@Dave & Jofill,

Thanks for the info. Actually I was so hell bent on reading, I forgot to post here. :-)

.

Amazing stuff! Looks like everything's going wireless now. And twin Digic Processors! Sounds more powerful than my current PC!

Although as drool worthy as they are, I was hoping for some other accessories/equipment targeted for the hobbyists (an update to the 220EX to compete with Nikon's SB400 perhaps...)

OOooh! Live view, fast continuous RAW shooting, dual digic III... sweet!

live view lcd! nice!

Here we go again!!!!!:) :) :) Yahoooooooo!

@Derick,

I think the 580EX II would be good for your setup so you can finally shoot in the rain WITH A FLASH!

"Dear God,


I know that Canon is the "top brand" in sales figures, but I do not understand why? They do have some really good sensor technology, but they lack in quality of out of camera quality, ergonomics, beta test on paying customers, and they have not had a single original idea of their own that they have implemented in years. Lord can you tell me why you let a company that just steels ideas from other companies, reverse engineers the products and releases it as their own prosper? Ok I guess this has to include Microsoft too, though their products are much easier to use, and a lot prettier. Please tell my why. ;-)"

Cheers,
Norman

LOL listen to john...:)

how much will these new toys cost??!! hayyyyyy(sigh) :)

I am very surpised that there is not much talk about this camera on this forum. I'm a Nikon shooter but I'm stoked! :)

The 1D Mark III is a pretty impressive engineering feat. Kudos to Canon!

If there's anything that would make me switch(and I have tons of Nikon gear), this maybe it.

Some of it's features that appeal to me:
- 10 MP, 10 FPS
- ISO 6400
- live preview
- User adjustable focus calibration with memory for each lens! (no more BF, FF issues!)
- 3" LCD
- 1/300 flash synch
- Built-in dust removal system
- Dedicated button for AF activation (Similar to Nikon)
- More cross-hatch AF sensors
- 14 bit processing
- silent mode (single shot)


It is even cheaper than a D2Xs to boot! :Shock:

Canon EOS-1D Mark III White paper (http://www.robgalbraith.com/public_files/Canon_EOS-1D_Mark_III_White_Paper.pdf)

...and to top it all, I think I remember one of the retailers in Hidalgo told me before that one can buy a lens adapter that would enable you to use a Nikon lens with a Canon body....:)

Well that sounds NICE!!!:) I will be waiting for that. At least this 2 giant companies are talking to each other (possible merger???...why not). Just wandering how would U call this camera. Maybe...."CanoNikon" Ha...ha...ha...:D Sorry guys...just day dreamin. Good day to all of :) you

I just saw on the white paper on page 24 that it also has a remote live view feature. You can actually see from your PC the image you're trying to capture before you even take the shot. Is that cool or what? :SunGlass:

A killer feature for macro and portraits!

One of the 1st reviews of the cam...

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E1DMK3/E1DMK3A.HTM

hehe call me a romantic but there's something about looking through the view finder that makes it "photography" to me and not just point and shooting :D

Otherwise its pretty cool!

Pretty cool stuff...

I like the feature which allows you to adjust AF accuracy yourself instead of having to send the unit in for calibration. It can memorize up to 20 different lenses for adjustment of front/back focus.

I also noticed that the SRP for this model was way lower than when the Mark IIn when it was introduced. I wonder what the street price would end up to?

Hmm.. FINALLY Dynamic ISO!

Dynamic ISO is like Auto-ISO in Nikon DSLRs.

Last time I asked you need a 5D or a 1D class camera and 2 L lenses. 2-3 years ago, they only required a 20d. Darn!

actually cris, if i'm not mistaken all you need is 2 bodies and 3 L lenses. ;)

i think 30D wouldnt count...for the body.:)

"Conclusion

In every area except autofocus, the preproduction Canon EOS-1D Mark III is the best full-featured SLR we've ever used, and its image quality is the best we've seen from a digital SLR in all ways except sheer resolution, where the EOS-1Ds Mark II is still the leader. If Canon can finish the job on autofocus, then the EOS-1D Mark III will be one of the most powerful cameras ever made. And if Canon follows up the EOS-1D Mark III with a full-frame EOS-1Ds Mark III that records photos of equivalent quality, only with 20+ million pixels in those photos, and it can shoot at perhaps 4-5 fps, then Canon may have an unbeatable duo of cameras for the pro digital SLR photographer. Right now, it all hinges on Canon getting the autofocus working before the EOS-1D Mark III ships.

Assuming that they do, then Nikon has their work cut out for them. It's obvious that among Canon's many design goals for the EOS-1D Mark III was a desire to catch up to or surpass Nikon in several areas where the D2-series of cameras was superior, including body weight, the battery system and camera configuration. Canon has done that, and so much more. Nikon still has a better wireless flash system, though Canon's flash tweaks in the Speedlite 580EX II, and the fact they have a usable wireless flash system themselves, means that Nikon's lead even in this area is probably not a big factor in the purchasing decisions of most photographers.

In short, if Canon ships an EOS-1D Mark III with proper autofocus, the competition at the pro end between the two companies will be over for the moment. Since we'd choose the image quality - and everything else about the EOS-1D Mark III - over the higher resolution D2Xs, and we won't be the only shooters to figure out that Canon is offering a superior product. Nikon's next pro digital SLR body is going to have to be a killer camera to keep up."

Reading this article really impresses on me the very, very, big gap in terms of features what this new camera can offer as compared to my humble 400D. The features of this new camera are just awesome, and would probably what most photographers, pro and hobbyist alike, can only dream of (for now). Although Canon is not the pioneer of most new technologies or features in the new camera, they certainly integrated and executed it very well. The minor hiccups with the pre-production model used for the review would most likely be fixed by the time it hits production.

The article said it right, this is a camera that will leave the competition working double time to keep up.
