FIRST outing with beautiful 1D MKIII...

LOL!!

Sounds like an "Infommerical".
...So now that Focusing issues have been clearly identified and
resolved by Canon, and now that a brand new & flamboyant EIZO CG241W
has been dropped-shipped by my best friend for me to test drive and
calibrate (that's the kind of friend everyone really wants), I have
just decided that it is the perfect time for a new camera.

Enter our brand new 1D MKIII (well, two, because the other is on its
way to my best friend's "château" ;-)

Mine had arrived just a few days back to DELL's warehouse, and came
to me with a high 54+ serial number. Called Canon on the spot, here
in the U.S. (transferred to east-coast support center), and after
reviewing cam's records/serials and papers, they felt pretty
confident that my unit was clear, "purified" from factory and highly
unlikely to experience any issue, whatsoever, other than pure joy...
;-)

BTW, for those of you living here in North America : if you have
been waiting for this cam, I can tell you that NOW is the time.
Price is $4,059 + applicabble taxes, and any focusing garbage seems
now history, from a production point-of-view.

Well, after all the things said and done, here I am: a
sweet-and-beautiful 1D MKIII (with Canon's BEST zoom ever made, EF
70-200 f/4L) plus the wonderful EIZO CG241W. So we went out and gave
the cam a quick run, and then intensively worked out the monitor,
which ultimately proved to be an excellent resource for my
ACR/Lightroom Calibration pseudo-profiles.

Some quick snap-shots for your evaluation, with ZERO post-processing
in Photoshop, other than minimal steps for resizing:

Please, notice that the following STATIC close-up was shot in
AI-SERVO (!), hand-held, with IS, at the same time I was chasing my
older son around, under 80+ degrees Florida sun (cam was warm):

http://www.pbase.com/feharmat/image/88159670/original

I know that folks have had issues with AI-SERVO even in static mode,
because of unpredictable jittering of AF subsystem unable to resolve
focus consistently. However, from my initial observations this cam's
AF "continuous" mode is simply BETTER than my already excellent (and
sold) 1D MKII-N. Pretty surprising, and this is with f/4 optics. I
wonder how it would do on faster glass. I will dive deeper into
moving objects, UFOs and dogs/cats/kids, etc., but this is already an
excellent sign (no jittering, no miss, no doubt on target selection
and focus resolution in continuous mode).

As for Lightroom calibration, I leveraged the presence (or the
omnipresence) of the CG241W, which seems BIG on my desktop, sitting
right next to my VP930b and VP191B monitors. The EIZO has an
incredible brightness stability and distribution profile accross
its ENTIRE frame. GONE are the CRTs with this bad-boy, and you get
from factory the precise measurements, corner-to-corner, top-bottom,
left-right of your unit. How sweet!

After some monitor calibration and Gamma-curve woes (which turned out
to be a joke to resolve), I was able to arrive to four presets with
four different TRCs, which individually loaded on LR presets via
text-editor, as they can not be loaded via LR's P.O.S. user
interface. Mind you that these TRCs are FAIRLY different than 1D
MKII/N, though. The 1D MKIII distribution of stuff on its raw files
is certainly different, and the net effect on global contrast in
certainly different. The shadows on the 1D MKIII are OPEN, certainly
WIDER and less condensed than the 1D MKII/N, which means that you
need to PROPERLY handle bottom-end tonality and adjust your TRCs
accordingly.

However, with the help of a nice, clean GMB target and IMATEST, I was
able to obtain readings of DeltaCxab deviation down to 4.11 @ 102%
Saturation, from the 1D3, with basically NO EFFORT other than
correctly exposing the target and waiting from the 40+ minutes crunch
on my PC. Best saturation-corrected baseline I was able to pull from
my 1D2 was 4.48 also at 102% Saturation (for your reference)

Moreover, I have noticed that gone are some magenta non-linear color
casts that I used to get when calibrating my older 1D2N with ACR,
which were certainly correctable, but under a "subjective" criteria,
though. With the 1D3, though, the response came clean and mostly
right from the calibration process.

Later on with more observations on the camera operation, and specific
differences that I have found with respect to my older (and
venerable) 1D2-N.

Stay tuned!

