The EOS-1Ds is an 11.1-megapixel full-frame digital SLR camera body made by Canon in the 1Ds series, released on 24 September 2002[3] as Canon's first full-frame DSLR.[4] Its dimensions are 156 x 157.6 x 79.9 mm (6.1 x 6.2 x 3.1 in.); weight without a battery is 1,265 g.[1]

The ~11 megapixel, full size 35mm digital camera had higher megapixel resolution and larger frame size than most others. The price was US$7,999 in 2002[5] (equivalent to $13,984 in 2024).

Functions

[edit]

The camera 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 camera has an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter with maximum speed 1/8,000 of a second. Soft-touch shutter release is implemented electrically.
