| This is just incredible, I can only imagine what cameras will be like in another 5-10 years. |

300,000 shutter clicks... wow! Also, a new 580 ExII - weather resistance when mounted on the MkIII.

Are we all sports photogs on this thread? I fully realize it's a nice camera, but it doesn't speak to me personally. I just don't shoot those kind of subjects.
The 16-35mm lens will be interesting since the first one was pretty good already.

I guess I don't know why you'd have to be a sports photographer. There are many things about the 1D series that I like.. the weather sealing, the prism viewfinder, AF-points...
It's not like most of us would run out and buy it even if we had the money. |

The EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Another first for a professional digital SLR of this caliber is a complete dust management solution, called the EOS Integrated Cleaning System. The new CMOS image sensor is designed with a lightweight infrared absorption glass cover that vibrates for 3.5 seconds when the camera is turned on or off. This brief delay can be cancelled immediately upon startup if desired, simply by pressing the shutter button. In fact, the sensor is sealed around its edges to help keep dust out. The shutter, newly upgraded to 300,000 cycle durability, generates less dust; it fires three times during the process so dust is shaken off the shutter curtains, too. This cleaning system uses very little battery power and can also be turned off in the custom function menu, if the user chooses to do so. The second part of the anti-dust system is a software solution that records the location of any spots that may remain on the sensor as Dust Delete Data and this information is appended to the image file. In the Digital Photo Professional 3.0 software application included with the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR, the spots are erased automatically. |

i guess it's the sports/pj shooter in me that makes me want it ;-)

Looking through your lcd screen instead of your viewfinder I guess :)

I gues your not drooliong over the LIVE VIEW LCD? |
I'm not. I prefer a good OVF to any EVF or LCD. |
Same here. Not a fan of Live View. |

My old Fuji 1.3mp camera had live-view about 7 years ago
:-)
Nice spec'd camera though, biggest selling point for me are the 19 cross-point style AF points and HUGE screen.
Someone mentioned that full-frame wouldn't be fast enough, with twin digic III on-board I daresay this camera could of coped with full-frame quite well. But we will see in the Autumn when they release the 1Ds MkIII.

I'm a fan of Live View. It actually is more useful on a SLR than itsy bitsy pocketcam.

10fps is by far the most impressive aspect of this camera - it probably means no perceivable black out time when taking photos.
I am a bit irritated by the new 16-35 II (appears to have a different filter diameter to the current model - 82mm) and 580EXII - means a drop in resale value for my kit...!

There's one reason I like it, and it's the one advantage that P&S cameras have over DSLR... visual composition of infrared photos via the LCD. You don't have to shoot and recompose dozens of times. |

How much time will it take to the prices of the now "old" cameras at stores like B&H get lower?

Now i have new hobby, which is to collect Canon product, i will forget photography and just keep to buy new product every 3 months.
This camera will be added with 300 f2.8L IS within 2 months or 3 months later. |

OK now I am ready to start saving money this year for another camera body. Although I dont think that liveview is something I'd use on assignment but I certainly would for those unique shots with wide angle so I dont have to lay on my belly to see through the viewfinder. a couple of MP and 10FPS is also a nice addition. Cleaning a sensor isnt that big a deal, but antidust is something thats nice as long as it works and doesnt have issues.
I'm definately excited to see a new model come out. If nothing more then to drive more 1DMKII and 1DMKIIn to the used market where I can pick another one up!

Well, it's not a sviwel screen, so you're still limited for what concerns angles. The advantage lies in the distance from your face. |

Getting an L-finder would be a better solution then. |

I wouldnt want a swivel screen just the ability to have the camera down on the ground and not having my chin stuck in the pavement to get the composition I want. I know generally will freehand the composition and move the camera around a bit and fire off some bursts. I wouldnt have to be doing that if I could catch a glimpse in the liveview. I dont see it as very useful in Sports photography as I dont think the refresh rate could keep up with sports action.
