After Amazon spilt the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is now official, complete with its dual Digic III processors and ultra-low noise full-frame 21.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. It can capture five images per second up to 56 JPEGs or 12 RAWs and, hopefully, the auto-focus on this one will work fine. Full official specs, price and back image after the jump.
