35mm full frame digital cameras
35mm full-frame sensor digital cameras:
APS-H 1.3x crop:
Canon 1D Mark II (Jan 2004):
Canon 1D Mark IIN (late 2005):
as above but 22 RAW burst, 2.5“LCD, dual CF, SD slots allow separate RAW, jpeg recording;
shutter should do 200,000 cycles; optional wireless; $US3999 list;
Canon 1D Mark III (mid-2007):
1.3x crop sensor; 10mp; 10fps x 110 jpegs or 30 RAW; up to 6400ISO; 19 cross pt AF with 26 assist pts; 14bit; 3” LCD with live preview; sensor cleaner; 63 zone metering; 300,000 cycle shutter;
10fps only achievable at shutter speeds 1/500th sec or shorter.
buffer holds 48-54 jpegs (but only ~14 if NR on), and if fast CF card burst can reach 110 jpegs but much less if NR on.
live preview mode has no AF but reduces shutter noise in burst mode by about 60-70% to my ears.
10Mb RAW files; sRAW files for shooting with jpegs have 1/4 the resolution.
optional wireless allows shooting or live preview directly to
FTP or HTTP server or can shoot directly to an external USB drive from it
optional 3rd party GPS USB dongle to record GPS data.
one of the best for photojournalism & sports photography;
cons:
no inbuilt intervalometer;
no on-demand grids - must buy focussing screen;
said to be louder than the 1D Mark IIN.
AWB not as accurate as FujiS5Pro for artificial lighting;
battery charger very large;
annoying sensor cleaning animation;
some top LCD's are too dim;
issues with SDHC speed - seems best to use 2Gb Extreme III SD cards rather than the 4Gb ones.
inability to use the AF-ON button to access a home AF point
inability to use the multi-controller for direct (other than registered) AF access
RRP $US4999 or $A6400
