just added an R6 Mk II to my arsenal, and in a few minutes I'm going to go out with that, the 1DX Mk III, and the 7D Mk II to take a few shots at it.

[@schumif1champ]

1dx ii still my fav camera. Contemplating getting a 1dxiii but have got rid of most of my lenses for EF.

[@RotterStudios]

I love the 1dx ii and was looking for one but couldn't find it. I was curious to try the auto focus scroll feature on 1dx iii with your thumb and I really love it. I sold all my gear about 5 years ago when I stopped shooting for clients and had nothing. I'm coming back now with DSLR again and I love EF. If you're happy with the 1dx ii, stick with it...it's a killer camera.

[@brownshoe72]

I still think this is the very best camera that Canon still manufactures today! You can still buy this camera brand new with a 2023 manufacture date. It’s expensive but so is everything else that’s good in the world. I also own the Nikon D850. In many ways I prefer my Canon. Why? Because color reproduction is unmatched. And really 20 mega pixels it’s super sharp. It captures light better than the D850. However comparably the D850 is not a professional line camera with Nikon. So the build quality is nowhere near the canon 1DX MkIII. Additionally, the auto focus system in the canon is phenomenally better than it is in the D850. When you’re dealing with tech you get what you pay for! And when doing so it’s always best to go with the best! I also own the canon R3 and the R5. I still prefer the canon 1DX MkIII!!

[@RotterStudios]

I also really enjoyed the Canon 5D original. Not the best in low light.....but so great with images. Had that awesome film look. Wish I never sold it.

[@retropuffer2986]

Fantastic. Looks like you'll have a lot of fun with that camera! 😊

[@verhalenuitdewijk]

i still shoot with the canon 1dx mark ii, i was thinking about grading to medium format... but for some reason im not ready to say good buy to this camera.

[@RotterStudios]

It is a killer camera!

[@MannyScoot]

do a tutorial on settings..... I would enjoy that !!!!

[@Wellin220365]

Do what everyone else does … try different settings until you get what you like, otherwise you will never ever understand your camera

[@mikedrozdowski3092]

Hi Steve nice video, i just purchased the canon 1dX MK iii a couple of weeks ago. Its a power house ! Love the huge size of this beast. You chose wisely, good for you Steve. Enjoy your beautiful camera. Mike 👍

[@RotterStudios]

Thanks Mike! Congrats to you as well!

[@michaeldande]

Hi Steve Did U GET IT NEW OR USED

[@RotterStudios]

used. didn't want to but every little bit helps.

[@mamumonkan]

Any idea if all the info settings could be set to "OFF" so one can see only the image and BLACK all around the image ???

[@RotterStudios]

Are you talking about viewing the images after taking them, or while taking them? Yeah, you can turn everything off in the menu while taking the image but you'd be flying blind.

[@mamumonkan]

thank you, yes, while taking the images ( which is why after 9 years of mirrorless I am thinking about returning to DSLR )@@RotterStudios

[@eprohoda]

amigo- that is superb .

[@robret13]

First and foremost great video. Second, does anyone know if there is a setting when switching from Photo mode to Video that keeps the current ISO, F Stop and Shutter Speed? In the 1dx2, you could switch back and forth between the modes and the same settings remained.

[@RotterStudios]

Let me check

[@robret13]

Thank you@@RotterStudios

[@3dbildermacher590]

Hi Steve, congratulations on your new, very expensive camera! Have fun with it :)

[@RotterStudios]

we'll talk soon....sorry.

[@3dbildermacher590]

@@RotterStudios would be nice because there is so much to talk after all this time:))

[@kirk0831]

It’s 2999 from canon refurbished

[@RotterStudios]

This is the range I paid. yep

[@videosuperhighway7655]

I use it because its tough enough to use in Ukraine.

[@sudhirkalapala]

Why is Steve calling me a photographer?

[@RotterStudios]

If you take photographs, then you are.
