Pros: Robustness; Workability File; quality 3200 ISO; in short: the fact of being a series 1.

Cons: Only the price at the time of purchase; in 2008 I paid her 8000 Euros.

Opinion: Fantastic device! A tank that, in addition to its robustness, still offers a quality and precision that make it a working tool not yet reached by many other so-called "Pro" devices! As for high ISO noise (depending on the type I use you) its files can be used to all sensitivities! Apart from a few types of sports photos (especially where you need a quick burst), it can be used for ALL sectors of professional work. If we really want to be picky, one thing to count in the "against would be the not really resolute display; once you get used to that of the 1DX Mark II, it becomes difficult to adapt to this. In short: if you find it at the price at which it is on average today (700/800 €) it is not to be missed!

Pros: Canon's best portrait file, an AF module that doesn't miss a beat and that, even with the sides, seamlessly hooks to TA in total backlight with the 85 1.2, total reliability, perfect construction, top ergonomics, double memory slot, battery life almost infinite.

Cons: It "stops" at 1,600 ISO (3,200 in H mode), the 230,000 pixels of the 3-inch display look infinitely few compared to today's but are more than enough to realize the image taken.

Opinion: My first machine body since 2015 (the current second is the 5d4). A wonderful machine, a typical body of the Canon Series 1, solid, reliable, tropicalized as only a Canon Series 1 can do, an AF system still excellent and that, even with the sides, quietly hooks to TA in total backlight with the 85 1.2. But it is the file that is the real plus of this machine, a file with "few" (21.1) but wonderful mpx, in portraiture I consider it, even today, unsurpassed, the best file of Canon. The feeling, the pleasure of having in your hands a Canon Series 1 with its unparalleled ergonomics, with the huge feeling of safety and reliability that it returns and this in both beauty shooting and travel reportage contexts is something incredible, something that needs to be tried. The two joysticks (for vertical and horizontal use) are perfect and allow a simple, fast and comfortable MAF point selection. The menu is typical of Canon simple and very easy access. The custom functions are organized into four categories and there are 57 functions, which allow you to really customize every aspect of the machine. The 1ds3 makes the best with fixed optics L Canon that keep that analog timbre that will give the rows of 1ds3 that yield and that paste that made it famous. The only one, true, is the is the is the isO limit: 1,600 (or 3,200 in H) limit it, it's a beautiful day. He accompanies me in beauty sessions and in my travel reports around the world and has never betrayed me, neither on the streets of Rome, nor under the water of Laos, nor in the cold of the Salar de Uyuni. Having the 1ds3 led me to choose to maintain, to this day, a reflex system as a primary system. When it comes out I will take the Canon EOS R5 (or the R6) but I will certainly keep the 1ds3 along with three of Canon's great prime lenses (50L, 85L and 135L).

Pros: I should make the list of all its features

Cons: The idea that he can abandon me.

Opinion: A jewel. I don't have any other terms to define it. Purchased used by a collector with 780 shots and conditions really equal to the new, I am literally shocked by the beauty of the file that produces this reflex. There is no con for me, even the display so unresolved is a pro, since it forces you not to control the shot but to observe and study only the histogram. You come home and your jaw falls: tastes are subjective and I realize, but the complexion and colors that comes out this sensor for me remain the absolute reference in the digital world (and believe me, machines and systems I have tried almost all of them). It has no frills, it has no exasperated automatisms, there is no ISO car (the rectification function can work up to a certain point), it does not have a live view that can be used with automatic autofocus, but produces magic at every click with good light. In low light conditions it is better not to use it, although the 1600 natives remain very enjoyable, but it is with low sensitivity that gives the best of itself, returning a feeling of "magic" to every shot that is really impossible to explain. For me, in portraiture, especially if accompanied by important lenses, it is still the absolute reference. I'm just afraid the day he's going to leave me, I know from now on that I'm going to be crazy to find another one. Believe me, if you love the classic Canon yield and want a reflex to be flanked maybe by the latest technological mirrorless, look for a 1dsmk3, put it under and enjoy it! There's nothing better.

