  • The Imaging Resource

    Canon EOS-1DS

    It has by far the highest resolution sensor available for the Canon lens mount. This will likely open new doors for Canon SLRs, as there's plenty of resolution here for even the most demanding two-page catalog spreads, or large-format commercial portraits. Read more

    Canon EOS-1Ds Review

Canon's ""1"" SLR's have always represented the most prestigious and highest quality of their time and the EOS-1Ds certainly lives up to that billing, it also breaks barriers, it's the first released digital SLR with double figure effective pixel count and it's also one of the first released digital SLR's with a full 35 mm size sensor (Contax's N Digital has been in and out of release status).The full size sensor means several things, firstly that the field of view of a lens used on the EOS-1Ds is identical to the same lens used on a 35 mm film SLR.

If anyone is still saying that they're waiting for digital cameras to catch up to film then they haven't seen or used the Canon EOS-1Ds yet! Read more
