The 21 Megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Digital SLR Camera - Simply Awesome

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III digital SLR raises the standards of digital photography much further with a full frame 21 Megapixel sensor, Dual DIGIC III processing and rugged design.

EOS-1Ds Features

The standout feature of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is its full frame Canon CMOS sensor. It delivers an impressive 21 Megapixels of stunning detail, far beyond the professional requirements of much of the photographic industry. 14-bit image processing and a broad dynamic range provide enhanced colour depth and greater tonal sensitivities.

Review your captured images on the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III’s luminous 3.0″ LCD screen. Live View mode enables you to compose shoots via the LCD while 10x magnification allows you to zoom in on your shots for closer inspection of important details.

The highly advanced auto focus system onboard the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III uses 19 points across the frame to the ensure fast, accurate focusing of off-centre subjects.

Protective seals on the magnesium alloy body of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III protect the camera and its contents from environmental factors such as moisture and dust.

Record the action with continuous bursts of 56 JPEG images at a frame rate of 5 per second, perfect for capturing that all-important moment.

Advanced Canon Technology

Dual DIGIC III processors are at the heart of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. Working in parallel, these small super-computers power the camera’s fast responses and exceptional photographic performance.

Canon’s Integrated Cleaning System provides an effective in-built solution to preventing dust build-up inside the body of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. Dust particles can stick to a camera’s sensor causing visible artifacts to appear on captured images. The Integrated Cleaning System combats this problem by utilising a combination of three unique technologies:

  1. special materials inside the body minimise dust formation
  2. at each power-up a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit users micro-vibrations to dislodge any stubborn dust from the surface of the sensor
  3. the location of any dust particles still present on the sensor is recorded and sent to Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software for easy removal

Image Control

Similar to changing film in an analog camera, Picture Style presets offer a range of differing colour characteristics, each with there own subtle idiosyncratic qualities. The presets can be easily customised to help you achieve the visual feel to suit your needs.

EOS-1Ds Camera Accessories

Compatibility with Canon’s range of EF series lenses and EX Series Speedlite flashguns makes the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III the complete professional photographic solution (the EOS-1Ds Mark III is not compatible with EF-S series lenses).
