So, my first shoot with the 1Ds MKIII was Actress Tiffany Dupont from the ABC tv show Greek: http://www.nickonken.com/Stories/TiffanyDupont/ Someone asked for a review of the camera, and I can tell you thus far I dig it. What's not to like right? (except for the fact that about 1000 images equals about 28GB of HD space) Do note that the comments below are in comparison to my now backup camera the 1Ds MKII.
A few random comments about it:
The shutter has a lovely harder crunch than the 1Ds MKII. The 3 inch screen is fantastic although the color of the images on the screen aren't too attractive. They look amazing on the computer though. There are a few buttons that are a bit different than the MKII, but that you can just get used to using. The controls are more like the 5D and you don't have to hold down an extra button to scroll through photos. Definitely nice. I don't shoot tethered much at all, but from what I hear the USB connection used with a mac is a bit of an issue. It's really slow. The sync cord plug is a little loose, so you need a piece of tape to hold it in. A little ghetto if you ask me. The ability to shoot small RAW is fantastic for shoots that you'll never need to go huge with and want to save your HD space. The self cleaning sensor. Fantastic. When you turn on the camera a nice little "sensor cleaning" splash comes up. It's a nice feeling since my MKII is dirtier than a third world country. The battery supposedly last 4000 shots which I'd believe since I shot about 1000 on this shoot and the battery bar went down about quarter. The higher ISO's are pretty clean.
That's it for now. Probably more to come.
I want to see more pictures! :)

great shoot man. love the images!
I thought they would have fixed that bad lcd, like the previous 1D mark3. files look great though.

Really beautiful images, Nick. I really like the unencumbered feel to the images inside. Nothing like natural light...

Who has not dreamt of suddenly finding out that he or she is actually someone special and famous?

This gives us a tool to better investigate this brain circuitry and try to figure out more drugs that do the same. We are trying a couple of compounds right now on animals but it is at a very preliminary stage.
