Canon’s 21.1 megapixel EOS 1Ds Mark III is due out in September The big story with the Canon EOS 1D Mark III is that it’s a better, more universally appealing professional camera for more types of professional photographers. With past Canon EOS 1D announcements, the big story was the incredibly high capture speed at reasonably high resolutions. The amazing technology required to dump high res images at high speed tended to dominate our coverage of these sport-tuned professional SLRs. But the scene has changed. The additional 1.5 frames per second isn’t the most important improvement with the Canon EOS 1D Mark III, it’s just a nice enhancement. The same goes for the jump from 8 megapixels to 10.
