Light metering works very well. The exposure compensation dial is easy to reach, too.

I'm not really convinced by the image quality. Nevertheless, this is not the final production firmware, so let's not judge too hastily.

• Canon EOS 1D MkIII - First impressions
  The camera performed well for real photojournalistic work. Even without being completely familiar with the new features of the Mk III, the settings are easy to use if you know the previous 1D series cameras. But it takes real work to know whether the camera is trustworthy or not. In my opinion, it'll take at least half a year to discover all possible shortcomings. This is why I don't want to give a final opinion for this camera at the start of its career.
  
• Overview of entry-level DSLR cameras
  More than just a few people buy a top of the line DSLR as their first camera. Is this the right way to get into digital photography? Well, there are two sides to every coin. Those photographers who are willing to invest their time into learning and are really enthusiastic about photography are usually the first to find out all about the advantages, as well as the disadvantages, of using an SLR. Using the instruction manuals, Web resources and photography courses, anyone can learn a lot about photography.

• The last Canon EOS
  In 2004, Mr. Iwasaki Takaya told me to expect an EOS 3D. This would mean a new, high quality body, with 1Ds Mk II sensor, a high resolution screen and perhaps even video recording. Oh yes, it’s completely unthinkable, video in a still camera.
