The Professional Canon EOS-1D Mark III SLR

The Canon EOS-1D Mark III sets the standard when it comes to professional level digital SLR photography.

Being a professional level camera, the Canon EOS-1D Mark III is built to last. A magnesium alloy body with environmental seals protects the camera from moisture and dust as well as the more simple demands of day-to-day operation.

An APS-H size (28.1 x 18.7mm) CMOS sensor captures exceptionally rendered images with a broad dynamic range and low visual noise.

A large 3.0″ TFT LCD screen with 10x magnification allows you to review your shots in crisp detail. If you find yourself shooting from a restricted position, Live View mode lets you compose your shot using the LCD.

The 10 megapixel Canon EOS-1D Mark III can shoot an astonishing 110-frame burst at a rate of 10 frames per second, perfect for capturing action packed situations.

Advanced Technology

As is to be expected from a camera of this calibre, the Canon EOS-1D Mark III is a market leader, the sophisticated Canon technologies onboard combine to exceed the expectations of even the most demanding professional photographer.

Pristine handling and intuitive responses come courtesy of the unique Dual DIGIC III setup inside the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. The processors work in parallel, providing 14-bit processing and delivering unsurpassed performance with professional grade images. The DIGIC III reproduces colours as you see them, providing a staggering 16,384 possible tones per pixel.

The Canon EOS-1D Mark III incorporates Canon’s Integrated Cleaning System, a unique combination of technologies that prevents dust forming inside the camera and causing photographic imperfections. Part of the system is a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit that uses tiny movements to remove dust from the sensor every time the camera is switched on.

Image Control

Picture Style presets deliver a fully customisable way of achieving different colour characteristics, a lot like changing film in a traditional analog camera. Each preset lets you make your own adjustments to variables such as colour tone, saturation and contrast, allowing you to fine tune the Canon EOS-1D Mark III and achieve the results you need.

EOS-1D Camera Accessories

One of the main strengths of digital SLR photography is the extended creative possibilities provided by interchangeable lenses; a new lens transforms the camera into a whole new photographic tool. The Canon EOS-1D Mark III is compatible with all EF series lenses (EF-S series lenses are not compatible with the EOS-1D Mark III) and EX Series Speedlite flashes.
