I. OVERVIEW 3
The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, brother of the EOS-1D Mark II and
successor to the EOS-1Ds, is the new flagship of the Canon
line of digital single lens reflex cameras and the absolute
pinnacle of D-SLR design and performance.
The Canon-designed and manufactured full-frame CMOS
sensor has 16.7 megapixels, the highest resolution unit in
any digital SLR on the market. Complete, in-house control
has made it technically and economically feasible for
Canon to produce a sensor of such prowess.
Amazingly, the 1Ds Mark II is lithe and responsive. Canon
has given it the processing
power and write speeds
necessary to handle the enormous files it records so
effortlessly.
The EOS-1Ds Mark II can fire bursts of 32
JPEGs or 11 RAW frames at 4 frames-per-second.
It starts
from OFF in 0.3 second and has a shutter delay as low as
40ms. The 1Ds Mark II
shares its exceptional 45-point
autofocus system, E-TTL II flash system, extensive controls,
rugged chassis and shutter with the EOS-1D Mark II, the professional standard for
sports, news, fashion, wedding and portrait photographers worldwide.
This commonality of parts has enabled Canon to offer a vastly improved camera for the
same price as its 11.1 megapixel predecessor. For approximately $8,000, the 1Ds Mark
II equals, and surpasses in many respects, the performance of digital camera backs that
c
ost $16,000 and up, plus the purchase of a medium format body. Then factor in the
limited selection and expense of medium format lenses and accessories and the
inconvenient add-ons most backs require. At $7,999, the 1Ds Mark II may not be
inexpensive, but it is a sensational deal.
The EOS-1Ds Mark II will appeal immediately to photographers who do commercial
product shots, stock photography, portraits and landscape work. Wedding
photographers who sell large prints, or who have wanted to, and magazine
photographers shooting covers, full-page layouts and centerfolds will love it, too.
Photographers who have used the EOS-1Ds will be delighted with the new resolution of
the 1Ds Mark II, but they will find the new speed and ease of operation a pleasure as
well. It is likely that the steady rate of conversion of pros from other systems will
continue and possibly accelerate.