Pros: All the pros of a flagship, spectacular colors, ergonomics, weight balance, strength, grain effect at high ISO similar to old films, no destructive "programming" for non-original batteries, currently with little expense you have all the accessories, many accessories not canon of high quality and low price gives emotions, pp not necessary, simple and immediate menus, fantastic even with old goals and in some cases even better. Huge battery life. Printed photos even more beautiful. Evergreen

Cons: Lacks endless modern functions (not always a counter), for night photos better to have a stand. Monitor that serves little (all the photos are good otherwise the recoveries in PP), is addictive

Opinion: Bought by pure chance, or better, on eBay winning the auction at a price much lower than the average because with many signs and deprives some accessories, but with 6 months warranty. I would have expected them to go down again before buying it, but luck would have it that I paid for what I had promised myself to spend. After the first uses I decided to buy flash, fc stand for large cameras, wifi accessory, Cf cards to also use the second slot, portable PC with which to connect, field monitor. He gave me and gives me emotions, concreteness. A car that makes beautiful photos and excites you does not follow the fashions, the mega iso are for others. This helps you not to make nonsense, to grow. I made night views, with a stand and an old lens considered "dark" and not L series, bought used at 87 euros, setting 100 iso f11 and 30 seconds, which left open-mouthed owners of 5d mk4 with L series lenses. the modern you are brought to raise the ISO while with this you have to learn and experiment, I do not love the PP and the files that come out are practically ready. Often not thereI change because they would lose the personality of their little flaws. But what's more boring than something that deprives your photos of part of those "defects" that are the characteristic of the photo, of your touch? How to have sex with a beautiful woman or with the woman you love, in the first case you have sex with a "photo" with the woman you love you have satisfaction that no one else can give you, you do not want to stop, unique feelings that also another love will give you differently.rnThe technical data? All fuffa! Try it, look what it produces, print and frame at 50X70. Crazy auto focus, if you do the comparisons between bodies with automatic systems say it is lower, but with you go on the safe side. Despite having the colors among the strengths, the B & N portraits with the high ISO are spectacular to make the "grain" Ilford way appear ... rnIf you have to take pictures from the internet it is much better. If when you shoot you are interested in a photo that somehow comes out, sharp and upset in PP, yesfind it better. If you are not looking for personality, there is a world waiting for you. If Caravaggio had been a photographer he would have had a Canon 1Ds Mk3.rnMulti they complain about the weight, mah ... Used for 4 hours in a row, a thousand shots are tired but pleasantly satisfied. Even others with the battery grip look like toys or almost. She is balanced, resistant, solid. Wait to see what comes out on video, no video will prepare you to the wonders of a good 70X50 print.rnHo bought a canon 22-55 barrel, 60 euros, they came out spectacular images, nobody believed this. For heaven's sake, it does not make videos, who cares! It does not have 50 Mpixels, better! Surely it is difficult to find the machine to be placed side by side. I'm curious to try the next series 1, the 5d mk4 I like but it is still too expensive. I look forward to the new flagship to buy a great 1dx less than 2000 euro.rnProblemi to high iso? The stand what is it for? Not that I can solve everything, but ... Then I'd like to know who the idiot turns offlights before taking a picture or who wants to take pictures in the dark?

Pros: Series 1, compared to modern cameras, makes an image that I have always sought in the photos, which I have not found in any other machine, this is a subjective opinion, the photograph of the rest has no rules, nor a standard, is and dev ' be something personal, like painting a painting, and this is now my favorite tool

Cons: Anything

Opinion: I had several cameras, of various brands, from nikon d 700 to Sony rx1 to canon 5 d mark lll. All exceptional. Sony is a razor, but that's not what I'm interested in telling in the picture, the sharpness is not everything, this machine makes everything more real and more nostalgic, and sometimes magical, something that I have not found in others.

Pros: Ergonomics, sensor quality, reliable AF and spectacular files

Cons: Iso, weight and function management are a little bit special

Opinion: I took this 1DS mk3 for the sake of a use with some years behind. I currently have a 5D mk2 and this 1DS. Series 1 has solved the 5D AF problem. This is spectacular. Virtually all the photos have the maf point where I want it and it's fast. Certainly it needs optics at the height of the body but the files that come out are spectacular. I use it mainly in the studio where it is giving me great satisfaction. I just have to be used to different function management. In the absence of the wheel, I always have to rumble on the various buttons to look for the required function ... but it's just a matter of practice..rn

Pros: It's a massive, indestructible series 1. Reliable machine that produces rare beauty files.

