This is my favorite camera, give sharp, colorful and pleasant images, perform very ell, quick response, easy conrtols (subjetive if yore an Nikon or Sony user ;)) is not an action camera, i mean, if you search a camera for sports the new Canon EOS 1DX, Nikon D4s or the Canon EOS 1D Mark III are more...

Unbelievable image quality. Solid, rugged build. Weather-proofing everywhere. Ultra-fast autofocus. Overall, the camera is heavier than a 5D (duh) but it actually balances out things when you have a heavy long lens. Dust reduction is a nice new feature. Cannot select all focus points at once.

No dedicated WB button; no ISO 6400+; $8000 price tag

Canon 1 Ds III is definitely worth the money. I have other EOS series like 5Dii, 1D4, and also a crop 7D. The 1Dsiii is definitely a all PRO camera. Snap on any L Series prime lens on this body, you will take amazing photos.

It Just Keeps Looking Better I have used the Canon 1 Ds Mark III for seven months now, shooting over 6000 pictures in non-professional contexts; I have also been scanning 40 years of slides taken with then-state-or-the-art film cameras (most recently the Canon F-1), so I have lots of bases for

Intuitive and responsive; Small Lag Time

None

Almost the same menus as 1DIII, which I have used for some time and like. Requires more care as the detail of the image is so high. Just got back from a week in Death Valley for flowers, shots look wonderful. Colors are very good. Data size get large in a hurry, I download to my laptop everyday.

Best user interface; Good Battery Life; Great Resolution; Weather proof

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an awesome creation, and the first of its kind to make it past the 20mp mark. Beneath its rubberised magnesium alloy exterior beats not one, but two hearts: dual DIGIC III processors, which drive the performance of this incredible camera, and a 21.1mp full-frame sensor

a fantastic full frame camera, that is an incredible bargain

fantastic price for such quality images

ISO doesn't go very high- heavy and bulky

This is quite simply the best DSLR in the world. There are a host of settings available to make this camera "Your own". You need to take a while to set this camera up for your own particular needs, and after you have done that....away you go. It is like driving a Rolls Royce. Photos are razor sharp.

In my view Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III is the best Canon product, i ever had. The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III has never create any question in any mind that Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III produces the best quality images in the market.

In my view the main advantage is this product capture 5 pictures per second

But the pictures can't write to memory cards that fast
