I'm not going to review the camera because if you're looking at this package you probably already know about the camera.

The contents of the package are an exceptional value. I was a bit confused about the exact contents due to some in consistencies.

I was a bit confused about why they would highlight the fact they were giving you a battery, but as I assumed it came with an EXTRA battery. NICE!

The major confusion came from the 70-300mm lens. Under Technical Details it says the lens is Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G Zoom Lens Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Nikkor SLR Camera Lens(this is the correct lens) but under the Product Description it says Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S. This lens is NOT and AF-S lens and requires a pin driven auto-focus and this lens is DEFINATELY not IF and doesn't include ED glass elements. The lens protrudes a good bit when zoomed all the way.

The vendor for this product is excellent and responed to my query about the lens in a timely mannor. I didn't see fit to down rate the product due to the small discrepency with the product description. I just wanted to provide clarification to any other perspective buyers.

Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

I have owned the Mark III for a little over a year. Not long after receiving it, it quit. I sent it in for a "mirror magnet" problem. After I got it back I would get an Err99 almost daily. I documented it with Canon. It would happen most often when I turned it on for the first time. After several conversations with Canon, I sent it in and they replaced the mirror box. It has not had an Err 99 since then.

The camera was purchased as a "Blue Dot", meaning it had been fixed for the original focus issues some people were reporting. Since the second repair it has functioned flawlessly and now focuses to meet anyone's reasonable expectations. I get 80% to 90% in-focus. In most of the out of focus photos there was a legitimate reason. I can see this when I check my photos in Canon's Zoom Browser. I can see where the camera was focused at the time of shutter release. It is easy to miss a shot on a fast moving object by missing the subject or hitting a different part of the subject. Often times it would be the focus changing from head to hip (on a running dog), not the camera's fault but mine.

There are many settings on this camera to fine tune it to your way of shooting and the shooting situation. I have gotten some awesome action shots from this camera and am very pleased with it.

Canon clearly brought this camera to market too soon. It was not tested properly or either production standards were not watched. I would bet that the parts they were producing were not meeting the standards of their research and development, plus the conditions that caused a problem may not have been reproduced in test. This clearly threw Canon for a loop and they did a poor job managing public relations. I am surprised there has not been a class action lawsuit since so many pros use this camera. Some have toughed it out; those who had a lot of money went to Nikon, which is currently hitting it with some good cameras, something Canon normally is known for.

If you are buying a Mark III now, you are more than likely going to be blown-away by such a great camera that focuses and gives you shots you never imagined. I love shooting it and learning to fine-tune it for particular shooting circumstance.

Working as it works now, I would purchase it again.Buy Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)!