Cons: It does not hold the technological comparison with the latest machine bodies. Iso itd.

Opinion: It is a dated car body that lacks all the "agevolations" of modern reflexes. It is essential and therefore easy to use in various types of photography without getting lost between different menus and frets. The burst is not very fast so, as is well known, perhaps the least suitable kind is the sporty photo and the like. Moreover, it is a machine created for use in the studio. It's a room that requires precise choices about what you want to do. It needs bright and high-quality optics because it is unsurpassed (even with respect to the latest ones) for the image quality that, besides the more than satisfactory 21mpx definition, has a rare (almost analog) heat to be found in the sensors latest. This quality is lost exponentially by increasing the speed (ISO) of the sensor so it is always advisable to work with very low values ??(<800 ISO). This forces you to cuAll aspects of image production (optical quality, light, time / diaphragm ratio, etc.) are often rare, which often the rooms of recent times allow you to neglect thanks to the technology. Having also owned various 5d (mark II, mark III), I can say that the 1Ds mark III has a "charm" in the images (which is accentuated in print) unreachable. That's why I chose this body. The display is unresolved but allows you to have a good draft of focus, composition, and so on. And the end result can only be seen on screen and even more in print, as already mentioned. For the rest, it's a series 1. I do not really like cameras business and I think a good photo produced 10 years ago is still a good photo today as well. The 1Ds mkIII goes to and therefore reflects my workflow without rinsing the mouth of technicalities and false myths made by Megapixels, Iso stellar and ridiculous frame rates on the practical level.

Pros: Ergonomics that only the number 1 can give, armed, operating speed wagon, AF infallible, infinite battery, amazing sights, 21 megapixels of enjoyment.

Cons: Nobody! But ... It should be admitted that suffers high ISO.

Opinion: This reflex back in 2007 is still very attuale.rnL'ergonomia today is at the top, as you'd expect from a camera of this kind, is solid and robust build quality with an unparalleled! The AF is just a hair under 5D3 and 1Dx but remains exceptionally rapid and precise short, is a number 1! The fact remains that it is a beautiful day, in the sense that suffers high ISO that remain are usabilissimi to 1600 with a similpellicola grain that does not disturb but ... rnIo I found it as a new 1200 euro bought was never happier , accompanied by a good glass literally rocks! With a virtually ready files, try it, consigliatissima also in 2016!

Pros: World charm both the camera body and for the "prints"! Sturdiness, ergonomics, extraordinary autofocus even in low light, dynamic range, excellent battery life.

Cons: For a product to be "STUDIO" no!

Opinion: It should be noted first that comes mainly as a body to "study." RNLA 1ds Eos mark III, it is simply monstrous to the amount of pixels that captures; consequently the detail that it detects, and will let you do just about just about anything. rnNello still-life, food, fashion, architecture, there are those who pulled out the work otherwise executable only with medium format on the three-dimensional image that returns; some bodies from 24 or 36 MPs did not allow more current to achieve the same result! Test carried out on the field! RnMa while being dedicated to the study, one should not underestimate that allows gusts to 5 fps, then a real advantage that delivers the medium format, that can only fantasize about having a pro so relevant! Rnal comparison with medium format, I remember seeing on the network, the test with a Hasselblad H4D 50 MPs, in a still-life, that left me literally speechless! rnPer regards the "noise" at high ISO, especially in thefrom 1600, all of us, we should not forget that, with the film as early as the 800 ISO, the "grain", it was pretty obvious, but appreciated and often desired especially in black and white to appear more fascinating of ' final image, especially with magnification more spinti.rnLa Eos 1 Ds Mark III, returns without a doubt, at high ISO, not an image "dirty", but just with a grain "charming" of the past, typical of old films ! rnOggi you're used to flaunt feeling dizzy, type a few million as the new Nikon D5, but we should not underestimate that beauty typical of a portrait with good light, and perhaps with a bit of grit, especially in the "press" and not on the monitor, still gives emotions typical of true photography! If it comes to photography ovviamente.rnrnBuona light at all.

Pros: ergonomics, beauty and three dimensionality of the file, robustness, ease of use, auto focus.

Cons: iso above 1600, dated display.

