Canon EOS 1Ds ... on the same digital camera body, and share many features and a similar operation. However, the 4.15 megapixel sensor and 8fps shooting of the EOS-1D makes it ideal for news and sports photographers, while the 11.1 megapixel sensor and 3fps shooting of the EOS-1Ds will appeal a very broad spectrum of professionals, including advertising and fashion photographers. The camera incorporates a full-frame CMOS sensor developed and manufactured by Canon. With a size of 24 x 36mm, it covers the same area as a film frame. This makes maximum use of the standard angle-of-view of EF lenses, especially the wide-angle series. The RAW recording file produces an image file size of 11.4MB, yet despite this size, the 3fps shooting rate can be maintained for up to 10 shots in a single burst. The camera will also generate RAW and JPEG files at the same time, if required, without any discernible loss of speed or burst length.

The EOS-1Ds supports CompactFlash Type I and Type II storage cards and Microdrives. Previous cameras only recognize 2GB of storage (FAT 16 format), even if the card or drive offers more. The camera uses both the FAT 16 and FAT 32 formats, recognizing storage up to 2048GB - if and when this becomes available.

The sensitivity of the sensor can be set to the equivalent of ISO speeds between 100 and 1250 (and even ISO 50 using a Custom Function). The fastest shutter speed is 1/8000 of a second, with flash synchronization at 1/250 of a second. A shutter time lag of just 55ms, together with ultra-fast and precise 45-point autofocus will help photographers to capture decisive moments. The EOS-1Ds will appeal to professional photographers who are attracted by the convenience and flexibility of digital photography, but need images of the highest quality. It is particularly well suited to advertising and fashion photographers, and others who see their work used in glossy publications. It will also undoubtedly appeal to photographers in all specialties who have been waiting for a high resolution, full frame, digital SLR.

 ... digital SLR cameras, but whilst they all accepted the lenses I already owned they had a different effective focal lengths, due to the size of the digital "receiver" in the camera. Being a bit slow (and a little set in my ways, to be honest!), I didn't want to have to carry two focal length "data sets" in my mind, so waited, and waited for the "Full-Frame" digital body Canon were due to release. It eventually arrived in 2003 as the EOS 1DS, but cost a fortune, so again I waited.... The ...more

Crowned Review Canon EOS 1Ds: The Dawn of Digital photography (for me!) (1148 words)
by - written on 14/09/09 (Very useful, 41 readings)

Ok - so you have a compact camera that shoots a 10MP image. You even get 5 MP out of your phone, which boasts a Zeiss lens. So why would you want one of these? Allow me to give you a little insight into where I come from on this product.... I trained as a photographer many moons ago, back in the days when film was, well, film, the darkroom was dark and had wet chemicals in it, (which gave you an interesting aroma!) In light of this, I will keep my comments purely to the use of the EOS1-DS in the shooting department and leave the digital workflow to those who know about such things (and whose reviews I will read and value) I was ...  Read the complete review

Price, Movies, Quality Menu system

Excellent photos for a 3mp camera, heaps of features, reliable A bit noisy, only 3x zoom, show flash recycle, no battery meter

Powerful processing capabilities, short delays In dark conditions, you need flash to get a relatively good photo

Great value, has all the functions you need Limited focus points, poor high ISO performance

Very well built with amazing speed, image, it also lasts a long time not too many disadvantages, I would say although a really great camera, it still broke my bank.
