I’ve shot with Canon cameras for twenty years. Every time I’m in the mood to do a major upgrade I always go to a camera dealer and take a look at the competition and each time I’ve done this I’ve always stayed with Canon.
This camera is built like a brick. Canon tells us they dropped some weight from the previous model, but it is still quite hefty. Yet, it fells balanced and solid in your hands. They’ve also simplified the controls and menu system and compared to the Nikon system I tested the Mark III is much easier to use. Since I am a landscape photographer and often out before the sun is up I appreciate how easy it is to make a change on the Canon in poor lighting. With all the knobs and dials the Nikon is a nightmare to use.
The meter is excellent as is the image quality. The camera only has 10 megapixels, but the mp’s are large and pick up great image quality while holding down the noise. Autofocus is also excellent. They had problems with the first cameras, but later models (mine is a blue dot) don’t have the problem. The autofocus locks on moving objects quickly and maintains as the object changes course while you are firing off 10 frames per second. Any time I’ve had an out of focused shot it’s been due to my error. This camera is a pro body and autofocus must be fine tuned – in other words it doesn’t give you one size fits all focusing. Take time to read the manual and some of the papers Canon publishes on their website and learn how to set up the autofocusing for different situations and you won’t have any problems.
The Mark IV is out now with more megapixels and a totally new autofocusing system, but according to some of the reviews, such as Pop Photo, its autofocus is not as fast as the Mark III’s. With the new model out the Mark III is now a bargain.
Go to pbase dot com and in the gallery section select cameras and then Mark III and take a look at the quality of the photos this camera produces. I think you’ll be impressed.
Help answer the question about Mark Iii
I need some help with 1970 Lincoln Mark III?
All I need to know is whether or not you have to take off Mark Iii the dash to replace the heater core in a 1970 Lincoln Mark III. Perhaps you can get to it from under the hood? I tried googling, but I'm rather ignorant when it comes to cars so it was all Greek to me.
