My new toy arrived !!!

Go to last post
ok, now get off of that lazy hammock and show us some serious photos taken with that new toy, the 1dmklll :D ;)

cheerz.
 
I've been considering trading up my 40D for a 1DIII, keeping my 5D. I can't really justify it just yet, but it seems like a perfect match for the weddings I do on the side and obviously a great match for the rare action I like to shoot. I really like the look of the 1DIII files.

has this one had the sub mirror fix? I understand that the 1D3 had quite a lot of focus issues, but if you find a good one, its very good. I personally would have gone for a Mk2N.

I'm hoping to get the EF 300mm F4 lens that I bought, in order to use the camera. I bought the camera and now I have other lenses. I am photographing football.

Owned the 1D3 for a while, great camera! Only 10Mp but lovely files and blazing fast AF and FPS and the battery lasts forever . I swapped out my system setup and no longer own it, but great little camera - just practice with the AF modes, as it takes a while to get a handle on how to set the camera up.

That's a beaty Pedro! I got a well used 1DIII last nov. and have hardly touched my 50D since I got it. : ) I have gradually sold almost all my pentax gear for lenses I couldn't get in K mount, and because of a service problem.

Neither of those cameras look like they have ever taken a photo.

Time to get out of the hammock and beat them up some taking photos. LOL!

My Pentax k 5 is now with 35,519 shots and Canon 1D Mark III's with 40,148 shots.

I sold my Pentax K10D in March 2011 with 74,200 shots.

That's 126 frames a day! Hope you got Some good shots! Post a few. Any trouble with the focus?
 
126 a day?

With a MKIII you easily do that in 5-10 mins if you're covering certain types of sport. It's there to be "used".

I agree, and I know 1 series is better built. I managed to machine gun my 40D into an early grave. The shutter anyway. Just cos you can shoot 10fps, dont meen you have to!

40D? Not in the same league sorry.

The 10 fps is there for a reason - to be used - whenever you need it.

I just picked up a used 1D mkiii last month for only $1600. Best purchase I have made in a while. I'm shooting weddings with that and a 7d for now, will replace the 7d for the next 5d model when it comes out. Look and see if your 1D has a blue dot on the bottom. If not, call Canon and have them fix the sub mirror assembly right away. It's free, they will send you a free shipping label to have it sent to them. I should be getting mine back within the next couple days. My camera looks pretty beat up, but it has less than 10k shutter actuations.
