Until you experience the EOS-1D’s total performance in your hands, its specs are just numbers. It’s when you pick it up and feel its responsiveness...feel - but not hear - a USM lens zip into focus without hesitation...sense the immediacy of the shutter’s response...the almost instant mirror movement and scarcely perceptible black-out in the finder during exposure...and hear it run through frames 60% faster than any other competitive professional digital SLR* that you know you’re in the presence of something truly special. Then you realize: Canon has done it again.
[ci-contre] Camera : EOS-1D - Lens : EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L ISO Speed: 400 - Aperture : f/5.0 Shutter : 1/10000s - Exposure Mode : Aperture-priority AE
Many factors go into making this professional performance possible. Significant advances in large-volume data processing technology, a completely new imaging engine, and advancements in mirror speed technology learned during development of the 35mm EOS-1v all contribute to the EOS-1D’s speed. And incredibly, its 8 fps top shooting speed is possible both in One-Shot AF and when tracking a moving subject in AI Servo AF.
