Canon has introduced its new EOS-1Ds Mark III digital SLR (DSLR) camera, a new top-tier professional DSLR camera expected to hit stores in November for $7,999, the same as its predecessor.
The camera features a 21.1-megapixel full-frame sensor, magnesium alloy body and five frame per second shooting speed (for bursts of up to 56 21-megapixel JPEGs or 12 raw images).
The camera features six recording formats like 21-megapixel “Large JPEG” or Raw format, 16.6 or 11.0-megapixel “medium” JPEG format, or 5.2-megapixel small JPEG or “sRAW” format.
The camera features two DIGIC III image engines, a 14-bit analog to digital (A/D) converter and support for the Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) compact flash memory card specification. The camera includes a 45-point autofocus system, a “Live View” shooting mode using the 3-inch LCD display and remote control support.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features an integrated cleaning system that vibrates to clear contaminants off the sensor; they’re trapped by adhesive surfaces surrounding the sensor unit housing. The camera also incorporates a software-based “Dust Delete” system that will enable photographers to get rid of dust specs in post-processing.
USB 2.0-based, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is Mac- and Windows-compatible.
