The EOS-1D line has enjoyed massive popularity among the world's leading sports, reportage and wildlife photographers, with international wire agencies AFP, Getty and Reuters choosing Canon for their photographers. "The people at Canon are great to work with because they listen to photographers. It's their attention to detail and the pace of innovation that makes EOS the system of choice," explained Stephen Munday, Director of Operations - Editorial, Getty Images. Features 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor 10 fps, max. burst of 110 JPEGs Dual "DIGIC III" processors High precision wide area AF EOS Integrated Cleaning System ISO 100-3200 range (L:50 H:6400) 3.0" LCD with Live View mode Picture Style EF lens compatibility
The benchmark for high speed, high resolution professional photography. Powerful enough to capture a 110 frame burst at 10 frames per second. Built to withstand the toughest conditions. 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor - Canon's APS-H size (28.1 x 18.7 mm) CMOS sensor combines superb colour rendering with a wide dynamic range. Its inherent low-noise characteristics ensure smooth results at high sensitivities. A low pass filter and on-chip circuitry suppress moiré and remaining noise. The camera delivers 10 frames per second for a continuous burst of up to 110 Large JPEGs or 30 RAW images. Dual "DIGIC III" processors work in parallel to process images at 14 bits for a total reproduction range of 16,384 tones per pixel. These fast and efficient processors also drive the camera's shooting performance and near-instant response times. Start-up is just 0.2 milliseconds. Wide-area AF with 19 cross type points - A high precision AF system employs 19 cross type points with sensitivity up to f/2.8, spread out across the AF area to accommodate off-centre subjects. 26 AF assist points aid AF tracking for increased accuracy. EOS Integrated Cleaning System - Canon's built-in dust prevention and cleaning system works to keep the sensor clean. A combination of technologies reduces, repels and removes dust and includes a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit that shakes dust from the sensor with each power on. A wide 100 to 3200 ISO range as standard is expandable to L:50 and H:6400. The bright 3.0" TFT LCD provides pin-sharp definition for checking focus and composition, with 10x magnification for finer details. When shooting from awkward positions, Live View mode gives you the option of framing your image from the LCD. Picture Style presets provide easy control over image processing parameters. Each style offers a different colour response - similar to the way film types are changed to achieve different effects. Sharpness, contrast, colour tone and saturation are adjustable within each preset. Weather sealed, magnesium alloy body - A magnesium alloy body with dust and moisture resistant sealing protects the EOS-1D Mark III from harsh weather and the rigours of daily use. Shutter reliability is a durable 300,000 cycles. 
Canon today sets new standards for professional photography with the launch of the EOS-1D Mark III. Delivering 10 frames per second at 10.1 Megapixels for a maximum burst of 110 Large JPEG images (30 in RAW), the EOS-1D Mark III replaces the EOS-1D Mark II N as the world's fastest digital SLR. Dual "DIGIC III" processors drive the camera's high speed, high resolution performance, and bring 14-bit image processing to the EOS series for the first time.
A ground-up redesign introduces a host of new features and advancements to Canon's flagship EOS-1 series, including a 3.0" LCD with Live View mode, EOS Integrated Cleaning System, new auto focus system with 19 cross-type sensors, and 63-zone exposure metering. The camera's APS-H size (28.1 x 18.7 mm) CMOS sensor enables a wider 100-3200 ISO range as standard, expandable to L:50 and H:6400.
"The EOS-1D Mark III represents a complete reappraisal of everything Canon has learned over the past 20 years of EOS development," said Tsunemasa Ohara, Senior General Manager, Camera Development Center, Canon Inc. "In building this camera, we started with a blank canvas. Every facet of the photographic process has been refined, every design decision re-evaluated to bring us to this point: a camera that combines familiar EOS ergonomics with a vastly enhanced specification. Our engineers are overjoyed with the result." EOS system compatibility
The EOS-1D Mark III is compatible with all EF lenses (excl. EF-S lenses) and EX Series Speedlite flash units. Untethered shooting and image transfer are available with the optional Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2.
