    CNET Review

    February 25, 2008

    The Good: Very low noise, high quality images; 21.1 megapixels; live view shooting; pro-level build-quality and performance.

    The Bad: High price tag; heavy body; no AF in live view mode.

    The Bottom Line: The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.
