With its superior low noise performance and Full HD movie recording capability, the EOS 5D Mark II is a remarkable camera that raises the bar for image quality in the EOS system. However, the EOS-1Ds Mark III still has the edge over the 5D Mark II in the following areas:
* More durable camera body with better weather resistance. (5D Mark II has better weather sealing than 5D or 50D, but not as good as the Mark III SLRs.)
* 300,000 cycle shutter durability vs. 150,000
* Dual memory card slots
* 100% viewfinder at .76x magnification vs. 98% viewfinder at .71x magnification
* Longer lasting battery (1700 shots per charge vs. 850)
* 45-point AF sensor with 19 high-precision cross-type AF points vs. 15-point AF sensor with 1 high-precision cross-type AF point
* 15 interchangeable focusing screens vs. 3
* 5 fps vs. 3.9 fps
* X-sync 1/250 vs. 1/200
* Shutter lag and blackout between frames is 55 ms/87 ms for 1Ds Mark III vs. 73 ms/145 ms for 5D Mark II
There are other feature differences in favor of the 1Ds Mark III, but these are some of the biggies. They're basically two different kinds of cameras that are targeted towards different market segments.
