The Canon CMOS Advantage
Canon CMOS sensors—designed and manufactured by
Canon for exclusive use in Canon digital cameras—provide
a number of important advantages over sensors typically
found in other digital cameras: Their significantly reduced
power consumption helps extend battery life and eliminates
performance problems related to increased heat and
noise. They deliver fast operation, taking full advantage
of multi-channel architecture to provide unprecedented
combinations of high resolution and high-speed image
capturing performance. In addition, a multi-layer low-pass
filter is placed in front of the sensor to isolate false colors
that the sensor may detect. Canon CMOS sensors also
incorporate a novel noise reduction system that records the
noise of each pixel prior to exposure then automatically
subtracts that noise. Lauded by the best in the business,
Canon’s CMOS sensors deliver outstanding resolution
and signal purity, making them ideal for the most critical
photographic applications.

Incomparable Canon Full-Frame CMOS
Technology
The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates a Canon CMOS sensor,
which delivers approximately 21.1 effective megapixels
(5616 x 3744 pixels). The recording area of the sensor is
36 x 24mm, which is equivalent to the full-frame size of
the 35mm film format. Compared to typical smaller digital
camera sensors, the Canon full-frame sensor can accom-
42
modate a tremendous pixel count while maintaining larger
individual pixel site size. Larger sites improve light
gathering capability, enabling the sensor to produce a
cleaner, more noise-free image.
EOS Digital SLR cameras with full-frame sensors let
you use interchangeable lenses exactly as you would
with 35mm film SLR cameras. They let photographers
use the entire range of superb Canon EF lenses without a
conversion factor, making it possible to take full advan-
tage of the specific optical characteristics for which the
lenses were designed. This is an important benefit for
photographers who have sizable EF lens collections.
Ultra-High-Resolution Image Capture
The 21.1 effective megapixels full-frame sensor captures
images with stunning detail and precision. The resulting
high-resolution image files ensure exceptional reproduction
quality, with generous data density for enhanced large-output
capabilities and post-processing cropping flexibility.

Extended RAW Recording Capabilities
The EOS-1Ds Mark III can capture RAW and sRAW (Small
RAW) images. This added versatility is ideal for photogra-
phers who prefer the control afforded by RAW capture in
shooting situations that do not require the camera’s full
resolution capability. Options are also provided for
simultaneous RAW+JPEG and sRAW+JPEG recording with
an extensive choice of JPEG sizing options.
Superior Color Tonality
The EOS-1Ds Mark III employs superior 14-bit converters
to process the output of the imaging sensor. Each color
channel provides 16,384 separate steps of brightness,
from darkest to lightest. This ensures smoother tonal
transitions and more natural gradations. 16,384 distinct
tones can be recorded in each color channel, with every
click of the shutter—even JPEG images start using 14 bits
of tonal data!
The EOS-1Ds Mark III 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS
sensor delivers a high-resolution image of exacting pre-
cision, yielding a whopping 60MB file in Adobe®
Photoshop®, with unprecedented data density for
enhanced large-output capabilities and post-process-
ing cropping flexibility. Actual size shown above.

A Superior Creativity Tool
The recipient of more than a hun-
dred awards for creativity, Michel
Tcherevkoff has captured images
and exhibited his work around
the globe. He is known for his
unique ability to create visual
metaphors for advertising, corpo-
rate, design, and editorial clients.
His signature style is “reality with
a twist”—finding the extraordi-
nary in the ordinary. For Michel,
the EOS System stands alone as a
photographic tool, enabling him
to experiment with design and
color as no other camera system.
Specialty Lenses for
Specialized Shooting
Educated as an engineer, London-
born photographer Norman McGrath
transitioned into his career as an
architectural photographer after
moving to New York in 1956. His
work has appeared in every major
architectural publication world-
wide and shooting assignments
and workshops have taken him
everywhere. Norman credits Canon
and the EOS System’s ability to
deliver images, at one time only
possible with more cumbersome
4x5 view cameras.

Beauty in the Eye of the
Photographer
Award-winning nature photographer
Jennifer Wu travels extensively
throughout the United States and
Europe to capture her striking
images. Her commercial work has
appeared in numerous local,
national, and international publi-
cations. Jennifer’s lifelong quest
to capture the elusive and unrec-
ognized beauty in nature pushes
her to ever more challenging
adventures. The Canon EOS System
is her choice for recording those
magical moments.
Digital Capture Redefined
Once in a while a new tool comes along that recalibrates our capabilities… a technological
tour de force that forever changes our perception of what is and is not possible… a
professional instrument that expands the boundaries of creative communication. The
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is just such a tool. True to the EOS-1 legacy, this remarkable camera
redefines the state of the DSLR (Digital Single-Lens-Reflex) art in no uncertain terms.
