Do we really need the Mark III? July 16, 2007

I have to say that the Mark III for $1000 to $2000 more may not offer that much for the money. I have had the 1D Mark II N for a year and have truly enjoyed the flexibility of this PRO camera. To date, after 1000's of pics taken, I still have no sensor dust.
Other than the 1Ds Mark II and its 16 MP, this camera can to everything a pro or pro-amateur photographer will need.
It's truly a beauty and certainly fast enough to get any shot necessary.
 Quick and powerful but sensor dust is unfortunately there June 1, 2007

I bought the camera based on weather proof, speed and sturdiness reasons. I have no complaint on the speed and the autofocus capability. Even though the picture quality looks no different from 30d, I feel that the camera delivers much better auto-focus effect and the speed. In an ideal enviornment, you will not find the edge of 1d mark ii N. HOwever, 1d mark ii N shines when the low light, quick focus, good battery duarbility are required.
The thing bothers me about the camera is not the size and the weight. It is the sensor dust. Why will a weather proof camera collects dust no differently from 30d? After 1000 pictures, the senor dust showed up. I thought the sand, dust should be avoided since the camera is "weather proof" - against water, sand, dust. Why is there dust so pravellently accumulating? If there is no dust or the dust can be easily removed from the sensor, I will give it 5.

Shall I go over all the features? No need.
This camera will work anytime anywhere. It amazes me constantly. I'll be blunt. Any other camera (sorry) is garbage compared to the 1D.
From being at the zoo and having to take an unexpected photo which is possibly due to its lighting fast startup and focus, to being on a boat in the harbor of San Francisco in the pouring rain while others run and hide with their cameras, to grabbing a 400mm night shot in Vegas with exceptional clarity thanks to low noise at high ISO and image stabilization - the 1D destroys any other camera.

This what i discovered when i've used my brand new 1D markIIN
Well, I have to say that I am truly impressed with this camera. A friend of mine got his about a month ago, so I have played with it a little bit, but since I got mine on thursday, I have really gotten to explore the many features and performance differences beween this camera and the 20D that I upgraded from.
Having used a few original 1D cameras, a 1D mark II, the 20D with battery grip and a 5D, the size and weight of this camera really doesnt bother me (I have heard so many people complain about the size and weight before...) I actually really like the feel of the 1D mark II N. There is only a slight difference between the original 1D Mark II's feel and the N, but if you hold them side by side you notice it.
The autofocus is absolutely stunning. Having used a 20D for a year and a half, I had forgotten how nice it is to have those 45 highly sensitive autofocus points! As soon as you pick up this camera and hold that shutter button half way down, you realize why this is the #1 choice of many of the best photojournalists.
The body construction is the highest quality I have ever seen in a camera, but of course is very similar, if not identical to the other 1D series cameras. Compared to the 20D and 5D though, this thing just feels solid.
Another stunning feature is, of course, the speed at which the 1D Mark II N can capture images... 8.5 frames per second! Just as the 1D and 1D Mark II have done for the past few years, this camera holds its own to all other cameras in its class, with 22 frame raw bursts at 8.5 frames per second. I hardly ever shoot jpeg, but i did test it and found the 48 frame buffer to be quite impressive. Packing two 2 gig Sandisk Ultra II cards (a CF and an SD) I have the capacity for about 450 total shots.
The screen, of course, is fantastic, and blows any Nikon camera's menu and image review quality out of the water.
The 1.3x crop factor is certainly an improvement over the 20D's 1.6x, and the bigger sensor definitely yields better image quality in low light due to the lower signal-to-noise ratio. Overall, color reproduction, metering, exposure and sharpness are all much better than the 20D.
since i love wildlife photography I have been able to get 75% more caption information than I ever did with my pervious cameras
The camera performs great in the studio, and images are beautiful, as would be expected. I have yet to make any photographic prints from this camera, but I'm sure they will look stunning.

This camera is simply amazing! I started out with a Canon G2, and then a Canon G6, and then a Canon 20D, and now this Canon 1D Mark II N. I debated and researched for 3 months between the 1DS Mark II, 5D, and 30D. My decision was primarily narrowed down to the 5D and this 1D Mark II N. Yes, I wish this camera was a full-frame and also shared the 12.8 MP like the 5D, but you know what? It practically killed me trying to weigh the pros and cons and finally I made my decision to go with this one and I'm 110% glad that I did.
For me, this camera is definitely THE ONE to get because the 45 point Focusing, 8.5 fps, and the 1D Pro Body/Interface/Menu/Layout, etc is what really makes this camera worth it and the deciding factor. Trust me, if you don't know how seriously fast the 8.5 fps really is, you need to go out to your camera store and try it out before you decide. Because of this 8.5fps alone, I'm actually able to capture a lot of shots that I normally get lucky getting with my 20D. And with a 5D at 3fps, I just said forget it...No way. I'm not even a professional taking pictures for a living. This is just purely a fun hobby for me and stepping up from a 20D to this camera is out of this world. With the phenomenal auto focusing, additional metering, it's like I'm now playing with a Bentley (with the 1D MK2 N) coming from a Mercedes C230 Hatchback (The cheapest Mercedes that people buy just because it's a Mercedes name and they don't want to spend any more money on a real Mercedes). This camera and the photos truly almost help me take pictures like a pro.
Also, I don't shoot action pictures all the time, and I do love portrait photography, and landscapes and printing and blowing up large sized pictures. But even with the 1.3 crop factor, there is still a HUGE improved difference going from a 1.6 crop and you won't have vignetting problems with some lenses that you'll have on a 5D. With this 1D MK2 N, you can still take wonderful wedding photography, landscapes, etc. As much as I'd like to have 12.8MP like the 5D, 8MP is really all that we need these days unless you're going to blow up and print photos that are larger than 8X10's or around there. Unless you're printing extremely large posters and whatnot, you can pretty much do everything with this camera that the 5D can. The resolution and MP is definitely enough. Plus, it's also invaluable to know that you have the 8.5 fps available and ready to use if you need to and you can also tone it down and use a slower fps if you need to. The extra bonuses with this camera which I look at as a secondary positive, are the weather seals, pro-build high quality construction body, easy to use and navigate menu system, you can see the iso information in the viewfinder as well as the lcd screen at all times, dual memory card capability, you can shoot on 2 memory cards at the same time as one for backup or use 2 separate cards independently, built-in battery grip (you don't have to shell out extra for this), longer battery life than the other cameras, best customization and most options that you can set to your liking, more than the 5D or the 20D or 30D. I could go on and on but definitely get this camera if you can afford it. Otherwise, the 5D is also a great choice too if you need to save the money, and all you do is take landscape pictures all day long, or never will have a use for fast action or have a need to capture quick moments, and don't want the fast and most accurate focusing system that's great for ai servo.
