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

Purchased the Mark III in September 2007.  Over one year later this camera still continues to amaze me!  The controls are laid out perfectly and the camera feels like it's just the right size in my hands.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: The perfect balance?

bytheuerkorn May 12, 2009
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Resolution, IQ, ergonomics, High ISO, HD video, lens fine tune, battery, quiet, UDMA
Cons only 3.9fps, 9-point AF system, no integrated flash, "expensive"
