1d mk2 does not have digic III processor. You probably meant 1d mk3?

Anyway, does anyone have a price guide from Japan and Hong Kong?

Hmmm I went down to Harvey Norman Funan in the evening to pick up my Ixus 860IS today and I saw the 1Ds MkIII being delivered to them. Out of curiousity I ask the salesman (Bernard and Jason) whether the camera is for sale and they said yes. The retail price is S$12999. To those Canon User out there who can't wait to get their hands on the camera can try calling them to reserve the camera.

Curiously, how much am I looking at if I were to acquire this Canon 1Ds II system with all the following lenses by SIGMA?

> 10 - 20mm
> 18 - 200mm
> 20mm
> 15mm fisheye
> 50mm
> 105mm
> 70-300mm
> 170-500mm

Would appreciate an estimate including a dedicated Canon flash...

With the money u intend to invest into the sigma system, i personally would go for Canon lens. the most sacrifice a bit on the tele end.

Why would you want to use third party options with the top end body?

I agree. For consumer grade lens third party lens do give canon a real tough fight for the same pricing however when it comes to 1Ds MkIII which will require the best out of a lens due to full frame and it 21 mp, best is stick to L series of lenses.

get canon L lens and use them on 5D would be better than using Sikma lens on 1DsII i think

 

[monscine]

hmmm...i wonder how it's gonna be when this 1ds mk3 attach with 200mm/f1.8....

 

[xunjas]

with a top notch body, i would go for professional canon lenses instead of third party ones..

It's already awesome with the 1dmkII and 200mm 1.8 :thumbsup:

Saw another review with good sample pict for 1Ds mk III & D3. The sample shows really impressive ISO3200 noise & the amount of details. If downsized to D3 size, I suspect the noise will melt to nothing... Totally cool !

200 1.8 is exceptional on ANY EOS body.

:bsmilie::sweatsm:
it's like buying a top end BMW and put in cheap taiwanese sport rims and tyres ....

but there are ppl who buy top end sport rims and tyres on cheap Protons ...:think:, which is like buying the ef200mm f1.8L with a 400D body ....:sweat:
