CANON EOS-1 Ds DIGITAL CAMERA - JAPAN - CIRCA 2002

WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY AND CHARGER.

The EOS-1Ds is a full-frame 11.1-megapixel digital SLR camera body made by Canon in the 1Ds series, released on 24 September 2002. It was Canon's first full-frame DSLR. Its dimensions are 156 x 157.6 x 79.9 mm -6.1 x 6.2 x 3.1 in., and mass -without a battery- is 1,265 g.
The ~11 megapixel, full size 35mm digital camera was far ahead of other cameras counting usually much fewer megapixels, and having smaller size frame. The price was $7,999 in 2002 -equivalent to $13,014 in 2022.
Being an autofocus camera, it has two autofocus modes, and an option for manual focusing. Its viewfinder is a glass pentaprism. It also has a two-inch, thin-film transistor, color liquid-crystal monitor with approximately 120,000 pixels.

The camera's image sensor is a CMOS-based integrated circuit with Bayer filters for RGB color detection - Canon calls it single-plate, in contrast with three-CCD sensors. It has approximately 11.4 million effective pixels. A non-removable optical anti-aliasing filter is located in front of the image sensor.

The shutter is an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter. Its maximum speed is 1/8,000 of one second. Soft-touch shutter release occurs via an electromagnetic signal.

The EOS 1Ds was a large, professionally-oriented DSLR introduced by Canon in 2002. Historically this is a significant camera, being the first successful digital SLR based around a 24x36mm - a..k.a full frame - sensor chip. The full-frame Contax N Digital appeared earlier; but its problems drove Contax from the DSLR market entirely.

The eleven-megapixel resolution of the 1Ds was considered quite groundbreaking in its day. The ISO range has been reduced compared to the cropped sensor version, it is from 100 to 1250 ISO in most modes, but an ISO 50 can be used in custom functions. It is the same for the shutter speed, with fastest at 1/8,000 of a sec and the flash sync at 1/250 while the 1D has 1/1600 shutter and with 1/500 for flash sync. It has playback zoom function that the 1D lack. The 1Ds shares the integral bottom grip, rugged build, and full weather-sealing with the EOS-1D which preceded it. It was replace by the EOS-1Ds Mark II in 2004.
