The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.

In regards to my recent purchase of a Canon 20D-17-85. My experience with Camera Canada is 100% positive. All inquires were handled truthfully and promptly, pricing was very competitive, all things being equal the best pricing I could find in Canada. Their web site is easily navigated, up to date and very informative, telephone inquires are responsive. My order was placed at the last minute with a request, if possible, for quick delivery; I wanted it for New Years Eve. The Camera and lens were shipped promptly, a UPS tracking number was provided (Camera arrived the next day in Winnipeg). Although the filter was back ordered it has subsequently been shipped prepaid and a tracking number provided all within a week of the original order. I would highly recommend Camera Canada and will continue to purchase equipment from them.
