FINE ART: LANDSCAPE

The EOS-1Ds Mark III is a

wonderful tool that has

made photography fun again

for me. It is light and rugged

with a very long battery life, all

very important features in my

backpack. It provides me with a

similar experience to shooting

with my 4 x 5 camera, without

the bulk, weight and dark cloth.

The menus and controls have

been re-arranged in a very user

friendly and intuitive manner.

Most importantly, the image

quality is superb with fine detail

and smooth continuous tones

apparent

throughout

the file.

Kudos!

Rugged Weather-Resistant Design

The ideal professional camera

is rugged yet not so massive

as to compromise usability.

The entire body of EOS-1Ds

Mark III, including its internal

chassis and mirror box, is

made of an advanced mag-

nesium alloy. In lesser cam-

eras, these parts are typically

made of composite materials. Exceptionally strong and

rigid, this alloy results in a camera that can truly withstand

the punishment routinely meted out by many professional

photographers. At the same time, it makes the camera

lighter for improved handling

and maneuverability.

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.

63-zone Metering System

A new 63-zone metering sensor combined with sophis-

ticated new metering algorithms delivers more precise

and stable exposure calculation over a wider range of

shooting situations. Both available-light and flash metering

performance have been improved. The metering sensor

zones optimally match the 19 primary AF points. Photo-

graphers can choose from among automated evaluative,

partial area (8.5% at the center), spot (2.4% at the center),

multi-spot, and center-weighted average metering modes.

A New Full-Frame Performance Standard

The new CMOS sensor developed by Canon for the EOS-1Ds

Mark III delivers approximately 21.1 effective megapixels

(5632 x 3750 pixels). It makes possible ultra-high-reso-

lution digital photography. No other DSLR can capture

images with as much detail or with such tonal precision.*

The large amount of image data recorded result in enhanced

large-output capabilities and unprecedented post-pro-

cessing flexibility.
