Amazon.com Product Description
Canon EOS-1Ds is the world's highest-resolution professional digital camera, featuring the first-ever full-frame 35mm sensor with 11.1 million effective pixels. The EOS-1Ds captures astounding detail and color, almost doubling the resolution considered state of the art for a digital SLR camera in the world today (September 2002).
With its extremely high resolution, the EOS-1Ds is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of professional photographers--including studio, commercial, reportage, or fashion photography--who need the ultimate in digital image quality.
Optics
The camera's imaging engine is one of the keys to its exceptional quality. The advanced chip assembles and processes image data captured by the sensor to achieve color accuracy and wide tonal range equivalent to digitally scanned images from conventional film-based cameras.
The EOS-1Ds can capture images at approximately 3 frames per second for a 10-frame burst, even at the highest-quality setting. It also has almost three times as many pixels as the super-fast EOS-1D.
Each of the camera's 45 focusing points is linked directly to Canon's exclusive 21-zone metering system. In addition, the metering system also allows photographers to choose from center weighted, central partial, central spot, focusing-point linked spot, or multispot metering.
The EOS-1Ds features a color matrix function: Five settings provide a choice of two color spaces (standard sRGB or expanded Adobe RGB 1998) and four variations in color characteristics for sRGB. This feature applies to JPEG as well as RAW images, and allows EOS-1Ds image quality to be matched to the requirements of the subject or output device, ranging from four-color offset presses to desktop color Bubble Jet printers.
More Features
- Ability to dial in color temperatures to meet specific lighting conditions
- 10 white balance (WB) modes and WB bracketing provide maximum flexibility and superb color accuracy
- ISO speed bracketing allows you to fix aperture and shutter speeds, yet shoot at three different equivalent film speeds
- Fully compatible with all Canon EF lenses, from ultrawide-angle to super-telephoto
Image Sizes
- RAW: 11.4 MB (4,064 x 2,704 pixels)
- Large/fine: 4.1 MB (4,064 x 2,704 pixels)
- Large/normal: 1.7 MB (4,064 x 2,704 pixels)
- Small/fine: 1.4 MB (,032 x 1,352 pixels)
Storage and Transfer
The EOS-1Ds comes equipped with an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interface, allowing speedy plug-and-play data communication with computers. For studio photography, new 4.5-meter FireWire cables are available. The camera automatically formats the CF card for either FAT16 or FAT32, according to the maximum storage capacity (FAT 32 is selected for capacity higher than 2 GB).
Images are stored on CompactFlash Type I or II cards (Microdrive compatible). You can create up to 500 subfolders on each CF card with each folder storing up to 9,999 images
Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable NiHM battery pack (included). It measures 6.1 by 6.2 by 3.1 inches and weighs 44.6 ounces. This package includes the EOS-1Ds digital camera body (no lens included), NiMH battery pack (NP-E3), NiMH battery charger (NC-E2), DC coupler kit (DCK-E1), AC adapter (PA-V16), FireWire interface cable (IFC-200D6), neck strap, hand strap, eyecup (EC-II), EOS Digital Solutions CD-ROM, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE CD-ROM.

Excellent digital system.......2007-08-08
This is an incredible peice of digital equipment and has more features than the space shuttle. It is most definitely a camera for a younger man however because it's HEAVY, especially with the 70-200 f/28 mounted. I can't imagine lugging around the really LONG lenses. I wore it around my neck for an entire day during a recent shoot and conlcuded that it would be best used in a studio environment on a tripod, or at least a monopod. I have owned several 35mm film cameras and at least seven different digital cameras including Kyocera, Epson, Olympus (2 different models, C2500L & E-10) and finally three Canons: the EOS 1Ds 11.1mp, the Powershot G7 10.1mp, and now the 5D 12.1mp. So far the last two have been the best for my purposes. The quality of course is in the glass, but the artistry is up to the photographer and so far Canon has delivered the very best I could hope for. EOS is an awesome system and the 1DS, aside from the weight is one of the very best.
11 Mega Pixels is not a random number!.......2004-11-27
I've recently learned some interesting detail that came from a talented amateur photographer. A friend of mine from work, had done a number of spectacular scenic shots. He thought to enter some of the better ones into a professional competition. While he had a good Cannon digital, (I believe it was a 7 or 8 mp) requirements for digital are 11 mp minimums. While expanding the lower resolution is allowed, it would still fall a bit short (since it only allows a certain percentage). It seems that professional film use cameras, typically deliver the equivalent of 20 mp. The proper film is expensive, and getting it developed is not as easy as taking it to the local Photomat.
