Product Details of Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Black SLR Digital Camera - Body Only

Description

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1 Megapixels full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0" LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.

Simply Stunning!

Strengths: IQ, build, weather-proofing, autofocus, dust reduction, lens-specific focus compensation

Weakness: No dedicated WB button, no ISO 6400+, $8000 price tag!

Unbelievable image quality. Solid, rugged build. Weather-proofing everywhere. Ultra-fast autofocus. Overall, the camera is heavier than a 5D (duh) but it actually balances out things when you have a heavy long lens. Dust reduction is a nice new feature. Cannot select all focus points at once. No dedicated WB button and no ISO 6400+ (even though the D3 softens images at that ISO.) Two Compact...

Amazing Camera!

Strengths: Full frame, Picture Quality, high dynamic range, build quality, battery life, large 3" LCD, live view, self cleaning sensor, 14 bits processor, dual CF and SD card support

Weakness: My unit arrived with small dust specs on the sensor, LCD has a light purple cast.

The camera is much heavier than the 20D but I actually find it more practical to use. I like the easy access to all major settings through.

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

THE GOOD: Very low noise, high quality images; 21.1 megapixels; live view shooting; pro-level build-quality and performance. THE BAD: High price tag; heavy body; no AF in live view mode. THE BOTTOM LINE: The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though youll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.
