Picked up my 1Ds MkIII the other day. No real surprises, except for the absolutely fantastic viewfinder. I was dropping of a 1Ds MkII at the same time so got the chance to compare them side by side with the same lenses fitted. It's a bit brighter, and a bit bigger, but the 1Ds MkIII viewfinder image looks significantly crisper, even right into the corners. I find manual focusing now becomes possible and closely scrutinising the composition is a real treat.It was a pleasant surprise in the digital era to encounter such significant improvement in what is a basic photographic feature, the viewfinder. Well done Canon![a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=166589\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
It's a GREAT viewfinder, not simply a good one. Edmund[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=166607\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Once the dust has settled I think people will really come to appreciate just how good a camera the 1Ds 3 is.[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Maybe if you get a good one, you may be impressed.Others haven't been so lucky.http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index....topic=22289&hl=[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=166805\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I used a 1DsIII for an afternoon, and really liked it. It's fast and snappy, and lighter than the previous one, VIEWFINDER IS WONDERFUL, battery is said to last forever, body seems even easier to hold now it's lighter, and the skin tone even looks a bit less plastic than the 1Ds2. If an updated 5D comes along that has the same improved viewfinder , weight, and battery I'd guess every single member of this forum will buy one as a carryaround.Edmund[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=168455\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
