Canon EOS 1DS Mark III review
, Posted in
Canon has release the pro level Digital SLR camera. Its Canon EOS 1DS Mark III. A full frame format Digital SLR camera, brings you excellent photography experiences. Which equipped with 21.1 megapixels of resolution.
The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an high tech engineering, 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.
After 16 months of use, the 1Ds Mark III has proven to be a superb camera. Image quality is remarkably good and the build quality is without peer. The AF point selector aside, the controls are well placed and intuitive, which makes this camera much easier to use than its predecessor. Start up time is fast and processing time is reasonable, given the huge size of the files.
The menu design is vastly improved and the battery life is nothing short of amazing. I have a spare battery for my 1D series cameras and have yet to use it, even when shooting all day long with IS in cold weather. This camera also performs extremely well in inclimate weather; I have shot outdoor sports in the driving rain with no protection whatsoever and it never fogged or stalled. Other than weight, cost and the AF selector, I have been completely satisfied with the performance of this camera and would recommend it to any serious photographer.
