The EOS 1D Mark III features a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor; it can shoot 10 fps for 110 frames; has ISO levels up to 3200 and more; has a live 3" LCD that can magnify 5-10 times, achieves speedy throughput through dual "DIGIC III" processors and promises 50 percent less digital noise in shadow areas. This new top-of-the-line model also features a wireless file transmitter capable of GPS tagging and an original data security kit. All told, we believe Canon when they say the 1D Mark III is "the most advanced EOS Digital SLR ever." Also quoting Canon, "Photographers can expect a degree of performance and reliability exceeding any film camera they've ever used."

Consider the facts:
1. New 10.1 megapixel Canon CMOS sensor (APS-H size, 1.3x lens conversion factor), featuring the EOS integrated cleaning system
2. It is the world's fastest digital SLR, shooting up to 10 fps for up to 110 full-resolution JPEG images or 30 RAW images
3. New AF system has 19 user-selectable AF points, 26 additional "assist points" and provides superior low-light performance and faster operation
4. The new lighter body has enhanced weather resistance and outstanding reliability, and it features a shutter that's durability-tested to 300,000 exposures
5. Dual "DIGIC III" image processors works with new CMOS sensor to produce superb image quality and a new highlight tone priority option adds control of bright highlights.
6. A 3-inch LCD monitor features a "Live View" function.
7. It is compatible with over 50 EF lenses and a wide range of EOS accessories

And the details:
CMOS Sensor. 10.1 megapixel APS-H size CMOS sensor has an expanded sensitivity range of ISO 50­6400.* 14-bit conversion achieves fine gradation and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise. Generous 28.1 x 18.7mm image size captures every nuance of the scene, from highlight to shadow. Noise reduction method ensures high signal-to-noise ratio. The sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio is the same as in 35mm cameras, and the sensor's large size creates an effective angle of view that is just 1.3 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses.
*Standard output sensitivity. Recommended exposure index.

Capture Speed. With continuous shooting speed of approximately 10 fps for up to 110 shots, the EOS-1D Mark III is the world's fastest digital SLR. Bursts are first recorded to the camera¹s internal memory and then transferred to memory cards for storage. The number of shots remaining during a burst is displayed on the right side of the viewfinder.
Speedy shooting is achieved with a fast new 45-point AF system, sophisticated tracking and instant metering, no matter the setting.

Perfect Focus. Has 19 user-selectable AF points and 26 additional "assist points," and it provides superior low-light performance and faster operation.
The camera uses a 45-point high-density area AF system to provide not only the industry's largest continuous AF coverage area but also the greatest range of control over focusing point selection. The focusing point can be selected automatically by the camera or users can manually select the point.
A special processing unit is devoted solely to focusing fast, accurately and with the widest variety of conditions. It operates up to 3x faster and a full stop darker than on the EOS-1D Mark II N. The One-Shot AF mode is ideal for more static subjects and an AI Servo AF mode is excellent for moving subjects. Even with erratic or rapid subject movement, the photographer can shoot continuously, concentrating solely on image composition.

Stronger, Lighter and More Powerful. The new, lighter body is enhanced weather resistance and has outstanding reliability. In response to requests from professional users, the new EOS-1D Mark III is more rugged, yet lighter than its predecessor. It is built on a magnesium alloy shell, chassis and top panel, providing impressive strength without excessive weight. All controls and external cover seams are sealed from water and dust.
Other new features include an improved shutter, durability-tested to 300,000 exposures, powerful new metering, a new control interface that mirrors the design of other popular EOS Digital SLR cameras and a 100% coverage viewfinder with a larger pentaprism for higher magnification, plus a number of optional focusing screens.
With the new battery installed, the EOS-1D Mark III body is about 1/2 pound (approx. 225g) lighter than the EOS-1D Mark II N body.

Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors. Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the Dual "DIGIC III" chips are new and work with the sensor to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver the speed and power needed to combine 10 million pixels and 10 fps. Digital noise is significantly reduced in shadow areas, and color reproduction is superior.

Highlight Tone Priority. By expanding the range from the correct level (18% gray) to the maximum allowable highlight level, the gradation from the grays to the highlights becomes smoother and loss in highlight detail is minimized. This lets photographers get better detail in bright highlights, even in contrasty lighting conditions, which is beneficial for nearly any form of professional work.

"Picture Style" settings. The technology can recreate characteristics of favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. In addition to six preset Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome), users can create three additional settings style.

3-inch LCD monitor. This is the largest LCD monitor ever in an SLR with interchangeable lenses and it features a Live View option through which the photographer can compose and shoot directly from the LCD monitor. The Live View function enables the photographer to zoom in and navigate the composition at 5x or 10x normal size while enabling critical manual focus and more attention to detail. Users can also choose a grid overlay, perfect for architectural photography. In the studio or even on location, the Live View function can be used remotely, via a computer through the 1D Mark III¹s connection.

EF Lenses. Compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses, as well as various accessories.

Flash Photography. Features E-TTL II flash metering system which works with any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line. Has 63-zone Evaluative Metering Sensor which is used for flash metering, giving even finer metering command of the image area. Provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness.
