 Canon professional digital SLR
The judges were unanimous in their praise for Canon’s flagship digital SLR camera, the 16.7 Megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark II. Describing the camera as “the real sensation of the year,” the judges remarked that the camera has “pushed digital photography to a new level.” They observed that its full frame 16.7mp. CMOS sensor produces “amazing output (that) not only enables print-sizes up to 60 x 90 cm, but also ensures that professionals can safely crop images without the fear of losing quality.”

The judges were also enthusiastic about the full format sensor of the EOS 1Ds Mark II, noting that “in addition to the awesome file sizes, its 24 x 36 mm CMOS sensor is a true full-frame, so keeps the focal lengths of lenses exactly equivalent to those of 35mm film SLRs.” This is seen as a “huge advantage to users of wide-angle lenses, and the large viewfinder image that results gives professional photographers the clarity they need for critical composition and focusing.” The image processing of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II camera was described as being “second-to-none, offering excellent detail at high sensitivity.” The EOS 1Ds Mark II is available now for £5999.99 / ?8699.99 RRP inc. VAT.
