Canon - 1DS Mark II Digital SLR Camera
|
Quick Overview |
An update to the tremendously popular EOS-1Ds, the new EOS-1Ds Mark II is a must have for those seeking to capture huge, beautiful images, fast. With an all new, full frame 16.7 megapixel CMOS image sensor, combined with Canon's blazing DIGIC II Image Processor, the EOS-1Ds Mark II captures up to 32 consecutive shots at speeds up to 4 frames-per-second, and has dramatically decreased startup and card-writing times in comparison to the EOS-1Ds. These improvements are complemented by Canon's renowned build quality for reliability in even the most rugged conditions. Compatibility with over 50 EF Lenses, in addition to the entire line of EOS accessories, including the new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1 accessory easily makes the EOS-1Ds Mark II the most remarkable combination of resolution and speed in the history of digital SLRs.

[04/21/09] I thought I would give this camera an up-to-date review, as used copies are now priced similarly to the new 5D Mark II. (April 2009).
Cons:
-The image quality from the 1DsII at ISO 1600 and 3200 is nosier than on the original 5D. Not a lot worse, but by 2009 standards it's just O.K.
-The flip side is that the AF on the 1DsII can lock on in situations where ISO 1600 and 3200 are needed, whereas the 5D series can be frustrating in low light.
-The RAW buffer is only 10 frames, and the LCD screen is tiny, which is more annoying than I had expected.
Pros:
-Much faster focusing and response time, and shorter shutter release lag than the 5DII.
-More accurate metering.
-The build quality is unbeatable.
-16.7MP is still a lot...
Overall, if you need full frame and fast AF, the 1DsII is it. If you need full frame and superior low light performance, the 5DII is it. |

[11/03/05] This camera is surprisingly fast, making it a real contender for certain news and sports work. The image quality and noise-reducing technologies are a joy. This camera, for me, really marks the point where I don't need to shoot film any more. With such large files, the efficency of your work flow becomes more important. It's also far more practical to be using this camera in conjunction with a high-end desktop computer, rather than a notebook. A significant improvement on the 1DS. |
