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-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.

Features:

A New Full-Frame Performance Standard
The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates Canons 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).

Highlight Tone Priority
Activated via a Custom Function on the EOS-1Ds Mark III, the unique Highlight Tone Priority feature takes full advantage of the cameras 14-bit per channel digital conversion to provide smoother gradations from the grays to the highlights and preserve greater detail in image highlight areas — a perennial problem for digital photographers, especially those who work in bright sunlight or contrasty studio lighting. Highlight Tone Priority expands the available range of capture in the highlights, yet it exacts no penalties in either shadow detail or other aspects of image capture.

Setting Description Saturation Sharpness
Standard (default setting) Vivid, sharp images; usable in a wide variety of conditions; optimal for direct printing without post-processing high slightly high
Portrait Warmer skin tones, with slight increases in contrast and sharpening. slightly high slightly low
Landscape Extremely bright, saturated and sharpened images, with emphasis on blue and green color saturation. high green-blue high
Neutral Low sharpening, contrast and saturation: the ideal starting point for image-editing in the computer. low none
Faithful Accurate reproduction of the subjects colors based on colorimetric data; assumes 5500K light source low none
Monochrome Black & White images; adjustable contrast, sharpening, as well as color toning and effects of traditional color filters. none (monochrome) slightly high

Dual DIGIC III Image Processor
Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in parallel to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver the speed and power needed to combine 21.1 million pixels and 5 frames per second. The latest-generation DIGIC III Image Processor works in concert with Canons CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. The entire electronic system is totally re-designed, giving the camera its incredible combination of speed and image quality. Digital noise is significantly reduced in shadow areas, and color reproduction is superior.

Composing and Shooting with Live View Function
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features a sophisticated Live View Function, which makes the LCD monitor a real-time finder. When the Live View Function is enabled, the reflex mirror is locked up and the shutter opens. The image output from the CMOS sensor will be displayed in real time on the LCD monitor with 100 percent coverage. A selectable portion of the image can be magnified by 5x or 10x to aid in precise manual focusing. Focus, exposure check, composing, and shooting can all be accomplished in this mode. There is also a grid overlay option, perfect for architectural photography.

Live View Function is convenient for tripod-mounted shooting, macro work, precise shooting with Canons Tilt-Shift lenses, and many other situations in which it is a physical strain to keep the eye at the viewfinder. The image can also be displayed on a TV monitor, which is ideal for showing photographs, as they are being composed, to clients and portrait subjects.

Large 3.0-inch LCD Monitor
At 3.0 inches diagonal, the EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs LCD monitor is exceptionally large. The big, clear image is ideal for Live View Function. It also makes it easier than ever to confirm capture, check memory card contents, confirm shooting parameters, and access menu options.

Remote Live View Function
Using Canon EOS Utility software, photographers can check and adjust focus and composition in real time on their personal computers, whether in the studio or on location. The camera can even be fired remotely from the computer. Connection between the camera and computer can be done via USB cable or, with the optional WFT-E2A Wireless Transmitter, via wireless LAN or an Ethernet connection.

Unprecedented Shutter Durability
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features an improved heavy-duty shutter that has been durability tested to 300,000 cycles—the highest ever in an SLR.* The camera thus provides long service life and inspires the all-important confidence for the professional that comes from the knowledge that the shutter will perform on demand.

Weather-Resistant Design
Extensive weatherproofing ensures superior reliability, even when shooting in harsh environments. Rubber gaskets are used at nearly every joint and seam—including around the battery compartment cover, memory card door, and flash shoe—to keep out moisture and dust.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Photographers who must change lenses in dusty environments will find the advanced Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System a tremendous time saver. Dust that settles on the low-pass filter is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. Dust particles can also be automatically removed via software. By shooting a plain white subject, the photographer can acquire dust position data called "Dust Delete Data" that is transmitted along with each subsequent image (whether JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) v.3.2 or higher software can then be used to manually or automatically erase the dust spots, before the image ever gets to Photoshop or a similar image-editing program.

Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
Dust that has been missed by the Integrated Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.2 or higher. The EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs imaging sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface, then plots out their location coordinates within the image. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canons DPP software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.

Dust Delete Data Detection
Dust that has been missed by the Integrated Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.2 or higher. The EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs imaging sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface, then plots out their location coordinates within the image. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canons DPP software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.

Impressive Shooting Performance
The new 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor generates a tremendous volume of data that must be processed by the camera. Thanks to unparalleled Canon high-speed data management technologies—including the use of dual DIGIC III processor chips—the EOS-1Ds Mark III delivers full-resolution performance without sacrificing all-important shooting speed or camera responsiveness. Maximum continuous shooting is 5 fps, and up to 45 consecutive full-resolution JPEG or 15 RAW images can be captured in a single continuous burst (at shooting speeds up to the full 5 fps).

