Review on Camera Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Body, black by Micha Sawecki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

95% of my professional needs are covered by the camera, moreover, when shooting interiors, clients compare the plasticity of the picture with 3D, and a couple of times photos from different owners were banned on ebay with the comment that these are not real photos, but 3D graphics, they had to be equally shown in the support service . What's wrong with the question from the photo? the owners, on the contrary, said that they were perfect and ebay did not believe that this was a photo. Draw conclusions whether the camera is outdated or still produces a reference image in direct hands.

Pros
  • The camera entered the market in 2022, as a reference one, the cost is about $10k, the designers have invested to the maximum, respectively, even taking into account the “obsolescence”, the camera allows a professional to earn quite comfortably. After three + years of hard work, the case and outwardly looks like new at 4 +++, with the same service life, rubber would peel off from Nikon (he worked with Nikon for 9 years), and with Sony all the paint from the case, look at what is sold on ebay in which condition. In the camera at the level of iron, everything is enough for me, everything is fine with overexposure and white in the bright sun, the dynamic range is excellent, with reduced contrast you can immediately shoot in jeeps, two raw sizes, two card slots, I shoot sports and cars at speed on test drives without problems at speeds over a hundred, everything is sharp . out of a thousand frames of misses, there can be 10 frames . you need to understand how autofocus sensors work, they are not the same as on modern cameras, but they are quite working and rarely fail . There were misses in focus, back focus was removed by adjustment on the camera. The picture pleases, of course, the in-camera software is behind and will not delay shooting in jpeg in low light, but when shooting in RAW, there are no special problems, because external software and modern processing algorithms do quite well, the detailing is decent, the files are larger than Nikon gave out, because they are more informationally rich and in general I like the drawing and plastic of the camera.
Cons
  • A small slow buffer would not indicate shortcomings, the camera initially supports flash drives no more than 32 gb and yes, with old flash drives it slows down freeing the buffer, when reporting, you may encounter a buffer overflow and wait . ! TREATED! On a modern fast flash drive 64+ gb, which cannot be formatted on the camera, we create folders on the computer copied from the old formatted one. Next, clean the modern flash drive not by formatting, but by deleting all the photos from the flash drive. Creating new folders from the camera will be supported…. With new modern flash drives for video, the buffer does not slow down, in a small frame up to 18 frames in a series of 6k per second it is quite comfortable, in a large frame during normal shooting it is not in a series without brakes. There is a threshold of illumination at which the camera “falls silent” does not give a picture, such as deep night darkness in the sky, but if there is at least a little light and the same night sky at least a light blue night, then the camera works out, equals stretch in modern software. It may not be ideal in nightlife, but in theaters in restaurants you can work at ISO 1600, 3200 is enough if you have stabilization in the telephoto and fast zooms, especially when working with flash.
