Aint' no way full frame = 28mm x 18.7mm - big typo from Amazon.com

It's full frame = 36mmx24mm.

It is the right aspect ratio though, but it throws up something interesting, if the number of pixels is scale up to a 36mmx24mm sensor... From 5636x3750 to 7220x4813, equal 34.75MP, amazingly matches up the film grain of silver halide photographic film!

I really can't wait to read the review of this thing. ]]>Aug 19th 2007 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Aug 22nd 2007 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/
Canon EOS 1D-MARK3 can do 10fps @10.1mp
Canon EOS 1DsMARK3 can do 5fps @21mp

Dual digic3 processors in both - speed demon indeed! ;-)

40D (same DIGIC 3 AF problems)
$8000 1Ds3 - same thing!!

Canon hopefully is not dumb enough to do enough QC testing before release!

Canon still has this problem

$8000 price tag isn't worth it if a beast like this can't properly focus!]]>Aug 19th 2007 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/
This is not to say that the older film people are "doing something wrong" just that perhaps it is something very subtle in how the camera reacts to button pressure, or its focus being a little too precise and unforgiving for those used to working with a medium that can't duplicate the image density of digital. When you can take a 12 megapixel headshot from 30 feet away and then zoom into the CRS file and look into the subjects pores is it fair to compare that level of detail to film. Of course there will be more focus issues with Digital because the image density is so much greater.

So my comment here is to say that perhaps it isn't the camera having a problem, that maybe the camera is doing exactly what we tell it to do, and that we just have to remember that the margin or error is so very small that some focus shift should be expected at 500% zoom. ]]>Aug 24th 2007 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Aug 19th 2007 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Aug 19th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Canon comes one step closer to matching image quality now, though their lenses will have to improve. Those 14 bits (over the previous 12) will do wonders when it comes to tonal gradation and improved dynamic range and ultimately making a better image.
$8000 has been the asking price of the previous generations so there shouldn't be any increase there. All other improvements (outside of frame rate) should mirror the 1DIII.]]>Aug 20th 2007 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/]]>Aug 19th 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Aug 19th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/Aug 19th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/

There's a camera for every application - but having FF 35mm with this body ensures Canon's domination in this segment. Sure, there may be a D3 - let it come. Wait, perhaps Sony doesn't want to give away their FF alpha sensor to Nikon - hmmm...could Sony try to get a chunk of this market with its own name brand?? Who will make sensors for Nikon? Oh, panasonic will!

And that's only for the body! You've got to buy another $5000 - $20,000 in lenses depending on what you want to shoot.

Sucks that DSLR's are so expensive. I'm sticking with my Olympus E-500. Might Upgrade to the E-P-1 when it comes out...or might wait. Don't feel comfortable walking around with $20,000 worth of photographic equipment.]]>Aug 19th 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/19/canons-21-1-megapixel-eos-1ds-mark-iii-thanks-amazon/
People interested in this camera will already have a previous model and no doubt, all the glass to go in front.

There will be some concern though with a 21.1MP full frame chip and the resolving power of the glass. I bet we may see a range of new lenses that can handle a chip of this size and resolution. There are already issues with edge to edge sharpness with the 1DS Mark II and some of the L series lenses (28-70mm L 2.8, 16-35mm L f2.8 (series 1) have these problems, don't like the possibilities of anything better without new lenses, which is going to give some pro boys the sh1ts as they may have to upgrade a few of their expensive pieces of glass.

The rumour of this camera and it being between somwhere between 19 & 22 MP has been afoot for a long time and this is going to put a significant dent in the Nikon D3X (or whatever they are going to call it) rumoured to be 19.7 MP replacment for the D2XS, thought to be announced before this. The war continues (and some would now say lost)

What it does mean though for your avergae Joe, that there will be alot of second hand 1DS, 1D Mark II N, 1DS Mark II entering the market at nice pricing :0) 1DS (11MP full frame) fanstastic camera and due to get cheaper very soon.
