SO having read loadsa threads on the 1DS III and the 1D III what is the general opinion ie the favourite model to come out of it? I asked in a thread last week if all that extra dosh is worth it? One reason being the FPS and the expandable ISO??
So what really is the top dog?


1DS mkIII/ 20D/ 24-70L / 100-400L/ 16-35L / 100 mm macro/ 1.4 conv/ 12mm ext/25mm ext/580EX

1Ds Mk.III

The 1D Mk.III is a good camera, but not top dog. It also serves a different purpose. The 40d Is top dog for peopel who want to spend $1200. The used 5D is tip dog for people wanting to spend $2000 for full frame... etc. etc.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

They're different cameras designed to meet different needs. There's no "best". There's just "best for my needs".

again, it all depends on your shooting style and needs. for me, the mkIII is better but for somebody else it will be the 1DsmkIII because we both shoot different things.

Like I said. For what? Studio shoots for Times Square billboards, or the Super Bowl?

Sports, journalism, fast action, extreme low light to name a few.

Landscapes too. Street photography.

Both cameras with do all the above. Some situations will just be easier with one or the other.

1DmkIII in my own opinion. faster, better crop size (1.3 vs. full frame).