I know computers and software. My programming exploits placed me for a time at Polaroid ID systems. Polaroid ID, (prior to its sale by the parent company in 2001) produced drivers licenses, and ID card solutions, for more than half the United States, plus several countries. I have a background in video games programming by training. What I can tell you from this is that you need a fast processor to create, and store an image 11 mp in size. Cannon's custom processor seems to be up to the task. My friend told me his current camera used the same processor, and produced the highest resolution shots in about 1/5th of a second. This model does about three continuous shots per second. While not quite film or motion capture speed, it's still good enough not to inhibit your creativity.
If photography is a serious hobby, or you are a budding professional, this might just be your camera. Existing professionals will probably make up their own minds on when to jump to digital, and what equipment best meets their needs. Cannons entry here seems reasonable for a quality digital camera. You may see many other cameras pump up their numbers in a race to get the higher resolutions. They seem to be bristling with bells and whistles. There's a not so subtle difference with a professional model like this. That being it has features for professional imaging and the speed of getting to that next high quality shot.
The other cameras will raise the bar one day, but for now they are best used by non-professionals. If you compare the camera's specifications, you'll find speed, and feature limitations on those cheaper models. This is not the camera to take on that vacation to the mountains. A good four-mega pixel model will keep all your family photo albums up to date. If however, your vision for looking at the world through the camera's eye extends beyond that, this may be the camera for you. BTW, remember this is a body only, you buy your optics separately, and it's not advisable to go cheap either.
If you don't want to limit your creativity ... this is it........2004-06-02
After years of being a very faithful Sony user (I still like Sony and their products) I finally did the big leap, as in my mind the technology is finally there ... I bought a Canon EOS-1Ds 11.1 Megapixel camera body. Out of necessity I had to buy a set of EF lenses as well. I spent this years toy budget on just one purchase, but then THIS IS NOT TOY!
My last Sony was a F828 and before that a P10. The F828 is a great consumer product for the price, but it actually made me do the leap as good as it is, as it brought back my spirit for creating a REALLY good picture. I started to spend so much time to get to the right photo spot at the right time, that I did not want to have a lack of functionality then. I used to do a lot of photography 20 years ago on film, but returned as a point and shoot fotographer when digital came about. To say it with fellow countryman 'Arnie' - "I'm back."
First I need to say that all Amazon partnershops performed and delivered flawlessly, my special mention goes to Adorama Camera. I would usually be worried to spend so much money on the web, but Amazon takes that away.
Now to the 'beast' itself the EOS-1Ds body. I will not go into all the functional details, as to my mind they are all correct as stated. The camera is great to hold and work with total confidence. But at first - big disappointment. I was unable to concentrate on working with a professional camera. I was too used to point and shoot and expected the camera to do it all for me. Well, it does not. You need to know or learn photography for this one. It is now four weeks and 2500 pictures later and finally there is only one reason for a photo not to be perfect - ME!
Biggest difference to other products is the film-size 24x36 CCD and the ability to set the ASA film sensitivity up to 1250 on the fly rather than having to change film. Not always is a tripod at hand or the photo subject would wait until you set it up and then hold still for a 2 second exposure. I could not ask the helicopter pilot to stop the vibration during a dawn flight over the Las Vegas Strip. Setting to ASA1250 shortened exposure time to s/50. The picture noise that you get as a consequence is dramatically reduced by the noise reduction feature and much less than the grain of a high-sensitivity film.
Cautions and recommendations: Learning how to clean the sensor from dust and dirt without damaging it is essential. This camera is VERY heavy you will need a strong tripod to hold it. Buy a second battery, even so the charging is quick and it usually lasts for two normal days of use. Using a CF card reader is easier than buying a Firwire attachment for your PC. Use 2GB high-speed Compactflash for convenience, it will give you 400 pictures in JPG. Feel free to send me questions, which I will answer as much as I can.
Prosumer.......2004-01-04
I have shot 35mm for 30 years and paid for the best prints from the best labs and they just can't compare with high end digital prints. The detail goes way beyond 35mm and easily challenges medium format. I am still learning color manipulation on the computer and occasionally I get better color from a Velvia slide - which I am now shooting with the same Canon lenses and a 1v body - but overall it is becoming increasingly clear that film is as dead as video tape and vinyl records. I traded up to the 1Ds from a D60, which also produced prints much better than 35mm. The drawback to the D60 was a poor autofocus and a less than full frame sensor, which limits the use of wide angle lenses for landscape photos. The 1Ds solves those problems and potentially makes larger format cameras obsolete at the same time.
