Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera Review
October 8th, 2009
Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera Review from Todd in Upstate NY. Great camera, but not in the beginning, In the last 3 years I have gone from 2 different point and shot cameras to the Canon 30D to the Canon Mark III. With each camera, I was telling myself – this should do it for some time. I read and learned as much as I could with each camera. When I got the 30D I was on cloud 9 – this was great – it would be nice to shoot faster though. When I heard about the Mark III coming out, I knew that was hopefully the last stepping stone I would require for sometime.
This thing rocked – couldn’t believe how fast it could shot. I was surprised at how many shots were out of focus though (birding). I didn’t experience anything like this on the 30D. I read about the AI focus problems and thought – well this is what is happening to me. For the next 5 months Canon stone walled me on a weekly basis. Promised firmware fixes, this fix that fix, reps telling me off.
I wrote a letter to Yoroku Adachi (President of Canon U.S.A.) and got a call back from one of his people. Very apologetic but same old please be patient and apologies galore – but still we won’t replace it with a functioning camera – it is a minor issue (again I was told that by numerous reps) – I say it is only minor if you don’t use those features.
