05 Mar 2009Great camera, but not in the beginningI have owned the Mark III for a little over a year. Not long after receiving it, it quit. I sent it in for a "mirror magnet" problem. After I got it back I would get an Err99 almost daily. I documented it with Canon. It would happen most often when I turned it on for the first time. After several conversations with Canon, I sent it in and they replaced the mirror box. It has not had an Err 99 since then.
The camera was purchased as a "Blue Dot", meaning it had been fixed for the original...–W. A. Freeman Jr.from Amazon.com
03 Nov 2008It's phenomenal - except I didn't like the factory settingsThe first two weekends with this camera (I'm on my 5th weekend now) yielded garbage photos and I needed help from the 1D3 forum people at DPReview. Look up "1D3 can't focus on a bug's nose" for the discussion. I was shooting bugs and couldn't get clear sharp pictures. My other camera is a 5D which shot great closeups of bugs with my EF 300 F/2.8 and EF 500 F/4 (but with a very high focus failure rate).

28 Oct 2008Essential tool for a professional photographer. Purchased the Mark III in September 2007. Over one year later this camera still continues to amaze me! The controls are laid out perfectly and the camera feels like it's just the right size in my hands.
Others have complained about the price, but believe me, you get what you pay for!! I purchased this camera to take professional portraits, weddings special events. This camera was an upgrade from the Canon 20d and 30d cameras I previously owned.
Some of my favorite feature...–Alonzo D. Eubankfrom Amazon.com
"This camera fires bursts of more than 100 high-quality JPEGs at 10 frames per second. It also packs a super-fast 45-zone AF system, advanced noise reduction, ISOs up to 6400, and split-second response from every control enabled by two DIGIC III processors."
"The new body has many new features and improvements over the 1D Mark IIN - but none with as much potential to change remote photography as the Live View feature when combined with the WFT-E2 A WIFI transmitter that allows you to see through the camera's lens, change most exposure and camera settings from your laptop, and also critically focus any lens at 10X magnification anywhere on the image - not to mention of course fire the camera."