The only problem I have found is that the 45 sensor autofocus setting does not work with a very wide angle (16mm or 15mm fisheye) lens. For some reason, it won't focus at infinity. Switching to the center only focus sensor solves the problem. The 1v and Elan 7 do the same thing.
Holy Cow !!!.......2003-11-05
Our rep brought an EOS-1Ds into the lab for us to look at last week. I'm still pouring over the test bench and outdoor images with my jaw on the floor. I'll never be able to afford this beauty, but if we see the technology of the 1Ds make it into the prosumer market, I'll make the jump. Many of the so-called limitations of digital photography have been directly addressed in the design of the 1Ds.
For example, the small physical dimensions of consumer camera CCDs have limited the performance of many cameras. It's nearly impossible to collect and focus light onto a small CCD with inexpensive optics. Canon uses a larger size CCD in the 1Ds. That upgrade, plus having the CCD house 11 megapixels makes this camera instantly competitive with 35 mm film. Note, I'm not yet ready to say it's the equivalent, but it's so close now that the few advantages of film have much less leverage now. The future is here and it is now. If only I had 8 grand in my pocket...
I didn't have enough time with the 1Ds to get to know all of the bells and whistles, but did find it easy enough to use by just trusting my intuition. I'm looking at the nice collection of Canon 35 mm lenses I already own (which will fit the 1Ds) and my palms are sweating. Maybe I could sell a few of the toys I don't use much and eat macaroni and cheese for a few years?

Customer Reviews:
summer with grandma.......2007-08-08
It is a great gadget to have for the summer. I love the size of it. I am glad I purchased it. I enjoy having it at my gradma's house this summer. She does not have to listen to loud music since I have my Ipod.:)
lasts about 2yrs.......2007-05-14
bought 3 years ago. battery always sucked but entire thing died today (despite trying all the "trouble-shooting" tips Apple offers on website). very disappointing considering i paid $300 bucks for 3 years ago. AVOID simply for the miserably short battery life alone. almost missing my old walkman.
Not a very good ipod.......2007-04-20
I had my ipod mini for about 1 year before it crashed and I had to get it fixed for 50 dollars. Not a big deal. But then a few months later it crashed again and this time I decided that it would be better to get a ipod nano instead of paying 50 dollars every month it crashes. I never dropped it and I never got water on it but it still broke.
iPOD.......2007-03-26
I had to replace it because it crashed on me and I only had it for about 5 months.
It's an IPOD... .......2007-03-21
If you ar reading this, then perhaps this is would be your first IPOD you've ever purchased. Because, there is nothing different about this Ipod than the others. it's a very nice MP3 Player. All of the Ipods are. If 4GB is enough space for you, then this is a great device to play your music.

Aiwa AJ 700 System.......2001-10-18
I purchased this unit after my old system I'd had since 1993 died on me... I shopped locally and online and came across the Aiwa AJ 300, as nice as that one seemed the AJ-700 clearly came across as a better system. The unit has a clock feature which is nice little extra but it even has timed programming options... as well as "timer playback" (alarm) capabilities. Granted not the main reason anyone buys a system but a nice touch none the less.
The sound quality is excellent on this unit, it doesn't matter if your listening to AM/FM radio, tape or CD the sound quality is remarkable. Instead of low, medium and loud sound settings you have various grades in between which bring subtle changes overall. The CD player takes a little getting used to, think of it as a triangle in terms of when you put your discs in. Taking them out requires a bit of care at first so you don't bang them against the machine itself.
The unit can be operated by remote or by a nifty little front pannel which folds up during the time's powered off. The front pannel has a skip track feature which is nice, just rotate it one time and it goes to the next track. Reminescent of some DVD players out there, the unit also has a blank skip feature that takes cd's to the next track. So if your tired of hearing blank spots between tracks this takes care of that. The materials on the box and owners manual talk about the unit capable of playing CD/R's, I'll have to try that out when I get my disc's back. If it works as well as it does with Analaog and Digital CD's it should be great.
The remote itself won't win any awards for ergonomics but it is laid out amongst the familiar lines we've seen before. It gets the job done though. Takes two AA batteries which are of course not provided, so better stock up if you buy this one.
All in all the unit is one I like, I wish I didn't have to go into work so I could have more time to play with it!
