CANON 1DX MARK III

The burst rate in live view mode is a game changer for action shots, and the camera handled perfectly even at high ISOs. I managed to get sharp, clean images from a dimly lit indoor event with no flash. Absolutely worth the rental fee for that kind of performance.

The 20.1-megapixel sensor handled the low-light concert I shot without breaking a sweat, and the 16 fps burst mode never missed a beat. Body’s a hefty 1.25 kg, but that weight keeps it steady in your hands. Only wish the rental came with a second battery, though the ones it had lasted a full day.

Rented this body for a weekend shoot and the 20 fps in live view mode was a game changer for capturing fast action. The weight felt balanced and the shutter response was instant.
