Simply Awesome!

Date: September 2, 2009

Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, quiet, Quick Start-up time, Solid Operation, easy to use, good battery life
Cons: low lcd resolution
After using the 1Ds Mark III for over a year, I'm still thoroughly amazed at its images! My clients really appreciate the large file size - and I appreciate getting this quality at the price - opposed to going medium format.
I also like the professional features of the menu system, mass (weight) for stability, and overall ergonomics. It's so easy to shoot this camera and a real joy too!
Battery life is AWESOME! For both the 1Ds M3 & 1D M3 bodies, I have a spare battery that I've never needed while on a shoot. I've had the battery last for three full days...amazing!
If Canon could get the cost down, I wouldn't hesitate to get another for other full-frame shooting as the build quality is miles above the 5D series bodies. Even after taking a 20-foot fall (in a roller case), the body still worked fine...as did all my glass.
I really couldn't find any cons except the price and low LCD Resolution. (And that's only because the newer bodies have much better LCD's.)

Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, quiet, Quick Start-up time, Solid Operation, good battery life, great files
Cons: Difficult to use, Heavy/Bulky, low resolution lcd
I have been using this camera since it first became available here in the USA. The quality of the images (files) is unlike any other DSLR I have ever used, I love this camera, this is the first digital camera that I have ever been satisfied with and that is saying a lot.

Amazing Camera
|
Date: August 9, 2009

Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, Solid Operation, easy to use, good battery life
I've been shooting with this camera for a little over a year and a half now.
It has NEVER let me down once.
I checked all the Pros but didn't check any Cons, mainly because I can't find any. I guess the only thing I would have loved if Canon had a silent shooting mode, where the shutter was completely silent.
But if I want that I'll use a blimp, but the settings are not as easy to get to if I do.
I also have the new 5D Mark II, it's a nice camera and the 21 mpx being the same might seem like a thorn in the flesh because it's less than half the cost, but let me say this....there IS a difference.
While the 5D is nice, it's not the 1ds Mark III. The build is no where near as solid for one, but my review is not for the 5D but for the 1ds Mark III
I love it and if something happened to it, I'd buy another over the 5D all day long.
In sporting events or any other type of shoot where you need to depend on your equipment this one has not let me down.
