Canon’s new original large area CMOS sensor delivers striking image quality while processing a massive volume of image data via 8-channel reading that enables an ultra-fast 10fps continuous shooting speed. The APS-H size sensor, with a remarkable image size of 28.1 x 18.7mm, features an outstanding effective resolution of approximately 10.1 million pixels and a wider standard ISO range (100–3200). The top ISO speed of 3200, highest of the EOS DIGITAL SLRs*, has been reached by enhanced light-gathering/light-reception efficiency. Owing to the wide dynamic range, the sensor precisely captures nuances of light and color for images with smooth gradation, while comprehensive dust reduction throughout the unit assures even greater image clarity. Natural framing is enabled with an effective angle of view approx. 1.3 times the focal length of Canon EF lenses. Moreover, enhanced noise reduction technology including an advanced on-chip noise reduction circuit efficiently lowers noise for shooting performance at a high S/N ratio. And despite the sensor size, overall processing efficiency in the EOS-1D Mark III also keeps power consumption minimal. Advances like these make this camera the model answer to professional needs. * As of February 2007. Note: All references to ISO sensitivity are based on Recommended Exposure Index.
