fields of rye....

I recently rented a Canon 1Ds Mark III 21MP camera. Although I like the quality of shot, and the detail that can be taken, it was frustrating to use in other ways, making it hard to justify the $8,0000 (body only) price tag.

For the shot below I used the RAW format for image quality and had a 16-35 lens attached. It did a great job of capturing the scene, which had many different types of textures present in the image.

If canon would streamline your ability to change the manual focus points faster, i would seriously give it another look, but for now, it's just not the right camera for us.

Dang, that grass is almost as high as the price tag!

Nice shot, though...

$80000 for the body alone! I could see 75k but not 80. :)

That's a pretty good shot there. ;)