Compatible with UDMA CF Cards
The EOS-1Ds Mark III supports the latest, faster UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) CF memory cards. UDMA-compliant CF cards offer twice the data transfer rate of conventional cards, further enhancing the shooting and post-shooting performance of the EOS-1Ds Mark III.

Incomparable Canon EOS AF Technology
The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates new Canon AF technologies that bring about improvement in key performance areas. The extraordinary 45-point high-density area AF system provides not only the industrys largest continuous AF coverage area, but also the greatest range of control over focusing point selection. The focusing point can be selected automatically by the camera (based on high-speed microcomputer analysis of image content), or users can manually select any of the 19 high precision cross-type AF points, which can be complemented by 26 additional Assist Points for fast, accurate focusing.

A separate processing unit devoted solely to autofocus calculation is a key in the EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs superb AF performance. The One-Shot AF mode is ideal for more static subjects. The camera rapidly selects the optimum focusing point, and the subject is instantly brought into focus even if it is off-center. The AI Servo AF mode is excellent for moving subjects. Aided by a the cameras outstanding new AF sensor and powerful processing abilities, it precisely tracks subject movement, even when shooting continuously at 5 fps. Even with erratic or rapid subject movement, the photographer can concentrate solely on image composition.

New Custom Functions aid the photographer in choosing default focusing points, as well as changing the size of a manually-selected AF point, making this not only the fastest, but also the most customizable AF system on the planet.

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A
A significant redesign of Canons earlier wireless transmitter, the new WFT-E2A is much more compact and provides a broader range of useful professional functions. It integrates elegantly with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, is powered by the camera body, and is as durable and weather-resistant as the camera itself. Not only can the cameras files be sent to a compatible computer in three different wireless modes, but you can even remote-control the camera, wirelessly, from your computer.

The WFT-E2A can be easily set up to operate in wireless LAN (802.11b or g) environments. A new, more efficient built-in antenna enables wireless communication with host computers or access points up to 492 ft./150m)* away. Where wireless access is limited, the WFT-E2A can be used for conventional (wired) Ethernet connection.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host capability enables the use of external storage media, such as a USB hard drive, for memory card backup, quick copying of files, or just vastly expanded shooting capacity. Images shot on the camera can be recorded directly to the hard drive. The WFT-E2A can also communicate with various third-party GPS devices connected via USB. Location coordinates, precise Universal Time Code, and altitude can be sent to the camera and added to each images original shooting data.

* With a large, high-performance antenna attached to the wireless LAN access point. With a large, high-performance external antenna connected to a wireless LAN access point receiver. Wireless distance range is dependent upon environmental conditions and other radio interference.

Interchangeable Focusing Screens
The EOS-1Ds Mark III is equipped with the Laser Matte Ec-C IV focusing screen, which provides superior optical performance. Background blur appears more natural, and graininess and flare are reduced. At the same time, the finder is brighter, especially at the edges and corners. As with all EOS-1 Series SLRs, the EOS-1Ds Mark III gives a photographer the widest choice of interchangeable focusing screens. Currently, there are 15 different Ec-series screens.

EF Lenses
Of course the EOS-1Ds Mark III is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical optics and fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses. A new addition to the L Series is the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens. With a 114° angle of view that can be captured with the EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs full-frame sensor. Unlike a fisheye lens, this stunning new ultra-wide lens is totally corrected for linear distortion, and offers even better sharpness and contrast than its predecessor, Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS-1Ds Mark III.

Flash Photography
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. The cameras new 63-zone evaluative metering sensor is also used for flash metering — giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, Custom Function II-4-1 allows shifting flash metering so that all 63 zones of the sensor are used equally to calculate flash exposures.

Canons Speedlite 580EX II is perfectly suited to the EOS-1Ds Mark III. It has improved reliability of communications through the direct contacts, has a metal flash "foot," and is dust- and water-resistant as with the EOS-1Ds Mark III. Other new features include a PC socket on the flash unit, and an external metering sensor for non-TTL auto flash if desired. With the EOS-1Ds Mark III, you can set most flash settings directly from the cameras menus. It has the same power as the previous Speedlite 580EX (maximum guide number of 190 ft./58m at ISO 100), and with its built-in wide panel, can be used with lenses as wide as 14mm on Canons full-frame cameras. It includes an AF-assist Beam, which works in conjunction with the EOS-1Ds Mark IIIs focusing system, and automatically sends color temperature information to the camera when the flash fires, for more accurate white balance rendition with flash photography.

Software
Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 15.0)
The EOS-1D Mark III comes bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer. These include Canons ZoomBrowser EX for Windows® (Version 5.8), ImageBrower for Macintosh® OS X (Version 5.8), Digital Photo Professional (Version 3.2), Canons EOS Utility (Version 2.0), RAW Image Task (Version 2.6), PhotoStitch, and PTP TWAIN Driver. Each application is designed to perfect captured images and streamline the digital workflow.

