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: Canon colors; price of used car (March 2021); M.a F; burst; infinite battery; the fact that it's a series 1.

Cons: In view of what we have in our hands, I see very few of them. I can't consider "cons," characteristics from 14 years ago. His still does it very well today.

Opinion: I worked on football fields and in serie A arenas and also in theaters for dance essays for years. It has always allowed me to perform PRO work at the highest levels. Then came the 1DX (I and II) that brought with them those improvements necessary to always be able to offer the top of the work even in those situations until then critical. Just two days ago I bought from RCE Padova a body with only 1000 shots and in showcase conditions. (When I say "showcase", I mean that in my opinion that body was purchased and NEVER extracted from the box). His price (only 340€) on the first one made me suspicious and made me ask the question of where the jam was. Then, being RCE that I know well and that I trust blindly, I decided to take it, if only to look at it and re-overshadow the good times of work on the sidelines with boisterous colleagues. I naturally tried the camera to check its status and was almost moved. FOR FET TA! I would still use it on the football pitch today; not really in a building. His last usable ISOs are the 1600, as long as he doesn't crop too much. But for portrait work in the studio; for architecture, as long as you have at least 14 mm; for a thousand other jobs where it is not necessary to push on the accelerator of sensitivity, this quality monster can still give immense satisfaction today!

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!

Pros: Beautiful files.

Cons: Considering when it was design, few.

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.
