1Ds mark iii????

[jonathan7007]

My 1DsMk3 was $2300 delivered so $1400 is fantastic and a gift. I passed up a lot of $2600-2700 priced bodies. This low price insulates you from being hurt financially if there *are* problems down the road.

Get it.

Do you know by any chance or have heard something about 1ds3 having a premature shutter breaking problem?
Any website that you can recommend to order a spare battery. I would like to get a canon lp-e4 because the battery has rubber sealing around it but the problem is, it will cost me an arm. I would like to get a cheap yet a good quality third party batteries. Ive looked at amazon and ebay already but people have diff experiences with their batteries. So i kinda want to hear other peoples oppinion that actually have owned third party batteries.

just stick with genuine batteries you are getting the camera for a steal, if you are going to get a 1Dmk3 too look around for one thats selling with 2 or more batteries (these batteries last alot longer than the ones on the 1Dsmk2 anyway

I think some 1Dsmk3 cameras have had premature shutter failures but i dont think its a a "common" problem

There doesn't seem to be a market to recoup costs on second hand ones though... and once you work with a 1DX, the 1Ds III looks and feels like a dinosaur... I was cursing even at the lack of a Q button... and the ISO performance is nothing short of stellar on the 1DX.

Agreed. I feel like the 1DX is like a 1Ds3/1D4 combo camera. The RAW files are much, much easier to push, the IQ is outstanding across an insanely large ISO spread, and man is it fast! The sensor is better in the 1DX vs the 1Ds3.

But I'm off topic. I did use a 1Ds3 myself and I loved the camera. But since I do sports and other things, I need ISO flexibility. In studio, or in well-lit situations, the 1Ds3 is a monster. Even today, almost 6 years later, it is probably Canon's 2nd or 3rd best camera.

Great, that is exactly what I want to hear. ;D Im a happy camper now since this camera is really a beast. I don't really shoot that much at night time and if I do, I use flash. Also, I think that is where my 1.2's and 1.4's aperture that are going to get use.

The 1Ds Mark III is to this day still ranked FIRST out of all Canon cameras in skin tone accuracy. Try it out. Even the 1DX is slightly off, but the 1Ds3 never is.

That's good to know specially coming from someone that has both 1dx and 1ds3.

Yes, but what I was getting at is that the 1DX and 5D3 are worse for that, than the 1Ds3.
