Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Just plain awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this used from someone who was saving up for the Mark IV. Got it in, and sent it off to Canon to get it serviced etc, Canon support got the machine back w/in 4 days and this was during the Christmas time period. Upgraded w/ Firmware not yet released, and replaced shutter mechanism. I do not have the focus issues others had expressed.
this camera is a computer in your hand as far as all the custom functions, you definately need to pick up a magic lantern or some other guide for this body. It's definately not for the faint at heart or people afraid to play with the menus on the back of the camera.. I've been shooting a ton of H.S basketball w/ this thing this winter, it has been a LOT of fun!..
Customer Review: Best sports camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally broke down and bought this camera from Calumet,although I almost got it from Amazon. i have been shooting football with this and after years of using the XXD cameras, 60, 10, 20 and 40, this is a see change for me. I'm still learning about the features, but coupled with my 300 f/4. IS, my photos look a lot better than with the 20D or 40D, and I have a lot more keepers too. I recommend to anyone buying this camera to get at least 8GB cards, also get an extra battery. I used the Mark 3 in a rain storm with no problems. I have not used the 40D for sports since I've had the Mark 3. I will be looking forward to buying a second one next year.Customer Review: Finally Perfect

When one reads the early reviews of this camera, they will be surprised to see the focusing problems experienced by a seeminly large number of photographers. Canon has come out with both hardware and firmware fixes to this body. I purchased a model with a serial number indicating manufacture after these fixes have been effected. I am having absolutely no issues with this camera's focusing in both focusing modes. I love this camera. It is truely a magnificient camera. For those of you who are serious about your photography, you won't be disappointed (except for the cost). Enjoy if its in your budget.Customer Review: Wonderful Camera body!

Definite FIVE STARS!!! I am a Canon girl all the way. I've had the S3 IS, the SD630, the SD900, the Rebel XTi, the Rebel XSi, and now the 1D Mark III. I can't believe the difference between the XSi and the 1D Mark III. From the overall feel of the body, to the shutter sound, to the quality of the photos. The dual processors make a huge difference. Combined with the extensive line of Canon lenses, this is a phenomenal camera. I am sold on the professional line, though the XSi will now become my back-up body for when I shoot weddings, etc.Customer Review: Perfect Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded from a 5D, 40D, 30D and the Mk III is the perfect camera. This camera is blazingly fast and gives me pictures that I just could not get with other cameras (e.g. shooting baseball I pretty much get "bat on ball" pics for every hitter). I shoot 6400 ISO a lot with basketball and the low noise is perfect and even much better than the 5D. I have had no issues with the AF with my "blue dot" Mk III. I think this is the perfect camera I will keep for decades to come.
