Canon EOS-1D Mark III

Canon EOS-1D Mark III


Gusts to 10 frames per second (fps) for 110 shots, 10 megapixel sensor, dual-processor!On the image, 3-inch LCD screen.That’s mouth-watering in listing only the main features of this gem!

SENSOR AND PROCESSOR
The sensor, CMOS invariably now, strangely enough, is larger “full-frame”, but stops 28x18mm, with a multiplication factor of 1.3 xUndoubtedly it is a sensor of high quality that provides an excellent signal / noise ratio, the rest of the megapixels are relatively few, but has some producers have decided to stop the rampant and somewhat mindless monstrous increase in the number ofpixels, to focus on the quality of the individual pixels.We must not forget the very considerable problems that create too big files.Develop a Raw in Photoshop 22-megapixel resolution is not really within the reach of every PC.The processing times are longer, and dramatically, however, is also difficult to store.In short, the fact that this camera is “still” to 10 megs, I see it as an advantage (as I have explained the advantages of having a few pixels but good, In my opin on the Nikon D3).The sensitivity is very extensive, ranging from ISO 50 to 6400.All right.
The processor, or rather the two processors!, Working simultaneously, allowing considerable speed processing of images.The color depth is 14 bits, excellent.The ignition timing and readiness to shoot are monstrous: it is ready to shoot in 0.2 milliseconds after ignition, a record.But where the presence of the dual sensor is felt most is in the burst: it reaches the extraordinary rate of 10 frames per second, up to a maximum of 30 100scatti format JPEG and RAW format.
The anti-dust system is another feature that is increasingly gaining ground on digital SLR cameras and this camera is no exception.This is a filter that vibrates in front of the sensor to shake the dust that is deposited.This choice goes in one direction a little disturbing to me.Professionals, you know, we put very little to clean a sensor from dust, have their systems (some are even marketed to the general public).Now, dust to enter the system to avoid having to clean them by hand, insert the focuser LiveView to avoid them by hand, and by dint of avoiding them to work … so we explained!
Screen 3 “LCD with Live View mode
The screen is a beautiful 3-inch LCD that enables magnification up to 10x.
As has become practice, however, also emerge in the professional features previously reserved for other public, such as Live View mode which allows the monitor to observe the scene and framed photos on the effects of various settings.No coincidence that this camera has a screen so big and high resolution (those features, of course, also make it easier to review images in playback and navigate through the menus).
With this system you can then evaluate real-time exposure and focus, as well as the depth of field (ie how much of the frame you are going to create will focus), and you can enlarge the picture for a massfire-proof billboard!.To control the depth of field simply flipping the appropriate button, and can really serve to test various effects of blur, something unthinkable only a few months ago.
Unlike the Nikon D3 in Live View mode you can not use the autofocus really a “slip” of the Canon, in my opinion, because the autofocus on the LiveView is really a treat (even if the audience targeted by the camera, professionals, not having the greatest need autofocus …).
CAR BODY
The camera body is magnesium alloy, is chock full of rubber (the engineers say “tropical conditions”, I say that is not afraid of water and dust!), And can therefore be used, just like the pros do, in conditionsUnfavourable as on board a boat with a heavy sea, during a rain storm in the desert full of sand!.
Shutter durability is guaranteed for 300,000 shots, another feature that is critical to a professional.
BATTERY
The new lithium-ion battery LP-E4 well-known 2300 mAh, and according to the state house, provides a range of 2200 shots.
The residual life of the charge can be controlled via the camera menu, and is fairly accurate.

Autofocus
The AF has been criticized by many photographers, who complain of problems with moving subjects (just this camera being “fast” should be appointed to nature and sports photos?? Grave!).
The area auto focus is extensive and includes 19 cross.I think it’s really a reliable, has sensitivity at f / 2.8 and has 26 additional Assist AF points (not selectable manually, though) that allow for excellent tracking AF system.Sophisticated solutions, which will be in crisis if they come for rugged use, making it certain photographers (who have every right to complain, given how much they spend for this gem).

Conclusions
Conclusion
I honestly do not think is worth the expense, however, not being a professional I could be wrong big time!
