Canon EOS-1D X Mark III priced higher than Canon R1

I completely agree with this article. Technically speaking, there’s no logical reason to justify why Canon is pricing the EOS-1D X Mark III at $6,499 while the Canon R1 is being sold for around $6,300—unless, perhaps, the R1 isn’t selling well and is being treated as little more than a new version of the Canon R3.

 

Don’t get me wrong—the EOS-1D X Mark III is built like a tank. It’s one of the best DSLRs on the market. It’s just strange to see a company release a new version of what’s supposed to be the flagship at a lower price than the old “king.”
