Cant wait to see more specs in the coming weeks and see if its worth upgrading from my 1DX Mark II :)

so far:

A new era in autofocus speed and accuracy
The EOS-1D X Mark III will feature a brand-new AF sensor with 28x more resolution than its predecessor, using advanced AF algorithms with deep learning technology for incredible focus tracking in any situation. And in Live View and video there will be the added advantage of Dual Pixel CMOS AF across approximately 90x100 percent of the sensor with 525 AF areas. With AF over a wider EV range focusing with an EOS DSLR truly will never have been more accurate and versatile.

Outstanding stills and video
With a new Canon CMOS sensor and powerful new DIGIC processing, image quality even at high ISO will be taken to even greater levels along with 4K video at 60p, plus the options of capturing RAW video or 10-bit 4:2:2 video with Canon Log, both recorded internally to CFexpress cards. A new bright viewfinder will help connect you to your subject in real time.

High speed camera communications
Delivering captured content quickly is the vital next step for a professional. This is why the EOS-1D X Mark III will feature Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® low Energy connectivity and GPS capability for seamless communication. With double the transfer speeds of the EOS-1D X Mark II, via the built-in Ethernet port or through the optional WFT-E9, and with a revised user interface for simpler and more intuitive operation, the new EOS-1D X Mark III will be designed to get the job done faster than any EOS ever before.

Always ready to perform, whatever the situation
The EOS-1D X Mark III will be radically upgraded for superb performance. Not only will it offer a blistering frame rate with the optical viewfinder including AE and focus tracking, but also dramatic improvements in Live View mode with the same level of accuracy, plus the ability to shoot using an electronic shutter. The camera will be engineered to excel in all areas, with dramatically improved battery life using the LP-E19 battery, new illuminating buttons and an all-new AF point selection control within the AF-ON button in addition to the multi-controller. All in a magnesium alloy weather-sealed body.

I have a photography group coming over from the states tomorrow. One of the guys running it is Don Smith. He is a Sony artisan and he has the Sony A7RIV with him and promised me some time with it. I’ll have a good play with it tomorrow. Most likely wait and see what the specs are on this and make my mind up then.
 
In time for Olympics 2020 ? They wouldn't want the Nikon D6 to be the best sports camera there.
 
Decent sounding video features - my spidey sense is tingling.....
 
Currently very happy with a 1DX-2 but I suppose one day and upgrade/replacement may be necessary. Better start saving not just for the camera, but also for CFExpress card...
I've got one CFast card for my 1DX-2 which I use for low res images, and CF's for the full size image.
 
This is refreshing to see after all the talk of the DSLR being dead now that the big boys have gone down the mirrorless route.
 
I hope it isn't too much bigger physically. It fits the pattern of previous editions coming out ahead of the Olympics. I can't justify an upgrade but good to see a new DSLR.

uninspiring :(

Don't use video or live view.. adding 2 fps isn't going to sell me..

Why is the video showing wifi thingy attached if it has built in wifi ?

Jury out on this one...
 
Why don’t they implement the OVF/EVF tech used in the Fuji X-Pro series?

put in Live view mode with EVF to shoot with dual pixel. It would be amazing.
