Based on the very successful EOS 1D, but with an 11.1 megapixel sensor, this new camera offers a real alternative to film in studios and on location The EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds are based on the same digital camera body, and share many features and a similar operation. However, the 4.15 megapixel sensor and 8fps shooting of the EOS-1D makes it ideal for news and sports photographers, while the 11.1 megapixel sensor and 3fps shooting of the EOS-1Ds will appeal to a very broad spectrum of professionals, including advertising and fashion photographers. The new camera incorporates a full-frame CMOS sensor developed and manufactured by Canon. With a size of 24 x 36mm, it covers the same area as a film frame. This makes maximum use of the standard angle-of-view of EF lenses, especially the wide-angle series. The RAW recording file produces an image file size of 11.4MB, yet despite this size, the 3fps shooting rate can be maintained for up to 10 shots in a single burst. The camera will also generate RAW and JPEG files at the same time, if required, without any discernible loss of speed or burst length. Download Canon EOS 1Ds Manual Software Firmware here
