An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.  Item Includes Canon EOS 1Ds Digital camera body LP-E4 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery LC-E4 Battery Charger ACK-E4 AC Adapter CR2025 Lithium Battery (backup battery) IFC-200U USB Cable IFC-500U Interface Cable VC-100 Video Cable L6 Wide Neck Strap Eg Eyecup EOS Digital Solutions Software CD-ROM Instruction Manual on CD-ROM Software Instruction Manual 1-Year Canon U.S.A.
