p.3 #1 · p.3 #1 · Canon 1DS MK3 or 5D MK3 ... which would you choose?


I have a 1D3 and owned a 5d2 for a while, both of which used similar generation sensor tech to the 1Ds3. The one major difference I have noticed outside of the obvious ability to use high ISOs is that the 5D3 has significantly more color and exposure latitude in the highlights compared to the exact same scene shot with a 1D3. The difference was less noticeable coming from my 5D2, but still there. The AF in the 5D3 is probably better but I never had trouble with my 1D3.

I've got both. If I had to sell one it would be the 1Ds3. The 1Ds never leaves the studio any more. The 5D3 is fantastic and does most of our weddings along with the 7D2.

The bottom line is only you can choose which camera is better suited to your style and/or business.

I decided against the 1Ds3 after all, because (IMO) a DSLR should be a workshorse camera that can handle all situations. The limited ISO capability of the 1Ds3 and also limited latitude with post-processing the files are not good enough.

That new 5D4 looks very nice, but I am not quite ready to spend $4,500 (Canadian) on the body.
