canon_1d3Canon 1D Mark III

Pros: Completely tropicalized, supersonic AF, incredible gust with mechanical shutter, RAW quality, colors, battery

Cons: ISO, Weight, Monitor, 10mpx, APSH sensor (not really a flaw, depends on the cases)

Opinion: I found this 1D MKIII very good and I wanted to buy it, especially for the excellent reviews I've read, despite the 10 years on the rump. What can I say ... when I got home (tested previously obviously), in addition to having one in the same condition as the new, I found myself a beast for the hands, complicated to use, but at the same time terribly professional. Totally manual, set parameter by parameter to make the most of it. The book will crumble due to the countless times it will need to be consulted! It is a bit of a return to the past; nowadays the cameras (Reflex, ML, Compatte) are mostly automatic, and this certainly leads to a less "deep" contact with the machine, which does not happen with this 1D mark III. Coming to the purely personal considerations I can say that it is especially suitable for two photographic genres: birdlife and sport. The burst is fast talking about mechanical shutter, but it is rare in other fields of photography. So my adviceit is: think well of the use you make of it! It's not for everyone, you might find yourself wanting to sell it after a few days! Otherwise you will love it! Regarding the positive points I can say that the AF is lightning fast, hooks in a fraction of a second, and keeps on fire very well. The quality of the RAW is excellent, and is easily workable; synonymous with a quality sensor. Just like the colors, clean, bright, faithful! Very beautiful! Infinite battery, I think it takes about 1200 shots at least full charge. Let's say that this is my first "pro", and the difference, despite many years have passed since the release is abysmal! Coming instead to the cons: certainly the weight, which on the one hand provides stability with supertele lenses, but on the other hand 1.5kg only car around is tiring after a while ... in short for me, also seen the advent of ML such a heavy weight is not a pro. Even the monitor is outrageous, for the time beingthere; you can not understand what is the actual quality of the image taken ... and it's something that bothers me. In short, it still has 10 years of life. Even on the high ISO I think it's too bad; now there are sensors that at ISO 25600 (see 5D mark IV) return very good images, which can be further improved in PP; with the 1D Mark III already at 3200 ISO the situation begins to be critical ... in short it is a big problem; at 6400 they are unusable. Sin; I would have hoped for relatively good files at 3200, but going over 1600 is a risk; unfortunately in this case the seniority of the sensor technology is felt. And finally, last sins ... mpx! Only 10 !! Ok, I'm the first not to be interested in mpx, as I do not print giant blowups, but if you roll a lot, and you do a print from A2 up the image is no longer of the highest quality. But I repeat, it depends on what and how you print. In conclusion, after a couple of months ofuse, I can say that, for 600-750 euros (depends on conditions-shots-years) it is worth the expense. Beyond I would say no; better to focus on something else.
