There’s a reason so many pros live and die by the Canon EOS 1D Mark III camera. With an amazing shooting speed of 10 frames per second, there’s no better camera for sports shooters, photojournalists, or even wildlife photographers. Throw in not one, but two of Canon’s incredible DIGIC III image processors, a brand-new all-metal weather-sealed body, and 14-bit analog-to-digital converters, and it’s clear that the Canon EOS 1D Mark III is in a class of its own. The dual memory slots (CompactFlash and Secure Digital), Live View function, and 3-inch LCD are all icing on the cake. Less
