Yellowstone with the Canon EOS-1D Mark III

Tonight I catch a plane from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. From there I’ll travel to Yellowstone National Park to attend one of Canon’s free national park photography workshops with Canon Explorer of Light photographer, Lewis Kemper. Canon has been kind enough to provide me with their current king digital SLR, the EOS-1D Mark III. We haven’t done a pro review for the 1D Mark III yet, and a workshop at Yellowstone will be a great way to get acquainted with the camera. I already shot controlled studio tests with the Mark III and am very, very impressed with the high ISO noise levels. The ISO 6400 image quality really is as good as we were told at the PMA tradeshow in March (see links below).

I’m really excited to give the 1D Mark III a full workout. After I get back from Yellowstone I’ll take it up to the Deer Valley ski area in Park City for some action photography tests with downhill mountain bike racers. I know there have been some focus-related issues with the camera and I plan to test those out, rigorously. Right now my camera doesn’t have the latest firmware. I’ll leave it as-is for the Yellowstone trip and then update it when I get back. If I encounter any problems at Yellowstone, we’ll see if the new firmware takes care of them.

Stay tuned for a full-length, hands-on pro review of the Canon EOS-1D Mark III.
