Canon EOS 1D Mark III - Expert Reviews

Review summary: While the shell of the EOS 1D Mark III still feels as though you could hammer tent pegs in with it, every other feature from the Mark II model seems to have been considered for enhancement, relocation or removal. The results are fantastic

Pros: Thoughtfully updated, Jaw-dropping picture quality, Fantastically versatile

Cons: Very expensive

Verdict: The price will be a turn-off for many, but this is a precision tool for demanding users. Sports, wildlife and press photographers have never had it so good

Review summary: It's a camera that's been designed with today's photographer in mind - from a smaller, weight-shaving battery to a three-inch LCD, complete with Live View

Pros: Thoughtfully updated, Jaw-dropping picture quality, Fantastically versatile

Cons: Very expensive

Verdict: As mentioned, the return to focus point control can now be assigned to the multi-controller. This can make vertical shots a little fiddlier than on the Mark II as there's only one of these and it's a stretch to reach it with your thumb
