Still to this day, I use and love the 5D Mark III – and most, if not all pictures on my website currently were taken with one of the 5 I have had over the last 5 years!Īs a wedding photographer, I am quite heavy-handed with my kit – it gets taken through rain, sand, mud, gravel with me – and it needs to work and work and work. The 5D Mark II was not a bad camera by any stretch, but it had real limitations – all of which Canon listened to their customers feedback – and produced the “ultimate” camera in the 5D Mark III. Years later, somewhere around 2012, Canon announced the 5D Mark III – which basically was the “wedding photographers dream camera” – it ticked every single box that I, and millions of other photographers, wanted. Canon now had the 1Ds Mark III which was soon replaced with a Mark IV. The 1Ds Mark II from 2004 was now becoming a piece of history, as technology continued to fly forwards at an alarming pace. This was the camera that really turned my photography from a hobby into a career, and my pictures began getting better and better as I learnt more about photography, lenses, light and the camera. This camera was technically superior to the 1DsII from a few years ago, and the price tag of £1,999 was more within my reach – so I set my goals on this being the camera that would take my photography forwards, and a year or so later, I managed to purchase a 5D Mark II. Technology was fast moving forwards, and Canon were now announcing their forthcoming Canon 5D Mark II. Over the next few years, my interest continued to grow, and the 40D was still going strong. This camera was so far out of my price range (£4,799!!) that I never ever considered it, but I was absolutely fascinated by it. Whilst browsing photography forums and discussion groups, there was lots of talk of Canon’s latest flagship camera, the Canon 1Ds Mark II – which was by all accounts, the best camera in the world. After enjoying that camera for a year, learning all about it, I soon wanted to upgrade to something more “professional” – and ended up with a well-used Canon 40D – which was one step up in terms of camera performance. When I first starting getting interested in photography when I was 16, my first camera was a Canon 400D, which I received as a Christmas present.
