To ease into the writing part of the blog, I’ll start on a subject I can talk endlessly about… photo gear. First up, the hub of a camera system: the body.

I picked up a Canon 1D Mark III a few months ago. For the most part it is a great camera. But what a rap it has taken for its focus problems. I can’t decide if it is this negative reputation that has affected the way I see my pictures or if there really were more soft images. But it did seem that I was getting more soft images than with my 1D Mark II. After Richard and Regina’s wedding, I sent the camera back for the “fix” and it seems to be better… but it is probably all in my head.

The camera otherwise is more than I could have asked for. It is responds faster, colors/WB are more accurate out of camera and can shoot over 1000 frames between charges. The live view function is actually helpful believe it or not… great for tripod and product shots (for eBay of course). I do have to say… my favorite feature over the 1D Mark II is that it is much LIGHTER! I am getting old. As I get over the stigma, I think I will grow to love this body more and more.

Well… is it sharp?
