The Canon EOS-1D, Digital SLR Camera
Placed in Canon |
|
The Canon EOS-1D was introduced last year, it was the earliest professional digital SLR since the EOS-D2000 which was a collaboration with Kodak. The EOS-1Ds covers almost each other type of photography, from landscape to portrait, photo journalism to weddings. This camera body is based around the EOS-1V professional film SLR. The base of the camera include the large battery pack and allows for the integration of a vertical (portrait) hand grip and control system. Build quality is excellent, the entire body moulded from magnesium alloy with environmental seals around every compartment door, terminal, connector and button.
The images from the camera right out of the box are spectacular. Even leaving the Canon EOS-1D on the default Color Matrix 1 and just firing away yielded brilliant colors and superb detail. Canon should be commended for optimizing the “out of box” skill so photographers can pick up their camera, shoot with it, and create good images without changing any settings on the camera or further processing the images on their computer. To get color as good from my D1X or D1H I need to use a custom profile or a color managed workflow.
Otherwise anyone shooting people with the camera will probably want to invest in a custom profile to correct this condition. The Canon EOS-1D has the usual set of white balance presets, but also includes an option for dialing in your favorite 3 white balance settings or reading the white balance from a gray card or another image.
