Canon has just announced a digital SLR camera that’s larger than this poor woman’s head! …well actually, the new EOS-1D Mark III while large-ish is a bit smaller than the previous model, the Mark II. The Mark II was a very well reviewed and highly recommended camera, and this new model improves on it.
While smaller, the Mark III is better & faster than it’s predecessor in all respects - it shoots 10.1 megapixels at 10 fps, the larger sensor supports an ISO range of 100-3200, and the color depth has been improved to 14-bit + there’s a whole bunch of other changes too…
Expected in April at $3999+
