Canon EOS1D MKIII

The CREAM of Canon could convert a Nikon nut, perhaps........ This new camera announced last week seems to offer a great package, but, at a tremendous price - £3,050.01. What a ridiculous penny why not £2,999.99, it looks better.
* An entirely new 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor — which also features the EOS Integrated Cleaning System
* 10 frames per second shooting with a burst rate up to 110 full-resolution JPEG images or 30 RAW
* 19 user-selectable AF points and 26 additional “assist points”
* Lighter body with enhanced weather resistance
* Dual DIGIC III image processors working in parallel to provide up to 50% less shadow noise and superb image quality
* Large 3-inch LCD monitor with Live View
Plus for me, two neat solutions, not mentioned high up in the specs, which might prove really useful - "Live View Mode" - Live image from sensor can be used via back LCD and Wifi (via WFT-E2). Anyone who has read this blog will know that having just spent more than three grand on a device like this, being able to send pics for free from a wi-fi hotspot would start to put a smile back on my lips.
