Quick review

The good
Handling, frame rate performance, build quality, low and high ISO image quality, feature set, metering
The bad
Servo AF not reliable, accurate exposure on LCD difficult, price, weight, limited exposure modes
Verdict
The Canon EOS 1D Mk III looks unrivaled in terms of its burst shooting prowess and noise performance at higher ISOs, however a hefty price tag is joined by a hefty weight of 1.33kg that might put you off
