The CMOS sensor with high extension 2:3 (36 x 24 mm) enables 21,1 millions of effective pixels. A wide range of image sizes is possible: (L) 5616×3744, (M1) 4992×3328, (M2) 4080×2720, (S) 2784×1856, (RAW) 5616×3744, (sRAW) 2784×1856.

Images are stored at RAW (Canon RAW, release 2), TIFF, JPEG (DCF: «Design rule for Camera Format system») being customized from 1 to 10 for quality.
It is fully compatible with the PC (USB 2.0), measures 150 х 160 x 80 mm and weighs 1205 grams.
Leader at the reflex digital camera’s market, Canon provides the opportunity to store images in 16 bits of TIFF-folders measuring more than 100 MB. A new full-frame sensor CMOS gives 14 bits of color’s depth so EOS-1Ds Mark III increases image detail standards 35 mm cameras.

High processing speed and increasing resolution are provided by two processors DIGIC III, 5 frames per second speed, and the opportunity to shoot 56 images at high resolution in JPG-format (12 in RAW-format). You’ll be surprised by such a high professional level for shooting.
A new version of software Digital Photo Professional provides three times higher speed for reviewing images, better feature for noise-reduction and simultaneous package converting of TIFF and JPEG images.  |

Some personal moments: Canon EOS-1D Mark III is really cool, not very heavy and compact to handle up. The colors are bright and saturated, and the quality of 21.1 MP is very high with all mobility of the camera. To process the images you’ll need Photoshop CS3 or Canon software.
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III has inherited the platform of EOS-1D Mark III: 63-zone metering linked to AF points, auto focus system with 19 cross-type sensors, 3.0" LCD Live View and EOS Integrated Cleaning System. The option Highlight Tone Priority enables deeper colors in light parts. High speed EF 14MM f/2.8L II USM lens provides increasing detail image quality.
The extension standards supported by EOS-1Ds Mark III, push even famous shooting agencies claims up. The third generation CMOS-sensor has a new pixels structure intereacting with the noise-reduction system which gives high photo level at ISO 1600 sensibility.

The option to increase sensibility to H:3200 will enjoy photographers working at events with no flash allowed.
At back panel of camera there is the AF-ON button for auto focus. The viewfinder is brighter and has a larger angle.
The camera is housed in a solid body of magnesium alloy with a special covering protecting from moisture and dust. With Canon EOS-1D Mark III you’ll avoid accidental data loss thanks to audible alarm.
