Canon 1D Mark III

July3

I was secretely looking for a replacement for my trusted Canon EOS 30D. The Canon 1D Mark IIn was looking rather good. Not too pricey on the used market, decent specifications, basically the same sensor technology as my 30D.

But then I stumbled upon an ad by someone selling her Canon 1D Mark III to go full-frame. The price was good, and the camera turned out to be in perfect condition. So I spent a little more than expected, but I’m now the proud owner of the Canon EOS 1D Mark III.

This thing should be great for shooting sporting events at the next Campzone, and ISO performance is absolutely amazing for indoor shots.

What is a fair price for a used 1D Mark III in good condition?

Hey Arie,

The 1Ds is the camera you want for sporting events, but I understand your argument that the 1D is better then your old 30D

10FPS beats 5FPS for sporting events.
