I. OVERVIEW

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, brother of the EOS-1D Mark II and

autofocus system, E-TTL II flash system, extensive controls,

rugged chassis and shutter with the EOS-1D Mark II, the professional standard for

sports, news, fashion, wedding and portrait photographers worldwide.

This commonality of parts has enabled Canon to offer a vastly improved camera for the

same price as its 11.1 megapixel predecessor. For approximately $8,000, the 1Ds Mark

II equals, and surpasses in many respects, the performance of digital camera backs that

cost $16,000 and up, plus the purchase of a medium format body. Then factor in the

limited selection and expense of medium format lenses and accessories and the

inconvenient add-ons most backs require. At $7,999, the 1Ds Mark II may not be

inexpensive, but it is a sensational deal.

The EOS-1Ds Mark II will appeal immediately to photographers who do commercial

product shots, stock photography, portraits and landscape work. Wedding

photographers who sell large prints, or who have wanted to, and magazine

photographers shooting covers, full-page layouts and centerfolds will love it, too.

Photographers who have used the EOS-1Ds will be delighted with the new resolution of

the 1Ds Mark II, but they will find the new speed and ease of operation a pleasure as

well. It is likely that the steady rate of conversion of pros from other systems will

continue and possibly accelerate.

I. OVERVIEW

successor to the EOS-1Ds, is the new flagship of the Canon

line of digital single lens reflex cameras and the absolute

pinnacle of D-SLR design and performance.

The Canon-designed and manufactured full-frame CMOS

sensor has 16.7 megapixels, the highest resolution unit in

any digital SLR on the market. Complete, in-house control

has made it technically and economically feasible for

Canon to produce a sensor of such prowess.

Amazingly, the 1Ds Mark II is lithe and responsive. Canon

has given it the processing power and write speeds

necessary to handle the enormous files it records so

effortlessly. The EOS-1Ds Mark II can fire bursts of 32

JPEGs or 11 RAW frames at 4 frames-per-second. It starts

from OFF in 0.3 second and has a shutter delay as low as

40ms. The 1Ds Mark II shares its exceptional 45-point
