Pros: superb A/F if can find a good one ,they are getting long in the tooth now ,I have had many cameras from both Nikon and canon including 7d,7d2,80dX2, 1D4,and so far I am in my third 1d3 ,I just love them for wildlife
Cons: large and heavy if your small, ideal for big blokes like me .10mp is behind the pack these days but I defy anyone to tell me what camera I shoot with without the exif files .
Opinion: these are cameras that produce good workable files that have little noise at moderately high i.s.o values and any noise is easy to control as well ,the extremely fast A/F combined with 10fps shooting make wildlife and birds in flight easy ,especially with the ring of fire focus option .a bonus is these are still pro bodies and can now be purchased for half the price of a cheap dslr so are within the reach of even start up photographers .a u.k shop WEX even gives 12 months warranty on there used bodies .
I did have a mk4 for a few months but prefer the ease of use of the mk3 in all honesty there is very little difference .the menu system is also easier on the mk3 its very basic with no bits for video getting in the way its a photographers dream machine

Pros:Reliability, robust body, very fast autofocus, very nice files, colors and long battery use
Cons:Actually considering the birth date I would say nothing, maybe weight but it's a series 1
Opinion:Found used without even a slight scratch looks new, I tried it for five minutes and was immediately love at first glance, bought immediately at a very good price, now use it for about two months and make it rest even I think, gives me exciting shots To pamper and without almost retouching are ready to show friends etc. In conclusion the advice to those who want a good camera with little expense.
Pros:Autofocus, color and photo quality, pro body, burst
Cons:Choice of AF points, maximum ISO, megapixel, joystick lack horizontal side
Opinion:Purchased used in 2017 (instead of a 7d) I did not get well with the autofocus (great disappointment). After reading a little around I found that it was one of the models that are part of those with autofocus problem and object of recall from home Canon (recall ever made by the previous owner). Returned and resumed the 7d (excellent machine in my opinion). Today, February 2019, I was missing too and, resolute the 7d and a 5d MkII, I did not miss a new 1DMKIII found used on a good occasion despite the mega files of the 7d and the merits of the 5d Mk2, shot in hand the 1d MKIII , the others don't regret it at all. The 1d autofocus now does its duty and combined with the other strengths of the 1d mkiii (file, handling, colors, gust...), I'm sure this represents the right choice for those who, like me, "use" The Reflex a little ' for everything but "exploits" the Reflex and "fun" with the REFL Ex especially in the sports arena. After many camera bodies tested over time and once you understand your needs, you have to analyze well what you really need and what you can safely do without. In my case I did quietly without the files from 18 mpx, the video function, the resolution of the rear monitor, mega ISO etc. etc. In the face of excellent photos obtained already during shooting (without crop and without PP). Very satisfied of the choice. The naturalness of the colors and the sharpness and accuracy of the focus obtained without artifity or various filters but with a good lens (in my case Canon 70/200 F 2.8 first series) and a bit of familiarity, they make the photos baked by the 1d mkiii really satisfying. The only regret is not being able to shoot at 6400 ISO with a decent quality. This would make it a really good handyman even in 2019!
Opinion:It was said a little of everything about its characteristics. I like to dwell on the file that returns. I have had many machines, especially Nikon, and in the last two medium format, some files I got to see, each with its strengths and flaws. But the file that returns this "small" APS-H has something special, it gives you emotions when you go to see it again, and in photography for me the emotion is everything. And so forgive him some little flaw, which however I repeat, has a machine designed in the far 2007.
Opinion:Purchased in 2016 to be flanked by a 6d you have to make some considerations with respect to the historical period: it is a machine of 11 years ago (in 2018), the sensor is definitely passed with regard to resolution, dynamic range and sensitivity but has a color rendition Also beautiful in the room jpg. The noise is also very "analogue" and holds 1600 ISO with dignity. The 3200 are usable only if the light is abundant and you are looking for fast shutter speed. JPG's are of excellent quality as a general rendering, also for each format you can choose the compression level. Unfortunately the noise reduction in JPG is not adjustable and has a dated algorithm which can be limiting for pro use with direct sales. Raw almost "ready to use" especially with the latest Adobe profiles and however little manipulated for the reduced dynamic range. The AF relatively simple but very effective. High and customizable shutter speed in various modes, the shutter makes a beastly noise and there is no more silent shot to take into account during the ceremonies. AutoISO function is missing but given the reduced use range is not great lack. The light meter is always reliable and the viewfinder is large and bright, even more than some full frame although it is a small format. The APS-H format can be seen as a defect or a merit; It should be evaluated carefully because it does not have the crop effect of an APS-C and the post-shoot crop is limited by low resolution. The wide are slightly clipped and can not mount EF-S optics, so its ideal use is with normal, medium-tele and long tele to which you do not need to add crop. Sturdiness and Tropicalization are obviously from Series 1 as well as weight; The big battery lasts forever. From the rear display it is difficult to verify the actual focus for low resolution as well as white balance; Comes to help the viewfinder very accurate and a very reliable AWB. Conclusion: It has several competitors even in the used but at the current price is found little of this level, even with its cons. Attention to the choice of the used: the spare parts are low.
