Rugged Weather-Resistant Design The ideal professional camera is rugged yet not so massive as to compromise usability. The entire body of EOS-1Ds Mark III, including its internal chassis and mirror box, is Magnesium alloy body and location of major water-resistant measures. made of an advanced magnesium alloy. In lesser cameras, these parts are typically made of composite materials. Exceptionally strong and rigid, this alloy results in a camera that can truly withstand the punishment routinely meted out by many professional photographers. At the same time, it makes the camera lighter for improved handling and maneuverability. Extensive weatherproofing ensures true reliability, even when shooting in harsh environments. Rubber gaskets are used at nearly every joint and seam - including around the battery compartment cover, memory card door and flash shoe - to keep out moisture and dust. 26 63-zone Metering System A 63-zone metering sensor combined with sophisticated metering algorithms delivers more precise and stable exposure calculation over a wider range of shooting situations. Both available-light and flash metering performance have been improved. The metering sensor zones optimally match the 19 primary AF points. Photographers can choose from among automated Evaluative, Partial area (8.5% at the center), Spot (2.4% at the center), Multi-Spot and Center-Weighted average metering modes. 26 A Full-Frame Performance Standard The CMOS sensor developed by Canon for the EOS-1Ds Mark III delivers approximately 21.1 effective Megapixels (5632 x 3750 pixels). It makes possible ultra-high-resolution digital photography, and the large amount of image data recorded result in enhanced large-output capabilities and effortless post-processing flexibility. 23 T" he EOS-1Ds Mark III is a wonderful tool that has made photography fun again for me. It is light and rugged, with a very long battery life, all very important features in my backpack. It provides me with a similar experience to shooting with my 4 x 5 camera, without the bulk, weight and dark cloth. Most importantly, the image quality is superb, with fine detail and smooth, continuous tones apparent throughout the file. Kudos!" Vincent Isola Explorer of Light 14
