Built for speed, sensitivity, and precision, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is a powerful DSLR designed for sports, wildlife, and other trying and dynamic imaging applications. The 1D X III is capable of full-width internal 12-bit 4K RAW recording at 5,472 x 2,886 up to 60fps – though AF/E and tracking are only supported up to 30fps. In addition to a selection of 4K crops, it also supports 1080p video at up to 120fps with AF/E and tracking. Thus, here comes the problem that H.265 video format is hardly compatible with many NLEs, like Final Cut Pro X.