    Recomended Accessories for Canon 2011B002 EOS-1Ds Mark III 21.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body:

    Memory Cards

    Tip: Why do I need a larger memory card? Typically the manufacturer only supplies a starter card which doesn't offer comfortable capacity for a trip, special occasion etc. Don't get caught short. Special moments happen only once and you don't want to be stuck with no memory left! Usually it's good to go with a 1GB or a 2 GB card. High resolution photos take up plenty of space and before you know on a smaller memory card, you will run out of it.


    Batteries

    Tip: The manufacturer only supplies a starter battery, which does not offer much time to take your pictures. Do not miss out on your child's first steps because of low batteries. You could never have too many.

    Video Tripods

    Tip: Have you ever returned from a trip thinking you had taken some great shots? But, upon review of your prints you were disappointed to discover that some of them, especially those shot indoors or at night or in other dark places, came out blurry, looking like someone was shaking the camera when you took the picture? That is a very common problem called “Camera Shake” and every year it destroys millions of photos that could have been wonderful. “Camera Shake” is caused when there isn’t enough light for the camera to set a fast shutter speed. Your camera’s shutter opens and has to stay open for up to several seconds for enough light to hit the film to make an image. The problem: most people cannot hold a camera perfectly still for more than a small fraction of a second. The blurry image you see is caused by the camera moving while the shutter is open, and it happens to everyone. To avoid “Camera Shake” and get a clear sharp picture in low light, the camera must be attached to something so it will not move at all. That is where a tripod comes in. Mount the camera to the tripod and it will not move. Also, use the camera’s self-timer or a cable release so that you are not touching the camera when the picture is taken. Do this, and you will eliminate “Camera Shake” and get the great clear pictures you were expecting.

    Camera Flashes & Accessories

    Tip: A external/ add on flash is important and only then will you discover especially for indoors human potrait shots, skin tones are more natural and with the background showing more, it makes the overall picture more pleasant and exciting to look at. Focusing thus becomes very important too. Without focus, your subject becomes ”un important” in the overall pics.

    Macro

    Tip: Macro shots have a variety of uses. They add variety, information and interest. Productions about hobbies or collections cry out for macro shots showing the details of coins, stamps or figurines. Imagine interviewing a coin collector. Visualize the collector talking about a coin, turning it over in his hand then laying it on the table in front of him. This would set up a macro shot of the coin. Footage of old photographs is another opportunity for the use of macro techniques. Historical productions benefit from closeups of old photographs or documents. They not only convey information but also relieve the visual monotony of a talking head. A macro lens is a superb tool and will also work very well as a general purpose lens of the same focal length. Taking close-up pictures of very small things is called ”macro photography.” For macro photography you will need a macro lens.

    Telephoto

    Tip: People who shoot wildlife or surfing competitions use long lenses to bring that distant person or animal up close for a good look. Telephoto lenses let you see the details of something far off. Telephoto lenses flatten perspective. They make different elements in the picture look closer together than they really are. You've seen this in movies where the hero seems to be walking down an incredibly crowded street with people squeezed right up next to him. You get this effect by standing well back and shooting with a long telephoto lens. The magnification of a telephoto can be used for dramatic effect. For example, you may want to shoot a twilight shot that includes the full moon in the background. The moon will appear larger and closer if you shoot with a long lens. You can also zoom in on objects that aren't so far away. While a telephoto lens usually will not focus close enough to be a true macro lens (used for very detailed close-ups), it will often enable you to take interesting close-ups or details. At close range, the shallow depth of field of a telephoto will also help the item stand out from its background. On even normal-sized subjects, you can minimize distracting backgrounds using depth of field. If possible, move your subject away from the background and adjust your focus to soften the background but keep the subject sharp. Manipulating perspective is a useful creative tool. If you want to associate two things that are separated, move back and shoot them with your telephoto. This will make them appear closer together. To be creative, you need to know your equipment, what it can do, and what it can't. The telephoto lens is one of your most creative tools. By learning its characteristics and visual effects, you can use this tool to increase the impact of your videos and/ or pictures.

    Wide Angle

    Tip: In Photography Wide-angle lenses provide large depth of field, making it simple to have foreground and background in focus. Because they take in such wide areas (angles of view), they are excellent for working in tight spaces, such as building interiors, or close-up group pictures. Most wide angles tend to show distortion, just like when you look into a curved mirror, particularly when a subject is photographed close-up. They are extremely handy when you don’t have time to focus accurately or compose properly, because they take in the whole scene and most of it will be in focus. No photojournalist would be without one. They are also ideal for landscapes, taking in large areas of ground and sky, and travel photography.

    Canon 2011B002 EOS-1Ds Mark III 21.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Reviews



    Mizael Regalado's Review from Corpus Christi, Texas: - September 25, 2007

    Unbelievable technology! 21.1MP at 5fps is an unheard of accomplishment. I have worked with medium format cameras like Hasselblad and Mamiya and they can pack the mega-pix but can't come anywhere near the speed! Canon continues to be the leader in digital photography.
