Features
More Pixels, CleanerThe EOS-1D Mark III features an all-new Canon 10.1 megapixel APS-H size CMOS sensor with an expanded sensitivity range of ISO 50–6400.* 14-bit A/D conversion means fine gradation and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise.

Self-Cleaning Sensor UnitTo combat against stray dust that enters the camera and adheres to the image sensor during a lens change, the 1D Mark III features a Canon-designed Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit.

Dust Delete Data DetectionDust that has been missed by the Integrated Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.0. The 1D Mark III’s imaging sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface, then plots out their location coordinates within the image.

Speed to Capture AnythingWorld's fastest digital SLR: shooting up to 10 fps, with a burst rate up to 110 full-resolution JPEG images or 30 RAW images

Perfect Focus in An InstantAll new high-precision AF system with 19 user-selectable AF points and 26 additional "assist points"; superior low-light performance and faster operation

Stronger, Lighter and PowerfulNew lighter body with enhanced weather resistance and outstanding reliability: featuring a shutter that's durability-tested to 300,000 exposures

Dual "DIGIC III" Image ProcessorDeveloped to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS-1D Mark III’s Dual "DIGIC III" chips give the camera two of Canon’s newest processing units, working in parallel, to dramatically enhance image quality

Highlight Tone Priority By expanding the range from the correct level (18% gray) to the maximum allowable highlight level, the gradation from the grays to the highlights becomes smoother and loss in highlight detail is minimized.

"Picture Style" settings With Picture Style technology and the 1D Mark III, photographers can recreate characteristics of their favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image.

EF Lenses EOS-1D Mark III is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses.

Flash Photography The EOS-1D Mark III features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness.

Wireless File Transmitter-E2ACanon’s second-generation Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A incorporates a number of significant new features into a robust, camera-powered system to make wireless transfer faster, simpler and less cumbersome than ever.