Opinion: In my modest opinion: rnHo had this machine a lot of sauces, new, used and at the edge of the end (so to speak) all purchases, used and then offered for sale to try something more technologically advanced type 6D 5D3 o1dx .. today, I can say that having them all owned (models listed above) I say that I think this car has something that the new technology has lost with the new sensors, the naturalness of the file, the beauty of the colors and the ease of use, clearly, with all the limitations of the case from sealing at high ISO that for many it could be a major obstacle, but for me that in the end I almost never above 1600 is fantastic, the buffer that once taken a flurry (you so to speak) you have to stop to recover, the display that (despite being out in the year of the most glorious APSC entry level display sharper, she left this unworthy the display) in short, with all the limitations of the case, this machine remains in my opinion the best choice for those looking for quality andrafficca sacrificing accuracy, ISO, and advanced technology, and then you're devaluing lot will be because this lady in just over a year go out the 10 candeline.rn

Pros: spectacular image quality, up to 800 iso daresay unsurpassed for SLRs latest generation, or almost complete absence of digital artifacts, excellent range dinamica.rncorpo solid that transmits security, battery life, finally a bright viewfinder that does not have fluff or granules (see 5d mk2) rnpulsante shooting immediately. autofocus excellent rnrn

Cons: annoying noise at ISO 1600 on, the LCD screen just resolute

Opinion: after two years of 5d mk2, I am passed to 1ds3 after trying for a month to 5dmk3.rnho 1ds3 principalemte chosen for two reasons, prints (not the file monitor) to me have that which I was never able to 5mark2 get neither with nor with the 5mark3. Seem prints from film or diapositiva.Non know what can depend this, but I compared prints A3 of identical subjects (my son) made with the 5D3 and 1ds3 to 200iso and all those who saw the preferred ones sacttate with 1ds, think that video looked quite the opposite ... Unfortunately, this is true only up to 800iso ... I can say that in 1600, the 5d mk2 is no better while the 5D3 is another pianeta.rnl ' autofocus is more 'honest, even here the 5D3 is higher but not much while the d2 is much more' in basso.rnrnla worst thing about this machine is the LCD display, if not unnecessary use to navigate menus. also enlarging the picture just taken have not been able to understandif it was on fire as I wanted or no.rn

Pros: AF scolvongente! a just and real tank as robustness! Made more than 390 million clicks and still goes which is a beauty! Rn

Cons: And 'heavy, but my arms is not a problem and it is a pleasure to carry.

Opinion: Outstanding in all respects! TOP Canon until recently ago ... I did not think to get in 'symbiosis' so much with this reflex! RnCaduta many times, I took shots, water, cold ... always running at 100%! In short, Canon's engineers have done a great job creating this precious pearl that gives emotions shot after shot.

Pros: Autofocus, Color Management, Durability, Battery Life, Ease of handling.

Cons: Compared to modern full frame suffers at high ISO

Opinion: A machine that probably will not ever again give way, and the own for 2 years now and the files that are churning out something every lustful volta.rnChe are portraits, landscapes, macro ... every time the quality is surprisingly high! RnSe, like me, you do not need to take advantage of high ISO, this machine offers everything you need to have, at the highest level! rnSe I have to find a "limit" to be attached to the management of the high ISO, I must say that bothers me the emergence of numerous hot pixels in long exposures; taking off noise reduction for long exposures [thus having available immediately to view the photo at the end of the exposure] will arise many dots, annoying to delete post ... The modern full frame suffer less from this thing, probably for a refinement in the production process of the sensor, which leads him to generate less calore.rnrnPer the rest, as they all say, a tank! In every situation offers the ultimate!

Pros: Robusta, which is essential, safe, reliable. Actual colors, file malleable grain fascinating

Cons: Perhaps the lack of work AUTO ISO (but avoidable with the "rectification")

Opinion: Machine that must be seen with the knowledge of his age for some things ... but if you are unable to accept this is still a top of the range car that "new" hardly know how to overcome. I had practically all SLR cameras canon (including 1d 4 and 1DX) but I went back after seeing the fidelity of color and texture that makes this sensor .... really exciting. I do not want to say that the 1DX is a ciofeca, for charity, but in my opinion the files of modern sensors are sometimes too hard ... rnUna car that is approaching the threshold of € 1200 for a used one .... truly take.

