Recently, rumors have circulated that Canon quietly discontinued its ultimate DSLR beast. Many outlets even declared the Canon EOS 1D X Mark III dead. But here’s the reality: this flagship is very much alive, still in production, and sitting on Amazon as both a brand-new model and a Renewed option. And the price is still high.

The 1D X Mark III is still going strong
Despite Canon’s own admission that the 1D X Mark III would be its last DSLR Canon’s Chairman And CEO Fujio Mitarai: EOS 1D X Mark III Is Our Last DSLR, the camera hasn’t been put to rest. YMCinema’s check shows the model still shipping at full strength. On Amazon, it proudly carries the Amazon’s Choice badge with a steady $6,500 price tag. You can grab it here. For those who want to save, there’s also a Renewed version available at around $6,000. The earlier heavy discount that briefly dropped the price near $5,000 has disappeared, as reported in Huge Discount On The Legendary Canon 1DX Mark III.

The DSLR tank that refuses to vanish
The EOS 1D X Mark III remains one of the most reliable tools for professional shooters who simply do not want to switch to mirrorless. Sports and wildlife photographers, in particular, continue to rely on its bulletproof build, deep battery life, and optical viewfinder performance that still feels unmatched. Even its predecessor continues to circulate in the used and renewed markets, as seen in The Canon EOS 1D X Mark II For Just $1800 On Amazon Renewed. That longevity proves the appetite for pro-grade DSLRs hasn’t disappeared. Canon may not be actively innovating in DSLRs, but it hasn’t shut down production of its flagship. The 1D X Mark III stands as the last warrior of an era, catering to professionals who demand durability over novelty. Its price stability shows that demand remains healthy among high-dedicated shooters who value reliability above all else.
Takeaway
The Canon EOS 1D X Mark III isn’t gone. It’s alive, kicking, and still sitting proudly at the top of Canon’s DSLR food chain. If you’re one of those shooters who swears by the optical viewfinder and the no-compromise design, this tank is still waiting for you, and at full price 🙂
