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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

Before that I used 1Ds Mark II, 5D, 5D MII. Still, the camera is not new - its era is coming to an end, giving way to more recent models. Compared to the 5D Mark III, it has some drawbacks (except for the shutter life, 300,000 on one, versus 150,000 on the new brand) I consider it inappropriate to buy this model in 2022, because the price tags on them have not yet fallen much (for a used one, of course), and by adding a little money you can take a higher-class model from the store, although not from the 1D series. I used this device for about three months, as a result, the shortcomings overcame all its advantages, the camera was sold. For those who disagree with me - I'm based on the presented line of cameras in 2022. Once 1Ds Mark III was one of the leaders, but not now. If you are going to buy this model, then try to adequately evaluate the price tag. 90 thousand - the price of the new fifth mark as of the market in February 2022. At the moment I have a 1D Mark IV, for amateur reportage shooting for its price (used) Canon simply has no analogues. And I am extremely happy with the normal screen, it is the same as the 5D Mark II and high ISO, 1600-3200 is really WORKING, unlike 1Ds.

Pros
  • - Moisture protection - Ergonomics - Fast autofocus - Dual card slot - Good autoBB
Cons
  • - Noisy at high ISOs, inferior to 5D Mark II by a couple of stops - Terrible screen, 230,000 pixels. Can't rate the resulting image. - Like all units, it is quite heavy, in conjunction with zoom-elks it turns into a projectile from the gym
