Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Solid and Reliable Thing of Beauty
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned my Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III for about a year now, and while I felt some remorse at first after having spent almost $8000 to purchase it, I can now say that it was worth every penny. You can read the camera's specifications at Canon's Web site, so all I'll say here is that this camera is a joy to use and utterly reliable. I've never owned a finer piece of photographic equipment. That having been said, there is one thing about which you should be aware before purchasing this model: This camera's 21.1 megapixel sensor demands the finest lenses. Some of my old L-series zoom lenses (that worked well with my EOS-5D) are just not sharp enough to use on this camera. In other words, be prepared to spend even more money if you don't own the newest EF prime lenses.
Description of Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
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-megapixel 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-inch 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. The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates Canon's newest CMOS sensor, which delivers approximately 21.1 effective megapixels (5,632 x 3,750 pixels). The recording area of the sensor is 36 x 24mm, which is equivalent to the full-frame size of the 35mm film format. The tremendous pixel count delivers high-resolution images of exacting precision, with Photoshop file sizes over 60MB for outstanding quality at large print sizes and post-processing cropping flexibility. Despite the higher pixel density, Canon CMOS sensor technology ensures exceptionally low noise and the widest usable ISO range (from 50 to 3200, using ISO range extension).
