Canon 1D Mark III Review – Image Samples

2 January 2008 3 Comments

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words and these samples will hopefully go some way in demonstrating the versatility and quality the 1D is capable of.

December 2007 was one of my favourite months of photography in terms of variety of subjects and the actual subjects I shot. This section is a list of some of my favourite images from those 4 weeks using the 1D Mark III. Shots are categorised by type / situation.

Bright Sunlight, AI Servo shots
A mix of shots taken in Singapore and the UK.

    wow – huge thanks for taking the time to print such a detailed review , read more for general interest than info (already have a mark iii)
    makes a change to see a skilled owner posting informed comment rather than the usual loud protestations of people who have barely seen let alone used a 1d . well done – very nice shots btw

    Thank you for a very thorough evaluation. I am on the threshold of changing from a 5D to a 1d Mark 3 and you have helped enormously in developing my thinking process.

    Thank you very much
