Well, this isn’t for amateur photographers, but for semi to professional photographers. Currently, this is the fastest digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera in the world! Developed on the earlier 1D and 1D Mark II platform, this hot digicam packs more punch than ever.

The Canon 1D Mark III is suitable for sports and types of photography that requires fast shooting speeds. The new 1D Mark III boosts Canon’s current record of 8.5 frames per second to a blistering 10 frames per second. What’s even more impressive is that the 1D Mark III can maintain this shooting speed at its full 10-megapixel resolution for 30 continuous RAW images or 110 JPEG images…wow!

Also, this is the first time Canon has introduced Live View in a Digital-SLR which enables the photographer to view a shot before actually taking a picture.
