It’s been well over two years since Canon launched the EOS-1D X Mark II for pro-level sports photographers. At the time, it broke new ground by offering 4K video capture in a stills-oriented DSLR for the first time, but given that it’s now getting on in age, it’s exciting to hear whispers about a successor on the horizon.

We've been hearing about the third iteration of Canon's full-frame sports DSLR for a while now, but details on its spec sheet have been sparse. However, leaked specifications of a prototype of the Canon 1D X Mark III could give us a fair picture of what to expect. According to Canon Rumors, the EOS 1D X Mark III will likely come with a 28.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor alongside a brand new image processor. The highlight of the report, however, is the news that the forthcoming shooter could boast a continuous shooting speed of 30fps.

Features •All-new full-frame CMOS sensor •3.2-inch touchscreen, 1,620,000 dots •DCI 4K video capture The 22.3MP sensor in the 5D Mark III was starting to look a little dated compared to some of the competition – it was actually only a minor bump-up in resolution from the 5D Mark II – so it's nice to see a notable jump to 30.4MP here.
