Review on Camera Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Body, black by Stanislaw Golkowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

In short - an ideal camera with an excellent matrix and uncompromising photo quality. There were and are 5d, 5d2, 5d3, various crops. For comparison, take shots of black objects on it and at 5d3 with a normal exposure at ISO 3200. Then stretch out 2 stops and feel the difference in color and gray noise. 5d2 is not even close, they only have in common the number of pixels and the body painting technology and that's it! Yes, weak buffer. But he does not pretend to be a reportage, but the fact that he can more than enough for high-quality shooting, both in the studio and on the street. But if you take a photo in jpeg, he will cope with the report. Yes, he's big. But good optics are always big and heavy, the laws of physics cannot be deceived. Take a look at the new RF or Zeiss Otus mounts. Therefore, its dimensions match good optics. Yes, the autofocus sensitivity is -1Ev, but if you don’t take pictures of black cats in a black room, this is enough, for other cases there are flashes with IR illumination, coupled with which autofocus works like lightning. Yes, the painting technology after 5d and 1Ds2 was cheaper, for me, this is the only objective drawback. Yes, the maximum ISO is 3200, but it is absolutely working, even when pulling out color noise at a minimum. My opinion is that his low ratings at the present time are not entirely justified. All successful shots!

Pros
  • 1. Properties of the matrix in terms of color reproduction and white balance; 2. Convenient interface; 3. The largest viewfinder; 4. Batteries on 18650 cells, restored by a simple replacement of the assembly, which is enough for more than 1300 frames; 5. The minimum shutter lag, and the shutter itself is of a different level; 6. Dust and moisture protection; 7. Very convenient settings for yourself; 8. The last of the cameras, then came the movie cameras; 9. Good autofocus, if you understand its capabilities; 10. At ISO 100, it produces frames that even today are not inferior to top copies in terms of color reproduction and picture beauty.
Cons
  • 1. Weak paint coating, unlike the first five and 1ds2 2. You can scold the screen, but who knows how to take pictures and this is more than enough. 3. Weak buffer by today's standards. 4. It's hard to carry every day. 5. Max iso 3200; 6. Attracts attention.