Pros: A professional camera, autofocus infallible, perfect exposure, quality, vibrant colors and real ergonomics.

Cons: No one.

Opinion: To my humble opinion ... it's a perfect machine! I had so many canon ... but the most complete and balanced diet is the 1Ds Mark III. A car that makes seriously ... no frills, without too much technical wizardry, which looks to the substance, it makes you think! Then it depends on what you want from life ... one ... For me, the only machines that can satisfy my needs are the 1DS cameras and 5old, combined with some goals I convey feelings magical and poetic, intense colors and real, file full and hearty almost analogue machine. For the rest confirm the opinions that have preceded me.

Pros: AF, exposure, strength, malleable file

Cons: Weight, monitor poorly defined and difficult to read in bright light

Opinion: Avaevo the ds2, then I had the 5d mk2, now ds3 and 5d mk3. I must say that I find them in the files best ds3, in addition to this I consider it superior to the other for operation. Maybe a wire less than the 5D3 for af but let's talk about equipment at the top and the differnza you see in extreme cases.

Pros: Virtually everything. What it lacked the 1ds MKII finally found the solution. Perfect fire, live-view, transfer speed, ergonomics ...

Cons: None in particular .... at least so far!

Opinion: Possessor of a series of machines canon, I was always careful to level up without spending absurd. I started with a 400d, then a 5d old, before moving to the 5D MKII. This was my breakthrough, but as I began to suffer some defects autofocus 5dII now widely discussed. For the landscape and all the 'normal' situations are not really a huge problem, but for portraiture and shots fashion / glam they are right ... I decided to go to the 1ds MKII, but in fact I noticed the weight of years of this machine. Perfect, it is clear, a real monster of reliability, but four things have caused me a bit of suffering: really small screen to check the shot, lack of dust, software usage, lower resolution than the 5DII ... Moving from the 5dII 1DsII I suffered a lot these shortcomings! Now with the 1ds MKIII I finally found the compromise I was looking for .. uses the same type of software, easy and intuitive. I do not think of having to look over, in fact the momentum think I have everything I need for the type of shots that concern me.

Pros: strength, speed, weather sealing, infinite adjustments, battery life, large viewfinder, fast and accurate autofocus, shutter from 300,000 cycles

Cons: high max ISO 3200, wide screen and sufficiently sharp but not at the level of those today 's speed' of writing to a card after the bursts with raw is not very high

Opinion: use a series 1 by what they say 'always a pleasure that other series machines can not give less. The technology is making headway and 'obvious that a 5d Mk III, for example, provides better performance, especially at high ISO, but I personally do not snap much more than the 1600 ISO and do not particularly like small camera bodies, use a 5-series also has of battery grip does not give me 'the same feeling of full control that gives me a 1DS3 instead. The sealing and construction bulletproof do the rest. These are obviously feelings and personal considerations and this is not to say that a certain product is better than one dated more 'recently, I only say that using a comparison automobile does not count only the acceleration from 0 to 100 or the maximum speed, the pleasure Driving is also given by the cornering grip, shock absorbers and well-calibrated by a motor capable of making thousands of kilometers without the least failure.

Pros: nearly perfect, autofocus thrill in any situation, perfect colors, infinite in the settings, produces files almost perfect

Cons: Without a shadow of doubt the price does not help, however, to seek a defect has at least for the type of photos that I do (theater and concert halls) Istrian wins the clicking noise that is' in mode 'silent' always too loud.

Opinion: Hard to find defects in a machine so ', the flagship Canon in every sense, of course the price just above output, very high, and now' already 'more' affordable, but 'there' to say that they worth all the money it costs, then if you're lucky enough to find some model usato.Autofocus practically perfect in every condition lavoro.Con sensitivity 'up to 1,600 ISO file Sforna incredibili.Non lacks practically nothing, now that at least some would be in cars so' as well as having sensitivity 'high harm would be if the designers Canon began to develop sensors with sensitivity' of less than 50 Iso.Unico flaw that I have found, for the type of photos that I, too noisy when shooting concerts you 'feel too well in mode 'silenziosa.I files that are churning out the best we can' ask for a camera, recommended for those who do not have much time to devote to post-production, done enlargements of portraits in studio 1 m x1, 50m to 100iso and they are incredible .
