Canon EOS 1DS

Canon EOS-1Ds major features summary Professional EOS Digital SLR Magnesium body, environmentally sealed, based on EOS-1V Integrated battery compartment / vertical hand grip 11.4 megapixel CMOS sensor (primary colour filter) Full frame sensor, no field of view crop / focal length multiplier Output image size: 4064 x 2704 or 2032 x 1352 JPEG (Fine/Normal), RAW (12-bit) Simultaneous RAW+JPEG mode (saves RAW plus either Full size or Half size JPEG) Maximum burst speed of 3 fps for up to 10 JPEG frames or 10 RAW frames Option to also record a JPEG file when shooting RAW ISO 100 - 1250 in 1/3 stop steps, ISO 50 available from a custom function ISO sensitivity bracketing Same 45-point AF as EOS-1V Response time similar to the EOS-1V - 57 ms shutter release and 87 ms viewfinder blackout Evaluative, Partial, Center-weighted, Spot and Multi-spot metering Shutter speed range: Bulb, 30 - 1/8,000 sec (1/250 sec flash X-sync) Aperture range: F91 - F1 Noise reduction can be enabled for exposures 1/15 sec or slower IEEE 1394 (Firewire) connectivity CF Type I or II (inc. IBM Microdrive) Hybrid Auto White balance combines external white balance sensor and main sensor White balance bracketing Up to three parameter sets: tone (gamma) curve, sharpening, JPEG compression ratio Selectable 'colour matrix' settings define colour space (sRGB / Adobe RGB) and balance 21 custom functions, 26 personal functions, which can be stored into 'function groups' Bracketing of exposure (shutter / aperture), white balance and ISO sensitivity Voice annotation capability (built-in microphone) Illuminated status LCD's Supplied RAW conversion application (File Viewer Utility) Supplied remote capture (tethered operation) software Double battery charger New features / updates since the EOS-1D Full-frame 11 megapixel CMOS sensor Continuous shooting down to 3 fps, max 10 images ISO range 100 - 1250, ISO 50 selectable from custom function Noise reduction takes effect from 1 sec (1/15 sec for the EOS-1D) Personal functions can be set via in-camera menu JPEG compression now represented as numbers rather than a ruler FAT32 filesystem support for Compact Flash cards greater than 2 GB Playback magnification now available Images can be tagged with a unique 'signature' for use with Data Verification Kit Improved battery life (thanks to CMOS sensor) Fastest shutter speed down to 1/8,000 sec (1/16,000 sec for the EOS-1D) X-Sync speed down to 1/250 sec (1/500 sec for the EOS-1D)
