If want a camera that can take a beating without sacrificing photo quality or need serious shooting speed, these are the models you should consider. They require a hefty investment--you've got to pair them with great lenses that start at $1,000--but in exchange they'll give you state-of-the-art imaging technology and the breadth of creative control you need to produce professional results.

| The Bottom Line | Canon's EOS 1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customization, and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market. | The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera. | Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture. |
