p.100 #1 · •1D Mk III 'Master' Thread •


Well, I have not had my MKIII for long and use it for weddings and not sports, but the more I read and the more I use mine the more it seems like it's a matter of "help the sky is falling" more than it is a real problem (yes maybe because most brides are not going out for passes) but it seems as though the firmware has resolved most of the issues.

I just covered (as a medical provider) the UW-OSU game. I did a quick and dirty survey of the sideline photography pro photography crew. My rough estimate indicates that at least 70% of those shooting were using 1dMkIII's as there primary cameras (with a variety of backups...by the way, I saw 1 Nikon shooter in a sea of Canon shooters). Their Mark III's were typically mounted on long telephoto lenses, with some using their back ups for wider lenses. This is in contrast to reports from other venues, but we are in cool, but sunny Washington. By the way, the few pros that I talked with all loved their Mark III's...I talked with about 5....No one was complaining. Like I said, just an FYI. I didn't get around to ask what firmware that they were using.....sorry


They're happy because all the bad ones were sent to FMers.

Definitely not ALL FMers have bad Mk3s . At least half the FMers are enjoying their Mk3s and happily shooting away (very quietly).

Don't know them, but I just got mine from Adorama this morning. Ordered Sept 9th, shipped 16th. They were closed for a few days because of holiday, so the 'out of stock' turnaround may have been even faster.

And, for those who might inquire, it shipped with 1.1.0

Shooting field hockey this afternoon ... wish me 'autofucus' luck !!

I don't know why you like to order the camera from USA
After shipping it to Sweden it will cost a lot more than buying it in Europe. And you get one without warranty (in Sweden) also

Thanks all. It seems like I'll buy it from enterpricephoto.com now. And yes Lars, it would be stupid to buy it from the US if I was not moving there this weekend

What is everyones best guess for when the 1D Mark III will hit hit its minimum advertised price of 3999.95 from reputable retailer?

After Christmas?

I've seen it for $4200 right now. I would guess that after they get the focusing issues resolved that they might lower the price down to $3999. They will also have competition from Nikon in November.

When the MK IIIn with resolved focusing is released

I bet the price drops when Nikons competition gets on the market.
