EOS Integrated Cleaning System
To help reduce retouching time the Rebel T1i features an EOS Integrated Cleaning System that combats dust through the use of high-frequency vibrations that shake dust loose from the sensors front-mounted IR filter every time you power up and power down.  Click here for more info!

Anti-static coatings
There are also anti-static coatings on the low-pass filter to keep it shmutz-free, and a body cap designed not to ’shed’ particles that can possibly find their way into the mirror chamber.  Click here for more info!

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
To better enable successful imaging under the most challenging of lighting conditions, the camera’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor allows you to set the ISO rating from ISO 100 through 3200 in standard mode and from 6400 to 12,800 in expanded mode. Canon’s powerful DIGIC 4 Image Processor makes it possible to quickly (and accurately) process large volumes of 14-bit image data for output in the form of high quality, noise-free still and video imagery.

The EOS-1Ds Mark III digital SLR camera from Canon gives you a crisp and sharper focus than you could ever have imagined. The EOS-1Ds Mark III is compact and light, but is also versatile enough to take out of the studio and into the studio. This camera’s fast, five-frame-per-second shooting rate for bursts of up to 56 Large/Fine JPEGS or 12 raw images is unmatched by any other camera in its class. The EOS-1D features a large 3.0 inch LCD monitor with live view function, and a fast, accurate 45-point AF system. Click here for more info!

This camera is part of the unparalleled EOS system, which features more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, making it the most powerful and advanced digital system in the world. The newest CMOS sensor delivers 21.1 effective megapixels that produce high resolution images. Despite the higher pixel density, the CMOS sensor technology ensures low noise and the widest usable ISO range. Click here for more info!

Dual DIGIC III image processors
The EOS-1Ds Mark III has two identical DIGIC III imaging engines for parallel signal processing. The CMOS sensor read out to the dual “DIGIC III” processors simultaneously in eight channels. DIGIC III is the next generation of Canon’s proprietary image processing engine. This technology ensures the fine details and natural colors of images are optimally recorded and are responsible for the EOS-1Ds Mark III SLR’s high-speed performance, faster signal processing, and more efficient energy consumption. Click here for more info!

Integrated cleaning system
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features a complete dust management solution called the integrated cleaning system. The new CMOS image sensor has an infrared absorption glass cover that vibrates for 3.5 seconds when the camera is turned on or off. Dust that has been shaken or blown loose is trapped by adhesive surfaces surround the sensors unit housing, which assures that the dust doesn’t get into the filter itself when the camera moves. This camera also has a durability rating of 300,000 cycles, which allows it to generate less dust but also charge itself three times during the manual cleaning process. There is also a software solution that traces the location of any spots that may remain on the sensor. This software creates mapping information that is saved as a dust delete data and attached to the image file. Oddly enough when using the digital photo sof tware provided the dust information is subtracted from the image during post processing. Click here for more info!

Unbeatable resolution
The EOS-1D’s Mark III has an all new full-size 36 x 24-millimeter CMOS image sensor which offers the best and highest resolution available in its class. It is topped off with 21.1 million effective pixels which set at a pitch of 6.4 microns. As a user, you can select any of six recording formats ranging from 21.0 megapixels in large JPEG or RAW format, 16.6 or 11.0 megapixels in the two medium JPEG sizes, or 5.2 megapixels in the small JPEG or “Sraw” formats. In JPEG format, you can set one of ten compression rates for each image and in sRAW mode, the number of pixels is reduced to ? that of a standard RAW image. Click here for more info!
