Hide

Spectacular

9.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 9.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Philip Ryan
Review date: 6/18/07

The good: Extremely fast, 10-megapixel continuous shooting; very low noise; highly customizable; well-designed body with weather sealing; 3-inch LCD; abundant optional accessories.

The bad: Heavy; may be a bit too large for people with small hands.

The bottom line: Canon's EOS 1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customization, and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market.
