Canon EOS 5D SLR 0296B013 User Manual

Camera: EOS-1Ds Mark II

Lens: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM

My main concern with any camera system is having a wide array of lenses available

that are manufactured to professional standards. I love using extreme wide-angle lenses

and the full frame chip on the EOS-1Ds Mark II allows me to utilize all of the EOS lenses

to their full potential. The creation of this particular photograph was immeasurably faster

than previously possible thanks to Canon’s superior use of emerging technology. We

were in a studio in a controlled lighting situation, wired to the internet with the art

director hundreds of miles away. We were able to capture and send shots instantly, 

and the art director evaluated

and approved the image in 

minutes. The Canon EOS-1Ds

Mark II connected to a computer

or a network is a remarkable

platform for photography in this

digital age.”

The Ultimate in
Resolution.

The EOS-1Ds Mark II 

captures more pixels than 

the competition, quickly

delivering a high-resolution

photograph without equal.

The 1Ds Mark II’s 16.7

Megapixel full-size CMOS

sensor captures 4992 x 3328

pixels, enough resolution for

almost anything. In addition,

with ISO ratings of 50-3200,

combined with Canon’s noise

reduction technology for an

incredibly low signal to noise

ratio, there’s almost nowhere

this sensor won’t perform.

The 1Ds Mark II can take full

advantage of Canon’s array of

EF lenses, as its sensor is the

same size as a traditional film

SLR, meaning no focal length

conversion factor—lenses

will have the same view they

would on a 35mm camera.

The 1Ds Mark II can also be

shot at lower resolutions to

conserve space on memory

cards if large images are not

the priority of the shoot.
