Well I just published a video a couple of hours ago, and at the end of that
video when I was talking about the 1d x mark 3, I said we don't know when canons
going to announce the 1d x mark 3. It could be right after this video. It could be
tomorrow. We just don't know. Sure enough, canon just announced the 1dx
mark 3 you can find it on canon usa.com I'm gonna go through some of the
key capabilities here that are video focused and the detailed specifications
does have a lot more information than we've talked about in previous
specifications so stay tuned
in terms of video specifications we have 5.5 K raw that's 54 72 by 2886
and in that mode we get 60 frames a second 30 24 and 23 point nine eight
that's in raw now remember auto function does not work
at 60 frames a second but we do get 30 frames a second with autofocus now in
the rumors there was no mention of 4k DCI but the 1dx mark 3 does come with 4k
DCI in the same frame rates that I just talked about in 5.5 K raw again
autofocus does not work but in this mode we have both all.i and IPB there is no
option for raw in fact if you're doing video the only option you get for raw is
in 5.5 K it also comes with 4k uhd our standard 4k for most filmmakers and it
comes with 29 or 30 and 60 frames a second in both all I and IPB and all the
other modes that we're going to talk about come with all I and IPB now it
does come with a 4k DC I cropped mode so this differs from the regular DCI mode
in that well I don't really know to be honest with you I bet you what's
happening here because we've got the same frame rates the same type of codecs
I think what we might find out is that the the there might be more detail in
this mode now in full HD we get 120 frames a second and guess what audio is
not recorded at this high frame rate but there's no mention of losing autofocus
so it looks like at 1080p we get 120 frames per second 60 frames per second
30 frames per second and 24 frames a second ranging from all I I P B and I PB
light so that looks pretty good for the recording side not as crippled as many
of us had thought this was something I was really hoping to see I wanted to see
the option of h.265 or HEV see if you don't have a newer computer it's going
to be tough to work with h.265 it's a modern
codec it preserves more detailed information more dynamic range and more
color and if you're gonna be working with 4k you really do want to get a
machine that can handle h.265 so this is a big plus we have h.264 and we have
h.265 so that's really really good news on the video front oh and of course we
have Canon log and it is confirmed that is 10 bit 4 to 2 colorspace the maximum
transfer speed using CF Express 1.0 is 1.9 7 gigabytes a second that's bites
not bits that's pretty fast if you're using C fast 2.0 you're capping out at
600 megabytes a second the image sensor is definitely confirmed at twenty point
one megapixels now the total pix is actually twenty one point four but we
only get to access twenty point one megapixels of that and it does use the
three point two aspect ratio movies will come in all I I P B IP be light and raw
they'll use it file extensions of mp4 and CRM the image extensions our JPEG
hif and C are three
because I've covered the Canon 1dx mark three extensively I'm not going to go
through every single specification because you can simply go to the website
and do it yourself but from a video standpoint from a filemaker standpoint
we've learned a couple of things here tonight 4k 4k DCI and 4k cropped are
available we also get h.265 along with h.264 and it's not as crippled as we
thought yes we don't get to use autofocus in 60 frames per second in 4k
and that is a shame and we also don't get to record audio not too big of a
deal this is a powerful camera this is a powerful camera aimed primarily at sport
shooters sport shooters for the Olympics for car racing anything where things are
moving very very quickly where you can spray and pray and at 20 frames a second
chances are you're gonna do very well so who is this camera designed for well it
is designed primarily for the sports shooter Olympics running horse racing
anything that involves fast action car racing for example 20 frames per second
and highly accurate but it's a very good camera for filmmaking as well I really
wish I could take those filmmaking capabilities and put it into the body of
the 5d Mark 5 or the EOS our mark 2 now there that would be amazing but if I was
Canon I would do exactly that I would take the capabilities of the 1 DX mark -
or sorry the mark 3 the video capabilities and I would take those and
put them into the EOS our mark - and then I take out my magic crippled hammer
and I would take away 4k 60 but I give 4k 30 I'd take a writ way of raw as well
but I give you h.264 in h.265 I would give you a hundred and 20 frames per
second in 1080p with a new sensor with new auto focusing I think that camera
would be amazing that is what I believe that is what I hope will be the EOS arm
art - the 5d Mark 5 because the 1dx marked 3 as amazing as
it is as a camera is not for the ordinary filmmaker I can guarantee you
we're gonna see Peter McKinnon filming with this we'll see Maddie filming with
this we'll see others filming with this but I don't have the budget for it I
can't afford it I'd probably be looking at at least $10,000 just to kit it out
to get it to where I need it to be with CF Express cars the lenses that I need
but it doesn't take away from the camera it is amazing but for me I'm gonna wait
for the 5d Mark 5 with co-star mark 2 we might not hear about those until maybe
February or March and the fight though why can't I speak I'm too excited so
much going on the 1 DX mark 3 is due to be released in the middle of February
