Conclusion To The EOS-1Ds Mark III Review

I'm going to make this short and sweet. The final buy factor, which is the insanely-high price, is something you have to figure out yourself. Whether the 1Ds Mark III is worth that kind of hard cash is something only you know for sure.

In addition, the value we derive from it differs from one photographer to another. To a sports shooter, the cheaper 1D Mark III might fit the bill better. For someone doing mostly indoor shoots, the 5D might offer the best bang for the buck. In short, your requirements may decide if the 1Ds Mark III is even something you need.

 

Personal Note To Canon

Dear Canon enginners,

I would like a pizza ordering system with the next EOS-1 series if you must know. Preferably with Auto GPS or something because those pizza people never get my address right...

 

Pros : 

• Awesome resolution from the imaging sensor.
• Ungodly toughness! The Canon 1Ds Mark III's body must be made from Admantium! It is the perfect camera for the chronic camera abuser.
• Superb AF locks on targets faster than the Terminator ever could.
• Seriously good ergonomics makes camera feel right at home in my hand.
• All around attention to detail with superb build quality.
• Never wrote in detail about this, but the comprehensive custom functions are an extremely welcome addition.
 

Cons :

• Usual Canon controls and menu = freaking bad.
• Lacklustre user friendliness and comfort options.
• Where's the freaking auto-focus for Live View?
• What's with the SD card slot? Canon sure is out to make my life “easier”.
• Grrr... No Mirror Lockup Button! MUST KICK CANON ENGINEERS IN THEIR BALLS.
• A larger ISO range would have been nice.
