EOS Reborn. The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual DIGIC III Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.

Pros:	Build, great files up to ISO 1600, controls
Cons:	Weight, price, LCD

I bought this camera new late 2011. It was on special, so I got it very cheap. What can I say? The 1Ds3 is a well-built workhorse of a camera. It has great AF and produces excellent files up to ISO 1600, much better than my 5D2 (sold). I now also have a 6D which I love equally, for different reasons. The 6D has much better high ISO and is lighter. I have kept the 1Ds3 because it is a camera I can use in all sorts of weather, and it still has its advantages in terms of handling and controls. The LCD isn't as good as the new comers, but its battery life is phenomenal and it has 2 card slots. When the 5D3 and 1DX came out, I seriously considered selling the 1Ds3 and getting one of the new cameras, but after weighing up the benefits there was little incentive to change. I rated it 8, allowing for all the improvements in the current crop of cameras, but it could easily have been a 10 still.
