Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII Digital SLR Review

Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII Modes and features
As the direct upgraded model to the MkII, the aptly titled MkIII has the same size full frame sensor as its predecessor. Now, though, it stuffs 21.1Mp onto its surface and, to make full use of everyone of those pixels, has an image cleaning system which uses a similar sensor shaker as other manufacturers to keep that pesky dust off the chip.

Once the image has passed through the sensor, the massive amount of information has two third generation Digic processors to feed through and benefits from a higher 14-bit per channel A/D converter which gives better tonal transitions and more natural gradations.

Taking pictures is through the traditional optical viewfinder, although Live view is possible with the MkIII. This is done by enabling the live view in the menu system and pressing Set. Manual focus is the only focusing mode available in Live view mode. A thirds grid can be enabled on the screen at this time and a magnification of 10x to ensure sharpness on the 230,000 dot 3in LCD screen.

The AF has been improved upon. The same 45 point focus points have been employed, but the MkIII has 19 cross-type sensors for compatibility instead of the 7 cross-type sensors on the MkII.

Basic functions have been rearranged from the Canon EOS 1Ds MkII to make them more manageable for the user. For instance, the Drive had to be adjusted by holding down two buttons and thumbing a wheel at the same time. Now, it is amalgamated with the AF mode button with one wheel adjusting the AF and the other wheel adjusting the Drive.
