Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Review

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark IIICNET has reviewed the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III a 21.1 megapixel full-frame digital SLR with 5 fps shooting, 45-point AF system and 3.0-inch LCD display with Live View.

They write; “The 1Ds Mark III can capture beautiful, amazingly detailed images. Colors are extremely accurate and, as mentioned above, the automatic white balance system does a great job of keeping color neutral across a wide range of lighting. One of the nicest things about the 1Ds Mark III is its low noise. You can make pleasing prints across the entire sensitivity range of this SLR, which is a liberating feeling when you’re out shooting. The Canon 1Ds Mark III isn’t for everyone. You really have to have a need for a lot of pixels to warrant buying one instead of the 1D Mark III, which offers very similar image quality, an extra stop of sensitivity, and double the burst speed for thousands fewer dollars. Ultimately, you have to ask if you’ve been disappointed in, or felt limited by, the 1Ds Mark II’s performance and image quality. Of course, the 1Ds Mark III’s larger screen, live view shooting, and beefed up AF and exposure systems also give a reason to step up, though these aren’t as big a motivation. Overall, I’d go for the upgrade, especially if it can be considered a business expense.”

Canon Powershot SD1100 IS Review

Canon SD1100 ISCNET have reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS an 8 megapixel point and shoot digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5 inch LCD.

They write: “Image quality from the SD1100 IS is quite nice for a camera of its class. Its automatic white balance does a good, but not perfect, job of neutralizing colors under a variety of light sources. It adds a bit of warmth to incandescent-lit shots and a touch of green to fluorescent, but does a great job in natural daylight. Given the success of the SD1000, I was surprised that Canon let the camera’s shot-to-shot time slide with the SD1100 IS. They make up for it a bit by adding optical image stabilization and keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor. Despite my whining, the SD1100 IS is still a very nice camera, and if you’re going to make a trade-off anywhere, I’d rather wait a bit longer between shots than sacrifice image quality or shutter lag. As long as you don’t mind the long flash recycle time, Canon’s SD1100 IS makes a great choice for a relatively inexpensive ultracompact camera.”

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Review

Canon EOS 1ds mark iiiShutterbug reviews the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III a 21.1 megapixel full-frame digital SLR with 5 fps shooting, 45-point AF system and 3.0-inch LCD display with Live View.

They write; “I really liked the 1Ds Mark III—what’s not to like about a 21-megapixel SLR?—but have nagging questions about reliability of any new premium D-SLR, especially one costing $8000. The $4499 1D Mark III has the same look and feel as the 1Ds Mark III and both cameras, for the first time in any Canon pro D-SLR’s history, offer simple, readable menus. For $8000 you can buy a 1D Mark III, two EOS 40Ds, and have enough cash for lots of memory cards. Why does a used 16-megapixel Hasselblad digital back cost more than a brand-new 21-megapixel 1Ds Mark III? Where’s the bargain now, medium format shooters? If maximum image quality is your main overriding question, then Canon’s EOS-1Ds Mark III is the answer.

They write; “The EOS 1Ds Mark III is a remarkable display of engineering prowess. Do you need a weatherproofed camera that is strong enough to drive nails while producing the world’s best image quality? If so, the 1Ds is a bargain. If not, the Canon EOS 5D is a better value.
