Canon EOS-1D Mark III Has Live-View LCD

Canon has announced its latest professional DSLR body, the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Not only is it Canon’s first DSLR with live-view LCD, it is also capable of bursting 10 whooping frames per second. That’s the fastest ever on a DSLR!

Canon claims that its new sensor is their most light-sensitive ever, reaching up to an ISO of 6,400. Its APS-H sensor size with 1.3x fov crop remains the same as its predecessor, the EOS-1D Mark II (not to be confused with EOS-1Ds Mark II which is full-frame).

And another less surprising feature is the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which vibrates the sensor for 3.5 seconds, shaking off any dust stuck on it.

Other Features:

• 10.1-megapixel
• Dual DIGIC III image processor engine
• 3-inch LCD with live-viewing
• 45-points AF module, with 19 of them being high-precision cross-type
• New LC-E4 Lithium-ion battery pack for up to 2200 shots per charge

Price has yet been announced, but Canon says it’ll be similar to that of the EOS-1D Mark II. It should start hitting shelves sometime in Spring. Pro-shooters using EOS-1D Mark II, start saving now!
