I have this unit since the spring of 2008,
Thus, the point of writing this column has, I almost a year since.
Well, if you are already a homeowner, you may have experienced a problem or two.
Unfortunately I was not the owner is a known problem and I had to return Canon ship for repair. I was not happy to pay for expensive FedEx Freight.
But rest assured, no other unpleasant problem occurred after a repair and the camera hashave been the workhorse of my photography.
Now, we want you on the review.
It is really wonderful 21,1 Megapixel camera, and it is worth the money.
But you have to decide whether you need to use a.
After publication, there were no other camera-full frame sensor with this resolution.
Of course, it has been since surpassed by the production of more … But I'm not going to compare.
For the professional user.
The important thing about this camerais the economy.
I own EOS 5D as well, and as a non-insiders or low-paid project, I tend to do, 5D instead 1DS MK3.
It is because the total cost of the operations are generally higher pay on the MK3 1DS, if not so well, there will be no point to him.
But if it pays well. There is sufficient justification for this system, you need to as much as you can.
And this system is really safe if you get used to soonerat.
One more comment,
Now I have several systems, including medium-format Hasselblad.
Medium Format Digital System is the system of quality at work in the environmental control of lighting. However, it is quite difficult to work with outside activity.
If you are studio photographer with the magazine or commercial customer, and makes occasional Shoot Out on this page, you should have both medium format and the camera.
If you are a professionalonly medium format camera and ask the full-size sensor, but without an urgent need to make no more than medium format.
People who use a digital medium has have a normal pressure on reason than the satisfaction of customer requirements, such a system.
And that is not truly versatile system, regardless of how to represent a medium-format camera and digital backs and tea manufacturing.
Canon 1DS MK 3 system is really versatile, and it will satisfy most design agency, PublisherRequirement or a photo agency, and the objective of the L-system are reasonable for the power price, if we look for the economy.
For semi pro or amateur High User
For semi-professionals. 1DS MK3 does not make the best economic argument if you can not shoot studio.
If you're a part-time photographer based mainly on events or photo journalism.
I will recommend 1DMK3 more 1DSMK3.
In addition, the effect of photo-journalist, now 5D MK2actually makes much more sense than 1DS MK3 due to their ability to HD.
And for the photo-journalist, is not such a good idea to make the system cumbersome.
But for amateur users, with lots of pocket
It is one of the best system to get a glimpse of what used to be a true professional.
And it does not cost as the price of the new BMW, and for lovers of financial resources, 7 to 8 Grand May not have much money.
1DS MK3 When I arrived there were severalAmateur photographer who taught me how to use this camera …
Is surprising, there are many quiet amateur owner, and with very limited instructions to the
You could create images of very good quality.
So, congratulations again for the Canon 1Ds Interface MK3.
It's actually easier 1DS first timer, the old MK2 1DS example.
Naturally inclined people who were familiar with the 1DS MK2 or older do not agree on this point.
Here is the list of the most importantAdvantage.
1. 21.1MP is asking more than the commercial transfer.
2. Color depth of 14 bits per channel is very useful for raw end of the work.
3. Cheap, the expensive system of medium-format compared, and still comparable to or sometimes higher when driving conditions are met.
4. Built like tank, and it may take a little rest abuse.
5. For users who are familiar with 20D ~ 50D, 5D MK1 ~ MK2, it is really easy to learnInterface.
6. Cleaning the dust is really useful.
7. + Canon EF lenses, the L-combinations is superior to another system known in the market from 2008-9
8. LiveView is useful to draw on the architectural and landscape products.
9. RAW file format is supported by the major commercial software.
10.CF slot and SD slot really helps. He did not think think of me until I'm out of the memory card on the spot and had to run to the local drug coveragestore. At least they do to save cost SD / SDHC at any drugstore chain, and it is much easier to the shops, the electronics store near you will find …
11. Battery life is very good, it will be easy to cover half-day events with nearly a thousand photos, tax RAW + JPEG shots.
12. With its weight and form factor, it is much easier to balance, with long and heavy lens.
13. When used with the lens L, it is a little expensive compared toBack in digital form.
14. Silent mode the shutter speed is very useful.
Here is the list of disadvantages.
1. It is a relatively new form factor for Canon, and chances are that you send them repair if you have the first production model.
2.There is something wrong with the design of the port cap wirelessly. It is relatively easy to lose, as he sometimes was used with a limited torque. I have some of them already … although IBearing half a dozen caps, after I lost my first cap.
3. It is heavy and bulky. So, sometimes it is not ideal for certain situations.
4. For Nikon D3X is slightly worse SNR for third-party software, a RAW software, shoot, compared to when certain style of journalism could suffer. If you shoot in the studio, the lighting should not be much of the show.
5. Many software development RAW is actually good for Nikon, this optimizedcould be due to the quantity of the release info for the Canon software developer third.
6. It is difficult to justify the price for many users.
7. But everyone says he can not replace a device in the digital format. Lens resolution and clarity of the images is not there yet. Of course it is when you look at the pictures side facing 1:1.
8. Silent mode the shutter is not the quiet compared to some of the quieter the appliance market. So,Applications such as jazz or close quarter shooting of classical music are still on the table.
Overall, I recommend this unit at WHO
If you are a photographer, weddings with tons of great expense structure drives, you should book. Otherwise EOS 5D makes today a very attractive choice.
If you are a commercial photographer with clients and will only invest in the Canon system, what do you expect?
If you're a fan with deep pockets, it is aCamera given to impress your teacher and your photography!
I will not recommend someone?
Trek photographers who need lighter weight gear or wildlife photographer needs fps faster should consider, with other Canon.
Any type of journalism should consider 1D MK3 first, whether you take tons of photos of the conversation.
Shooting hobby or art should really aim for the 5D mk2 before plunging financial 1DS MK3
IfYou think it is hard for you not understand. It's too hard for a few hours after the camera.
