2007 has already brought numerous new digital camera options to the consumer, especially in the digital point-and-shoot arena. But now Canon is due to update its professional line of EOS-1D digital SLRs with the release of the new Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Expected to retail for $3999 when it becomes available in April, the EOS-1D Mark III will feature a smaller 10.1MP, APS-H sized CMOS sensor with a capture burst rate of 10 frames per second. Canon has redesigned the 100% viewfinder, included is a 45-point AF system, a 3-inch LCD screen with Live View technology, and the Dual DIGIC III Image Processors work together to improve processing speed while increasing image quality. The body is lighter, but features enhanced weather sealing and shutter durability tested to 300,000 exposures. The camera is fully compatible with over 50 EF lenses and the wide range of available EOS system accessories. Like the Rebel XTi, the Mark III also utilizes a Dust Delete Data feature to digitally remove dust specs with the included software, Digital Photo Professional v3.0. Also included is a silent mode to minimize mirror noise, and a redesigned battery that’s 46% lighter and 40% smaller than the NP-3E cell used in previous 1D-series cameras. The 1D Mark III features a 100-3200 ISO range (expandable to ISO 50–6400), 1/8000 to 30sec. shutter speed range plus a bulb setting (1/300 X-sync speed with EOS Speedlites), 63-zone metering system, +/-3 EV compensation, and depth-of-field preview that is functional when using the live view.
