Henry,
Very nice shots. For your type of photography, I would think that you go for a 1DsMk2 for the resolution instead of the 1DMK3. Why did you get the 1DMk3? For its high ISO performance?

Stephen

Gave it some serious thought but...

1. I don't really like the handling or interface on the MkII's. Seemed very odd to me. The extra weight was a factor but more importantly, the loss of those few ounces changed the balance and I just like the feel of the M3 better.

2. I do a lot of butterfly shooting and the extra reach is important to me as I often can't up close enough without destroying their environment. The issue is not so much for the pixel density but for critical manual focus.

3. I do some sports shooting for hoots and giggles only since I'm not very good at it. I don't often need or use more than 4 fps but when I do, having it is nice.

That said, if a 1DsMkIII fell into my lap I would give it a good and caring home.

Eric, love your YNP pics.

Shane, your images are fantastic, very well presented.

Cheers

Thank you Nick, your moto images are awesome as well. Is your servo tracking AF having any trouble, or are you getting a good keeper rate?
BTW, my name is Rob not Eric... Must have just taken a quick glance at my screen name, EMC 2. No prob, just thought I'd clear it up.
Rob, Not sure where I got Eric from? I only shoot AI-SERVO and have not had any AF issues to date, I only shoot single point AF with C.Fn III 8-2. this is one of my 1st BIF shots, Nick

Question for you guys with the 1D mkIII.. Have any of you tried to make large prints from this camera yet? By large I mean 16x20 or larger..

Right now I have the 5D and I have a deposit on the 1Ds mkIII but I'm looking for a camera with some speed to it and I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a 1D mkIII

Haven't gone large, large but 13x19 is stunning.

Most of my prints are 16x24, 20x30 or 24x36. I know a 6mp camera can do a 24x36 but it doesn't do it at the quality that I demand and need. I'm hoping the 1D mkIII can. it would fill a huge hole in my bag and give me a sore back at the end of the day

XsigmaSD, would you mind sharing a 100% crop (unprocessed) of one of the high-ISO shots? I'm very interested in the amount of noise, as these pictures look great. Thanks in advance.

No Problem. If I did this right, this is a 100% crop.
Workflow: 6400 ISO RAW > Light Room > JPG > Photoshop (for crop only, NO NR!)

Showing some .jpg artifacts that don't show up before going to SmugMug.
Yea, its that good!

Wow, some fantastic images in this thread. I'll add a few of my most recent photos from the Mark III. Lenses were 400 f5.6 and 300 f2.8

Not sure why this showed up twice. I deleted one and they both disappeared. Then posted one again. Strange.

I've only had the opportunity to fart around with the camera at a party this weekend, but the ISO 6400 results are pretty stunning, even with Lightroom which typically has a hard time Color Noise reducing MKII photos pushed up to 6400...
