We knew that the sensor Canon had put into its flagship EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR was going to be a good one, and we`ve put it in front of our studio test scene to see how it stacks up against its sports-shooting peers.

Right off the bat, we can see good detail capture$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4993--867727231`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4993); }); }) for this class of camera at lower ISO values$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4994-672421372`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4994); }); }), but that`s not really a surprise. These cameras need to just work, in any situation, and the EOS-1D X III delivers in extremely low light$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4995--734843880`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4995); }); }) with noise levels noticeably lower than its predecessor. The Sony has a resolution advantage, but when we downscale all the cameras to a common resolution, the Canon still looks impressive$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4996-1281065173`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4996); }); }). However, the Nikon D5 continues to reign supreme as higher ISO$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4997-1755766028`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4997); }); }) values approach absurdity$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4998--2071627873`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4998); }); }).
Sports shooters and photojournalists also value good JPEGs$(document).ready(function() { $(`#icl-4999-1823666868`).click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(4999); }); }), as they will often be either forbidden from sending in edited Raw files, or they need to get a smaller file off to their editors as quickly as possible. While the JPEG engines on these cameras are all very cu ...
