Canon EOS-1D Mark III Shoots 10 Frames Per Second

[bottle]

something for the camera buffs

Canon announced its high-end 10.1-megapixel digital SLR, the EOS-1D Mark III, capable of slamming down 10 motor driven frames per second using the next generation of its image processing engine, the Dual Digic III. Canon says the APS H-size CMOS sensor inside is its most light-sensitive yet, capable of an ISO range of 10 to 3200.

The Mark III also has Canon's first live-view LCD screen on a digital SLR. This will give users the ability to compose shots in the camera's 3-inch LCD viewscreen as well as the optical eyepiece. Plus, the camera can connect to a PC via USB 2.0 to enable viewing of the shots on a computer screen as well. The camera will also include the EOS Integrated Cleaning System which vibrates for 3.5 seconds to clean off dust, just like its lower-cost brandmate the Canon Digital Rebel XTi.

The Mark III should ship in April for US$ 3999

I hope they release a normal 1.6X crop sensor version of this cam as 40D. That way the 30D prices will drop to 600-700$ and i can dump my rebel body for a 30D body .

So which is the best of the new cameras?

^ Ohh that's really sweet, especially the Live LCD, and finally DIGIC III is here

On the downer, it doesn't have a full frame sensor so I'd expect a 1Ds MKIII too..

Nah, 40D body won be here for another 5 months. Canon has the stupid habit of half-yearly releases.
