Wow! Where to start… The
EOS-1D Mark III’s great new
autofocus system… its 14-bit
capture that gives me smoother
color gradations… its blazingly
fast speed… high-ISO images
that are almost totally devoid of
noise… the EOS Integrated
Cleaning System (not a single
speck of sensor dust in a week of
shooting out in the wild)… This
camera lets me
create images I
had never
before thought
possible.

Lighter, Stronger, All-Metal Camera Body
The entire body of the EOS-1D Mark III, including its
internal chassis and mirror box, is made of an advanced
magnesium alloy. Exceptionally strong and rigid, this
newly engineered body results in a camera that, even
though lighter, can truly withstand punishment.
Weather-Resistant Design
Extensive weatherproofing ensures superior reliability, even
when shooting in harsh environments. Rubber gaskets are
used at nearly every joint and seam—including around
the battery compartment cover, memory card door, and
flash shoe—to keep out moisture and dust.
Unprecedented Shutter Durability
The EOS-1D Mark III features an improved heavy-duty
shutter that has been durability tested to 300,000 cycles—
unsurpassed among SLR cameras (as of January 2008).
The EOS-1D Mark III provides the strength, durability
and reliability to give confidence even in the hardest
shooting conditions.
New Lithium-Ion Battery System
An entirely new lightweight, powerful lithium-ion recharge-
able battery system was developed for the EOS-1Ds Mark III
and EOS-1D Mark III. The LCD panel now provides an
accurate reading of power percentage remaining in 1%
increments, shots taken since last charge, and whether
the battery should be reconditioned.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Photographers who must change lenses
in dusty environments will find the advanced Canon EOS
Integrated Cleaning System a tremendous time saver. It
uses both mechanical and software methods to effectively
deal with dust accumulation on the imaging sensor. First,
dust that settles on the sensor surface is removed using
ultrasonic vibration. This
self-cleaning routine is
automatically activated
whenever the camera is
powered on or off. (It can
also be manually activated.)
A special adhesive collar
positioned around the sensor
collects any loosened dust. Second, by photographing a
plain white subject, the photographer can acquire data that
can later be used by Canon’s Digital Photo Professional
(DPP) 3.0 software to automatically erase dust spots.
