T
he 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 back-
pack. It provides me
with a similar experi-
ence to shooting with
my 4 x 5 camera,
without the bulk,
weight and dark cloth.
Most importantly, the
image quality is
superb, with fine detail
and smooth, continu-
ous 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 magnesium alloy. In lesser cameras,
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 true 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 63-zone metering sensor combined with sophisticated
metering algorithms delivers more precise and stable
exposure calculation over a wider range of shooting situ-
ations. Both available-light and flash metering performance
have been improved. The metering sensor zones optimally
match the 19 primary AF points. Photographers 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 Full-Frame Performance Standard
The 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, and the large amount of image
data recorded result in enhanced large-output capabilities
and effortless post-processing flexibility.
