Shutterbug reviews the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III a 21.1 megapixel full-frame digital SLR with 5 fps shooting, 45-point AF system and 3.0-inch LCD display with Live View.
They write; “I really liked the 1Ds Mark III—what’s not to like about a 21-megapixel SLR?—but have nagging questions about reliability of any new premium D-SLR, especially one costing $8000. The $4499 1D Mark III has the same look and feel as the 1Ds Mark III and both cameras, for the first time in any Canon pro D-SLR’s history, offer simple, readable menus. For $8000 you can buy a 1D Mark III, two EOS 40Ds, and have enough cash for lots of memory cards. Why does a used 16-megapixel Hasselblad digital back cost more than a brand-new 21-megapixel 1Ds Mark III? Where’s the bargain now, medium format shooters? If maximum image quality is your main overriding question, then Canon’s EOS-1Ds Mark III is the answer.”
