CANON'S FLAGSHIP DSLR PACKS A PUNCH WITH ITS RESOLUTION AND ERGONOMICS F4490 BODY ONLY 21 MP FULL FRAME SENSOR. LIVE VIEW. DUST CONTROL

At around f4,490 the EOS 1DS Mark III is out of reach for most consumers, but nevertheless people are always interested in the top-end desirable but unaffordable gear. Affer all,what comes from the top eventually filters to the bottom into the enthusiast and entry leve offerings. This is a big camera with a big feature set. The magnesium alloy body alone weighs 1,210g without a lens and and battery. Whithin the body lies a pair of DIGIC III processors, required to transform the large files that are generated by the hefty 36 x 24mm ful-frame sensor. That sensor is a CMOS type with 21.1 million effective pixels, and features built-in dust reduction courtesy of the EOS integrated Cleaning Sytem. With a frame rate of 5fps it's not the fastest, but it's still fast and doubling the processing power at least keeps the camera's sped at a working level. As a professional camera, there are no scene modes, but within the menu are Canon's Picture Styles that are standerd on all current EOS models. As for the camera's focus system of the MK II, but now includes 19 cross-type points instead of the seven on the older model. Similarly the new model has an improved metering system upping the evaluative stakes with 45 zones, over the previous 21 all of which are linked to the AF system. Finally, Canon has added live view to the 3in monitor. Disappointingly, this feature works only in manual focus mode, though a 10x zoom view is availble fo critical focus checks. The viewfinder matches the size of the sensor, noticeably larger than that of an APS-C type DSLR, and is bright and clean with a clear green LED readout and red projected LED AF points. The AF points Can be selected LED AF points. The AF points can be selected individually using the front command dial and the AF is both quick and quiet. The shutter release button is responsive, too, and though the monitor is a useful size, its resolution and clarity really fail to match that of the ultra-high resolution of models from Nikon and Sony. What is impressive, though, is that large files can pass through the system so quickly, thanks to the dual processor inside the camera. With a SAnDisk Extreme III card, For instance, a sustained burst of 60 jPEGs may be captured. VERDICT: Canon has certainly done it again with the 1DS MK III, nd I expect that studios across the globe will be ordering them as a matter of course, just for the hing resolution. In use this DSLR is a workhorse, and what it lacks in grace and beauty is made up fo with its strength and results - and body what results
