Canon revealed the EOS-1D X Mark III in January 2020, we declared that the DSLR’still is n’t dead’. But that camera will mark the end of the line for a flagship model that some pro photographers still swear by.

Canon CEO Fujio mitarai gave an interview this week to the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. The piece highlight how high-end mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras have taken market share digital single-lens cameras previously dominated.

The Mark III is the last model in Canon’s flagship eos-1 series. In a few years Canon will stop developing and producing its flagship DSLR cameras in favor of mirrorless cameras.

Canon’s EOS R3 cameras are the future of the segment. It also says that because of strong overseas demand, the company plans to continue making intro/mid-range cameras for the time being.
