The Canon EOS-1Ds is a professional digital AF SLR camera developed primarily for studio photographers, who demand the highest image quality. Featuring a newly developed full-frame 35 mm CMOS sensor (35.8 x 23.8 mm), the EOS-1Ds enables users to fully utilize the angles of view offered by the entire range of Canon EF lenses, permitting unrestricted lens performance on par with current 35 mm SLR cameras. The EOS-1Ds combines the high resolution of 11.1 million effective pixels with an RGB primary color filter to realize finely detailed images of the highest quality among digital AF SLR cameras. Further satisfying the needs of professional users, Canon's proprietary high-performance Imaging Engine digital signal processor realizes a high signal-to-noise ratio, fine detail and natural color for film-quality images, and achieves high image-processing speeds for exceeding responsiveness. Built for reliability even under the harshest of shooting conditions, the external covers and chassis of the EOS-1Ds are made of magnesium alloy for a lightweight but highly rigid body. Also, the seams of moving parts are sealed for outstanding resistance against dust and moisture. The EOS-1Ds inherits the outstanding usability and functionality of Canon's current high-end professional SLR camera models-the highly acclaimed EOS-1D and EOS-1V. Advanced features include: 45-point autofocus; a 21-point evaluative metering system; 10 White Balance settings for maximum control of color balance; a Color Matrix function with five settings, allowing image quality to be matched to the requirements of the subject or output device; and 21 Custom Functions/26 Personal Functions for fine-tuning various camera settings.