Could you also share your best 1D2n Lightroom calibration presets with us poor folks who still ONLY have the 1D2n. ;)
Look forward to seeing your examples showing the extra detail in the shadows.

Can you also post some high iso comparisons with a 5D? Both per pixel basis and 5D downsized to 10MP cases.

Does the 1D3 really beat the 5D in high iso noise tests if you downsize the 5D to the 1D3 10MP size?

Have you thought about sending your new 1D3 to a specialist to remove the AA filter in order to get more image detail?Maybe your rich friend with the Eizo can buy another one to try this out on? ;)

Thanks!

INSTRUCTIONS:

NOTE: This preset yields in a deltaC*ab of 4.11 (Sat. corrected) and effective saturation of 102%. On the 1D2/N it yiels approx. 4.50. Lower numbers, more precise, generally speaking, and within a specific gamut-range). Furthermore, little or no subjective adjustments to the RED primary seem necessary, as opposed to 1D2/N presets, which have been tuned for best-possible skin-tones reproduction.

...So now that Focusing issues have been clearly identified and
resolved by Canon,
I hope you're right, but I'll remain admittedly nervous on this issue until mine's been serviced and I have verified this in my own shooting. It'll be a while, though - I'm not letting my Mk III out of sight until my next new cam is in-hand and a proven performer - they're now saying deliveries of that model won't begin until the end of November. ;-)
Mine had arrived just a few days back to DELL's warehouse, and came
to me with a high 54+ serial number.
According to this post

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1032&message=25440292 , Canon are saying the cutoff serial number is 546561. Is yours safely above that range? Just curious to confirm they have shipped s/n 546562+ to the USA already.
AF "continuous" mode is simply BETTER than my already excellent (and
sold) 1D MKII-N.
No more Mk IIn??? Truly a leap of faith!
Have fun with your new Mk III!
:-)
 
...21-546532 and it is not affected by this issue in any form or shape.

What is happening here is that, if true, Canon is currently unable to pin-point/associate parts serials/batches and Cams numbers and production dates, thus listening pretty much ALL of them.

Mine is on the very, very last batch of that range. However, according to Canon U.S., they also checked my serial # and mentioned that most likely this cam (as well as others on this range) where already clean.

We must wait for the U.S. announcement. If yours DOES NOT exhibit any problem, under most conditions, DO NOT SEND IT, DO NOT DO ANYTHING. Better to have it working and UNOPENED than working and GUTTED in pieces and put-back together, all this out of the factory. It is not worth it, as long as a brand new is given to you, which is not likely at all.

Pixmantra,

Thank you for generously posting these setting. I have a 1DMkII (not an N) and would like to know if they work for my camera as well. Unfortunately, I have to admit I don't understand all you wrote, but I would love to try a different profile for the camera in Lightroom.

...from the get-go, and not those that work perfectly.

It is a very simple, easy-to-learn concept: either it WORKS or IT DOES NOT. There is NO such thing as "I believe" or "I have the impression" or "mine is a lemon", even if it works (talk about non-sense, here).

As you can see, Canon's call means basicall NOTHING, because they are pointing to almost the entire production run, assuming UNIQUE serial numbers, and that serial numbers are only comprised by those digits an no other correlatives (not shown in the bottom of the body). This means, in turn, that they do not seem fully capable of precisely identifying affected cameras/serials/dates of manufacturing.

There are MANY cams out-there that have absolutely NO issues, at all, while others seem to be badly screwed. It is the SCREWED lot the one to be repaired, not the other way around (which is the non-sense you imply).

really nice to know you are back

Congrate that you are happy with your MK III

as I learn from your info.
I end up with a MK III also.
so far so good.
never bother to do a test regard to the AI servos.
But still looking forward of what you are going to said about it.
I am not too sure about the focuse thing.
I just shoot..

at last it is good to know that you are back to the forum...

Best Regard
 
Congrats on your new camera. I read somewhere else that the cut off
serial number was 534xxx. If true, then mine will be ok at 539xxx and
yours for sure at 54xxxx.
don.
Canon statement:

"If the serial number on the bottom of the camera is between 501001 and 546561, it could be affected by the “AF mirror adjustment issue” "

...Exactly. It reads " IT COULD BE ". That does not mean IT IS, indeed.

It is very simple. Either you are pregnant or not. "feeling" or "thinking" it is not enough.
